I'm surrounded by people who care more about Charlie Kirk than about Gaza, sometimes it's hard not to believe that most people are drones or just horrendous people. I can't even watch a video my colleague sent me on AI because it's so western centric and anti-China and I can't get past that to have a conversation about the other stuff. It's so isolating and disconnecting.
