be that change that you want to see in the world
if you see a world that is descending into chaos and disorder and people being dysregulated and not taking responsibility 
then be that person who does take responsibility
be that person who is in control 
doing their best to control their emotions
to be reasonable to be that adult in the room 
to be that person who is a Counterpoint to that behavior and say no

if you think about the best teachers that you've ever had in your education they weren't the ones who ranted and raved
they weren't the ones who went the other way and just indulged you and let this class from descend into chaos 
they're the ones who came in who set an example who every day did their best and you remember them because they set an example
not the two other Polar Opposites 
and that's what I think what we all need to be and certainly what I'm trying to be 
I think that's the best way to be to try and be that person to Aspire to that

it's interesting a lot of that it comes back to uh philosophy

but now as as we move further we're no longer bystanders right we're in the game now so to speak 
what we do who we invite it sort of it has a small Ripple it's just a small little Ripple but but it has that Ripple
and we can't pretend to ourselves that there isn't that responsibility on us
and so we're really trying to be better people 
we're genuinely trying to to be constructive as people and as participants in this world that we live in yeah
and think about less about you know who is being canceled and who hasn't been allowed this and that
but actually you know how do we give opportunities to people
how do we create things how do you know 
rather than being two comedians to set up a podcast to complain about things that needed addressing yeah
what are we creating exactly

and and also as well looking at your own shadow
because it's very easy to look outwards and point out the flaws in other people and God this person's like this this person's like this yeah 
but what about you um
what about what you bring to the world is it all good
what work are you doing in order to try and keep that shadow under as much control as possible
and to deal with it 
what work are you doing
it's so important to grow yeah

I think that's why so many people the miserable they're miserable because they don't grow 
they enter just a period of stasis yeah
where they don't grow where they don't develop where they don't improve yes
and as a result they slowly atrophy yeah 
I think that's a very real problem
yes 100% 100% without external pressure people do atrophy
we're living longer 
without external pressure people do atrophy
the world is a more civilized Place 
atrophy
without external pressure people do atrophy 
stagnation uh becoming too comfortable
because they don't grow 
atrophy
because they don't grow
