00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.080
So I think a lot of people
thought when you bought Twitter that this is

2
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:06.759
kind of an outlier, like,
how does this what doesn't fit with these

3
00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:10.839
other things you're doing. I never
thought that because I think what you're dealing

4
00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:15.599
with big civilizational issues and problems,
and I was right on your page.

5
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:18.320
I think Twitter is one of them. I mean, you have talked about

6
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:24.519
this woke mind virus, yes,
in really apocalyptic terms. I don't you

7
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:28.839
should explain why you don't think it's
hyperbole to say things like it's pushing civilization

8
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:32.600
towards suicide. First of all,
what is the woke mind virus? And

9
00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:35.679
if we don't deal with this,
nothing else can get done. Tell me

10
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:41.159
why you think that. Yeah,
so I think we need to be very

11
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:49.439
cautious about any anything that is anti
meritocratic and anything that is that results in

12
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:54.079
the suppression of a free speech.
So, you know, those are two

13
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:56.600
of the aspects of the work mind
virus that I think are very dangerous.

14
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:02.560
Is that it's often areacratic. You
can't you can't question things, even the

15
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:07.239
questioning is bad. So, uh, you know, you know another way

16
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:12.040
to almost anonymous would we would be
canceled culture And obviously people have tried to

17
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:15.000
cancel you many times, many times, yeah, I mean every week,

18
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:21.400
Yeah, from left and right.
I've had it from both sides. Yeah.

19
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:23.680
And it's interesting people you and I
are both like in that little group

20
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:26.959
of people. Maybe it's a bigger
group. Yeah, who who are called

21
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:30.439
conservative? Who haven't really changed?
I don't see. I think of you

22
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:36.519
as a conservative definitely. Yeah,
Like at least think of myself as a

23
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:42.680
moderate, you know. So,
I mean at least like I've spent a

24
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:47.719
massive amount of my life energy building
sustainable energy, you know, electric vehicles

25
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:51.599
and batteries and solar and stuff to
help save the environment. That's that's not

26
00:01:51.760 --> 00:02:00.719
that's not a yeah, not exactly
far right drew that diet.
