Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. I hope everyone is having a wonderful week.
00:00:04.860
Today we are going to talk about a study that was published this week by NBC and the Wall Street Journal
00:00:14.260
I've talked about it a few times this week on Fox, on the radio, on OAN,
00:00:18.780
so maybe you've already heard my analysis, but of course today we'll get more in depth.
00:00:23.060
I've been really excited to talk about this because this points to so much of what we discuss on this podcast
00:00:33.700
I know we talk about this topic a lot, but that's because it is so prominent and so pervasive in our culture today
00:00:40.460
and there are even attempts by Christians to make this biblical or quasi-biblical
00:00:46.420
and I think it's really important that we as Christians are able to stand against it logically and biblically
00:00:53.360
So we're going to talk about what the results were and what they actually mean.
00:00:57.820
It shouldn't surprise us, anyone that has been paying attention to the direction that our generations are going
00:01:03.200
or any of you who have listened to this podcast for any amount of time,
00:01:07.040
we kind of know this about the younger generations.
00:01:10.560
So it looked at ages 18 to 38, that's part of Generation Z and all of millennials.
00:01:16.080
It showed they do not care about three things, at least not as much as older generations
00:01:20.660
and not as much as they did about 20 years ago.
00:01:24.680
Patriotism, God, and having kids, those are the three things that compared to older generations,
00:01:29.500
our generations just really don't care about that much.
00:01:33.760
Among people 55 and older, for example, nearly 80% said patriotism was very important,
00:01:44.480
The millennial generation and older members of Gen Z.
00:01:48.300
Two-thirds of the older group cited religion as very important, with fewer than one-third
00:01:54.700
Over 50% of baby boomers also play a high value on having children,
00:01:58.680
while only a little over a third of millennials do.
00:02:02.920
So, in other words, the vast majority of millennials and older Gen Zers do not value patriotism,
00:02:09.480
they do not value religion, and they do not value having children.
00:02:14.160
These are values that Americans have been able to bond over for a very long time,
00:02:20.320
That's just not true anymore, at least among people who are under the age of 40.
00:02:25.920
Most of us do this poll shows, most of us do still place a high value on hard work,
00:02:31.720
but the younger generations are still less likely to care about that than the older generations are,
00:02:38.040
Now, before we get into the analysis, which you can probably guess what I'm going to say,
00:02:46.220
I understand that the millennial bashing gets really old.
00:02:51.100
I have talked about how terrible millennials are.
00:02:54.020
I have heard how terrible millennials are many times.
00:02:58.620
I am not someone, let me tell you, I am not someone who hates millennials.
00:03:05.620
or who thinks that all millennials were raised in a vacuum.
00:03:14.340
They did a great job raising me and instilling me with awesome values.
00:03:18.420
But a lot of baby boomers love to complain about about millennials and about how terrible we are,
00:03:30.040
So whether it was their direct influence or through their lack of influence and the impact of whatever school that we went to,
00:03:38.780
We've learned our principles and we have learned our worldview from somewhere.
00:03:48.920
I think that we are more empathetic than generations that have come before us.
00:03:55.560
We're more open and more interested in other cultures.
00:04:06.700
While at the same time, some millennials want things handed to them.
00:04:10.020
And there are a lot of millennials who are willing to pursue their passion and make it into a career.
00:04:16.880
I also think that the millennials who do have their heads screwed on straight have the potential to be excellent parents as well as excellent leaders.
00:04:24.160
We have started to see the harm that technology is doing to kids.
00:04:28.400
And we might be more disciplined in that, not just for ourselves, but for the people that we raise.
00:04:35.500
Maybe we'll be more diligent about making sure that we are their primary influence.
00:04:40.400
That's what I hope, anyway, for millennials and Generation Z.
00:04:44.520
The common descriptions, though, the stereotypes that we see of our generation, or our generations, I should say, as entitled and self-centered, are true about a lot of us.
00:04:56.600
Not all of us, of course, but about a lot of us.
00:04:58.940
And there is so much that has helped create this helicopter parenting, the everyone gets a trophy mentality that we had at school growing up,
00:05:10.200
There was a day and time in which an entire family shared a television or shared a computer,
00:05:15.440
and it increased as we got older that everyone had personalized devices, whether that was a Game Boy or an iPad or an iPhone.
00:05:28.920
I already forgot about what that word was, an iPod or an iPhone.
00:05:33.220
Social media, of course, has contributed to this.
00:05:35.660
And then as we got older, we got even more conditioned to this idea of instant gratification that characterizes services like Amazon, Uber Eats, etc.
00:05:52.120
We are accustomed to having our very personalized needs met.
00:05:56.360
Our universes have grown increasingly centered on ourselves.
00:06:04.460
And that's also not to say that millennials haven't had challenges.
00:06:07.480
Of course, like every generation, millennials have had challenges.
00:06:10.120
There was the recession about 10 years ago that especially older millennials really probably got the brunt of.
00:06:16.240
And even if you were a younger millennial, your parents went through it.
00:06:20.960
And of course, a lot of millennials have been overseas in the Middle East fighting what seems like an endless war.
00:06:27.600
And of course, individuals who are in these generations have had their own personal struggles.
00:06:33.020
Of course, there are millennials and Generation Z whose families are in poverty.
00:06:37.360
Of course, there are things that difficulties that these generations have had to overcome.
00:06:42.540
This is not to say that every millennial has had it easy and that every millennial should just buck up and stop complaining.
00:06:51.140
But, but it appears that millennials have learned in general that the world should serve them.
00:06:58.880
That we are on the throne of our own universes.
00:07:03.600
And this, of course, is reflected in the thing that we talk about all the time in online culture.
00:07:08.240
So self-love, self-care, self-empowerment, self-fulfillment.
00:07:12.080
These all fall under the category of what I call trendy narcissism.
00:07:16.500
We can try to say that it's healthy, that it's good, that it's boosting confidence, but it's not.
00:07:20.980
It's a way to glorify selfishness and arrogance as virtues.
00:07:25.480
This, of course, is in large part why millennials don't care about having kids, don't care about patriotism, and don't care about God.
00:07:33.740
I'm not saying there aren't other factors, but this is, at least in my opinion, a large factor that plays into all of this.
00:07:47.400
The putting aside of immediate gratification for the sake of someone or something else.
00:07:51.880
I talked a lot about this on my motherhood podcast that I did last week.
00:07:55.900
The joy of self-emptying that can be something that maybe at first you want to resist, but actually affords you a lot of satisfaction.
00:08:03.600
Millennials have also learned that America is bad and is completely characterized by its failures rather than its victories.
00:08:10.680
This is also something that we talked about last week in an episode titled Two Americas.
00:08:15.460
We've learned that having kids will hamper our self-fulfillment, which is found, we're told, in being fit and successful.
00:08:21.880
And that believing in God and actually believing and practicing what the Bible says is bigoted and backwards and wrong.
00:08:32.740
And it's not to say that we are just victims of our circumstances or victims of other people's doctrine.
00:08:37.180
We have made the choice to take these things on.
00:08:40.320
But most of all, we have been taught that we are the only thing that matters.
00:08:45.580
Now, let me clarify, as it seems I always have to, because there's probably already comments on YouTube saying these things.
00:08:52.580
But let me just clarify that when I criticize self-love, I am not advocating for self-deprecation.
00:08:59.300
And when I criticize self-care, I am not advocating for self-harm.
00:09:02.940
And when I criticize self-empowerment, self-fulfillment and self-help, I am not advocating for self-sabotage.
00:09:09.080
Obviously, I am not saying that we shouldn't acknowledge or use our abilities, that we shouldn't get our nails done,
00:09:15.280
or that we shouldn't set our goals and have a schedule and an agenda and all of that.
00:09:21.720
I just don't see the need to focus on loving ourselves or caring for ourselves or helping ourselves any more than we already do.
00:09:30.140
I just don't see, and I've never seen a self-love deficit in our culture.
00:09:37.000
And yet, and yet, all of a sudden, we are getting told by Instagram psychologists that we do,
00:09:42.400
that our problem is that we don't love ourselves enough.
00:09:44.880
Our problem is that we don't take care of ourselves enough, that we don't do enough of the things that we want.
00:09:52.260
And I just don't really see that as a problem that our society in the United States of America,
00:09:59.620
But we're told that all of our problems will go away, that our anxiety, that our insecurity, our paranoia,
00:10:04.900
our depression, our loneliness, the answer to all of these things are found inside of ourselves.
00:10:10.000
And if we just muster out the strength to love ourselves more and to be more confident,
00:10:13.500
then we will finally be at peace and be satisfied.
00:10:18.200
But as I've said many times, that's not the answer to all of those things.
00:10:23.240
What we find is that if you are in a place of depression or insecurity or paranoia
00:10:29.020
or something like that, you actually don't have the strength to just love yourself more.
00:10:33.640
If someone just tells you, if you are in a state of despair, just love yourself more,
00:10:38.520
you're thinking, OK, I would love to be able to do that, but I can't.
00:10:42.640
That's, you know, part of the problem is that you can't feel any positive thoughts
00:10:46.520
or you feel like you're out of control in your own mind.
00:10:49.500
And so the prescription of self-love actually doesn't solve what the problem is.
00:10:54.860
It's not actually a proper diagnosis because the reality is, is that self-love is already natural.
00:11:05.000
This doesn't mean that you think that you are perfect and lovely and awesome all of the time.
00:11:10.240
It means that you will naturally always look out for yourself and your best interest.
00:11:14.680
And it actually takes effort and discipline for us not to do that, for us to put those
00:11:18.880
things to the side and for us to look to the interests of other people.
00:11:23.060
This is why Ephesians 5 29 says, husbands, love your wives as you love your own body.
00:11:29.220
For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it.
00:11:33.180
And that is why and how Jesus tells us to love others as we love ourselves.
00:11:38.360
I know we've talked about this a million times, but when you think about it, that's really
00:11:41.980
a radical command that we are born with this instinct to do whatever we have to do to survive.
00:11:48.420
We are born with the inclination to serve ourselves, to find comfort and protection and sustenance.
00:11:54.480
And unless we are driven by a purpose or a reason or a thing, something is driving us
00:12:00.280
to something that is higher than ourselves, we will do whatever we can to obtain it.
00:12:05.600
And Jesus tells us to love people like that, to do whatever it takes to meet the needs of others.
00:12:12.660
So just as you would instinctively look for shelter for yourself in a storm, Jesus is telling us
00:12:18.640
in the same way, look for shelter for other people.
00:12:21.880
So just as you would desperately look for water, if you're thirsty, Jesus is telling us desperately
00:12:29.520
Just as anxiously as we would look for food, if we were starving, we should be just as anxious
00:12:37.420
As much as we naturally seek to avoid loneliness and avoid despair, we are to seek to help others
00:12:46.720
That is the kind of a so-called self-love that Jesus is telling us to reflect and imitate to other people.
00:12:53.660
The kind that you don't have to teach, that we were made with, that we were naturally driven by.
00:12:59.520
In addition, obviously, to the sacrifice that is learned through Jesus by the Holy Spirit,
00:13:05.080
he's asking that we be naturally driven by the same kind of love to other people.
00:13:12.260
It is loving other people in the natural way that we love ourselves that is the sacrificial
00:13:19.400
He is not saying, Jesus is not saying, unless you think, for example, that your postpartum body
00:13:25.520
is beautiful, you actually can't love yourself until you're able to do that.
00:13:29.300
Or until you have higher standards for what kind of guys you date, you can't really love
00:13:35.780
Think about how dumb that would be if that was the commandment that Jesus, the God of the
00:13:39.860
universe, gave us, that that's what the world tells us, that you can't love, or that is
00:13:45.680
what the world tells us, that you can't love other people until you love yourself.
00:13:48.720
And the kind of love, though, that they're describing is superficial.
00:13:52.600
It's not the radical, hospitable, inconvenient love that Jesus is talking about.
00:13:57.000
It's the tell someone they look good in their genes and that their feelings are valid kind
00:14:04.060
Do you honestly think that Jesus, knowing who Jesus is, having read the gospels, who bled
00:14:09.740
on the cross for our sins, the ultimate act of self-denial on behalf of wayward sinners,
00:14:15.420
do you honestly think that when he is asking us to imitate him in our own self-denial, that
00:14:21.200
he actually meant that we need to hold off on loving other people until we feel good about
00:14:26.940
As I've said, the Bible is radically unconcerned with self-love, but I want to correct that
00:14:32.500
because it actually is concerned with self-love, just not in the way that our world is.
00:14:39.360
So 2 Timothy 3, 1 through 5 has something to say about this.
00:14:42.340
But understand this, that in the last days, there will come times of difficulty for people
00:14:47.640
will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents,
00:14:54.260
ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not
00:14:59.640
loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers
00:15:05.160
of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power.
00:15:11.200
I mean, how many are guilty of us, first of all, of at least a few of the things that
00:15:16.880
I mean, we as Christians sure are not immune to these things.
00:15:20.020
So I'm not trying to say that, okay, we're innocent of all of these sins that have been
00:15:31.320
They are things to be struggled against and not things to indulge in.
00:15:34.600
And how accurately, though, does this describe where we are and who we are?
00:15:39.980
Lovers of self, lovers of money, proud and arrogant.
00:15:49.200
We hate the idea in our culture of sanctity or purity.
00:15:58.420
It also reminds me of those who are constantly setting new standards for wokeness.
00:16:08.040
Without self-control, telling someone to make good choices we think nowadays is bigoted,
00:16:15.560
Again, I would refer you to many of those who promote abortion.
00:16:25.860
This is what happens when you exchange the God of scripture for the God of self.
00:16:30.000
Having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power.
00:16:37.260
I think I've said nowadays like three times, which is three times more than I've ever said
00:16:41.260
But nowadays, who simultaneously claim to be morally relative, but are constantly setting
00:16:46.720
their own standards for morality that other people need to abide by.
00:16:51.040
Here's an amazing quote by Miley Cyrus, of course, our moral arbiter.
00:16:55.860
That really, it just typifies exactly what has been normalized by people our age.
00:17:02.240
She says, why are we trained that love means putting yourself second and those you love
00:17:10.940
If you love yourself, if self-love is your main priority, you come first.
00:17:15.980
Um, actually the whole article about her on enews.com, uh, not typically where I get my
00:17:22.080
news, but I was looking for this quote because I had seen it floating around is a very perfect
00:17:26.960
encapsulation of, uh, today's morality or so-called morality.
00:17:31.260
But, uh, we just don't have time to get into the entire article.
00:17:34.800
We could probably do a whole episode on Miley Cyrus.
00:17:42.340
There are, these are actually excerpts from a passage from a little book on the Christian
00:17:48.240
Uh, so first let me quote this pertinent biblical passage, Philippians 2, 3, do nothing from
00:17:54.360
selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility, count others more significant than yourselves.
00:17:59.940
That is a radical commandment only made possible by the Holy spirit.
00:18:04.020
I certainly could never do that ever by myself.
00:18:06.720
Uh, John Calvin says this in this book, uh, and again, these are excerpts.
00:18:12.900
Each of us thinks we have just cause for elevating ourselves and despising all others in comparison
00:18:23.320
In fact, we so delude ourselves that we sometimes embrace our vices as virtues.
00:18:29.040
There is no one who does not nourish a high opinion of himself within our very nature inclines
00:18:39.280
As a result, we don't easily deny ourselves or our desires in order to seek the good of
00:18:47.680
Let us then return to humility by so doing, there will be nothing left in us to puff us up,
00:18:53.600
but on the contrary, there will be much to put us in our place.
00:18:58.960
We will never achieve genuine meekness except by having our hearts saturated with self-denial
00:19:08.780
And this was written by the way, hundreds of years ago, which to me, it comforts me to realize that
00:19:16.120
Of course, that there's nothing new under the sun, that the same sin that we are now glorifying
00:19:20.380
today was also glorified hundreds of years ago in John Calvin's time.
00:19:25.480
And the reason that comforts me is because I am constantly getting caught up in my anxiety
00:19:30.260
that the world is worse than it's ever been, which in some ways I do think that it actually
00:19:35.300
But Satan is not creative and sin is not innovative.
00:19:39.140
And so the things that we are struggling with today, people have always struggled with.
00:19:43.480
It is human nature, which just renews the importance of us Christians being knowledgeable
00:19:48.740
about what this problem is and what it means and how to logically and biblically fight against
00:19:55.580
So self-obsession by which we have been conditioned, millennials have been conditioned for years
00:20:01.020
is a, not the, but a root cause of our resistance to anything that burdens us or displaces us from
00:20:10.480
Um, we start to view privileges as rights and we start to view inconveniences as injustice.
00:20:18.540
When you put yourself on the throne of your universe, that's what happens.
00:20:22.420
You see privileges as rights and inconveniences as injustice.
00:20:26.620
And that really explains a lot of the attitude that we're seeing from a lot of young people
00:20:31.820
This is precisely why we as a generation are also attracted to the policies of Bernie Sanders
00:20:39.400
You know that I'm not including myself in that, but as a generation, we have a right,
00:20:44.480
we think to free college, to free birth control, to free abortions, to free healthcare, to free
00:20:50.300
We have a right not to work if we don't want to.
00:20:52.720
We have a right to reparations and any policy that says that we don't, or any person that
00:20:59.540
And the policy is unjust, who disagrees with any of these things.
00:21:03.540
And the, the opposition to this might say, well, no, this viewpoint is actually compassionate
00:21:10.520
because you're not just saying that you want these things for yourselves.
00:21:13.060
You're also saying that you want these things for other people, people who are underprivileged.
00:21:19.100
They might say the marginalized in the environment, but it's actually, it's actually not when it
00:21:24.600
gets down to the pragmatism of the actual policy.
00:21:27.620
Now I do believe, and I've said this before, and I will always say this, as long as I see
00:21:31.980
this happening, I do believe that there are many, many liberals, you, some of you might
00:21:37.120
There are many liberals who genuinely believe that leftist policies are the most compassionate
00:21:44.740
They are sincere in their desire to care for the least of these.
00:21:47.280
Now they probably don't give conservatives the benefit of the doubt for our policies,
00:21:50.900
but I will give them the benefit of the doubt because I do believe that.
00:21:54.120
Uh, but the problem is they are still ultimately selfish and detrimental policies because most
00:22:00.680
of them are, uh, because you are asking the government to subsidize your unwillingness
00:22:07.060
Uh, and as I have always said, socialism is millennials way of feeling virtuous without
00:22:12.680
ever having to get off the couch, which of course is not actual virtue.
00:22:16.560
Uh, there is a reason why study after study shows that conservatives give more to charity
00:22:22.520
than liberals do, uh, why the percentage that every millionaire democratic candidate for
00:22:27.560
president gave to charity last year was under 3%, 3% of what they made.
00:22:32.260
I know people who are much poorer, like hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars poorer
00:22:38.160
than Beto O'Rourke who gave a lot more, not just percentage of what they make, but also
00:22:44.340
just a dollar amount of what they make to charity.
00:22:47.380
And yet these are the same people that want to lecture the rest of the world, or at least
00:22:52.420
the rest of the country about empathy, but it is not empathy.
00:22:56.240
It is not empathy to tell the government to take money from people that are richer than
00:23:02.960
If you are being generous with other people's money.
00:23:06.060
Um, and for those who are Christians, who also people who identify as Christians, who also
00:23:12.560
identify as socialists, uh, besides the myriad biblical passages that we have walked through
00:23:17.340
many times that, uh, push against socialism, I would like these people to consider, to consider
00:23:22.820
why socialism and godlessness always seems to go hand in hand.
00:23:27.420
Why is it that nations that when nations move further to the left and the government grows
00:23:36.780
Can you name a country, uh, that has become more Christian or even more religiously free
00:23:43.020
has had more religious liberty as it's moved closer to communism and socialism?
00:23:48.320
Can you name a country that those two things have gone in the same direction?
00:23:51.740
I can't, but, but before I freak all of you out and you're thinking, oh my gosh, we're
00:23:56.900
going to hell in a handbasket here and the country is going to be ruined.
00:24:02.420
And here's, here's where I find hope as scary as it can be to think about that.
00:24:09.360
Uh, there's obviously there's always hope there's hope in Christ.
00:24:12.280
There's hope in things eternal, knowing that this world is not our home and that one day
00:24:15.600
Jesus is going to rule in perfect peace and that there's not going to be divisiveness.
00:24:21.140
There are going to be people that we disagreed with on this earth and heaven, and we are going
00:24:24.940
to be in perfect unity and perfect peace there.
00:24:30.120
But there's also something to hope for and to understand about this life or this side
00:24:37.240
of eternity, um, that what happens when Christianity becomes less mainstream in a country, it's hard
00:24:44.260
as it is to watch as difficult, as difficult as it is.
00:24:47.900
And as much as I think we have a responsibility as Christians, uh, to make sure that God's law,
00:24:53.340
um, as much as we can is being advocated for here on earth, either, you know, legislatively,
00:24:59.580
like through abortion policy or privately, um, you know, through our own lives and just
00:25:06.700
As difficult as it is to see Christianity become less mainstream though, uh, what we can find
00:25:12.860
comfort in is that the church of God always becomes stronger is that when the church, the
00:25:18.820
true church is pushed to the margins of society, that we actually become stronger, that there
00:25:24.140
is no law, that there is no policy, that there is no rule or ban or any kind of limitation
00:25:30.760
on free speech or freedom of religious exercise that is going to drown out the gospel of Jesus
00:25:38.540
That is why the Bible is extremely concerned with us persevering through the end.
00:25:43.180
That is why the Bible is extremely concerned about persecution and extremely concerned about
00:25:48.340
trial, not concerned in the sense that they're scared that we're, um, that it's not going to
00:25:54.080
be ultimately fruitful for the gospel, but, uh, that we would pray for the strength to
00:26:00.280
endure and that we would understand that these persecutions are going to come and that we
00:26:04.620
find comfort and peace and the ability to keep going, uh, through the Holy spirit in Christ.
00:26:10.500
The Bible is extremely concerned and extremely focused on that.
00:26:14.640
And the Bible tells us time and time again, that the word of God is not going to fail, that
00:26:20.840
And for those of us who are in Christ, we have hope in that, that it's okay if America,
00:26:26.500
and this is so hard for me to say as a Christian conservative, who loves this country and loves
00:26:33.620
If our country becomes not a Christian country, it's okay.
00:26:38.880
Now I'm not saying I'm advocating for that, obviously, and you would have to be a crazy person
00:26:53.680
So raise our families in the Lord, preach the word of God as much as we can share the
00:26:58.120
gospel, be loving to our neighbors, stand up for what's right, speak the truth, be kind
00:27:03.560
That's getting increasingly difficult by the way, especially on social media, which is
00:27:11.180
Our responsibility is to be obedient and to glorify God in all that we can.
00:27:17.840
But if we lose, we understand that the war is already won in Christ.
00:27:26.800
And trust me, I understand that is easier said than done, especially as a mom.
00:27:32.180
And for those of you who are moms and dads out there who are worried about the future
00:27:36.120
generations and what it's going to look like and raising your kids in a potentially socialist
00:27:39.940
country, I know, I know, I've talked about this a million times, I know, but we have
00:27:44.740
to trust that the Lord put us on this moment, on the span of eternity for a reason, and that
00:27:50.820
he equips every generation with what they need.
00:27:54.180
And if you are a Christian that's in this generation, that we have a very special role,
00:28:00.240
And we certainly shouldn't give that up just because times are scary.
00:28:04.060
Actually, we should be even more bold in the gospel.
00:28:12.620
If you have any questions, as always, please reach out to me, follow on Instagram, Twitter,
00:28:17.380
wherever you want to follow, unless, of course, I give up Twitter.
00:28:20.480
Let me know if you think that I should give up Twitter.
00:28:22.760
What I do is I delete the Twitter app, and then I just end up using the browser for like
00:28:31.400
And then I get the Twitter app, and then I'm on it too much.
00:28:33.660
And then I delete it, and then I consider deleting my account.
00:28:37.220
And so, but my life and my mind is so much better when I'm not on Twitter.
00:28:41.700
This week has been a terrible, a terrible Twitter week because I've been on Fox a few
00:28:48.540
times, and whenever you're on Fox, there's always people, crazy people from, I'm not even
00:28:54.260
going to say their organization that will take what you say, post and say, I can't believe
00:28:59.840
And they're trying to embarrass you, and you're like, yeah, I said that because it's true.
00:29:03.660
But it's just, and then you get trolls and people saying terrible things.
00:29:11.820
But man, people are crazy, and people hate conservatives.
00:29:21.700
So let me know what you think if I should just delete my Twitter.
00:29:37.580
And oh, by the way, there's always someone that says this.
00:29:44.120
It doesn't actually finish a thought, and then I just go to the next thought.
