A four-part cycle shapes history: good times make weak people, weak people create bad times, bad times forge strong people, strong people build good times again. We're in the weak phase now, where words feel like violence. The answer is finding something beyond yourself, whether you call it grace or God, or you'll stay empty.

If you want to know history, I'm going to give it to you in 4 sentences. Good times create weak people. Weak people create bad times. Bad times create strong people. And strong people create great times. It's literally the history of the world. It's a cycle that we go through. And right now we're in the cycle where a lot of people that are weak, they, you know, silence is violence, words are violence. So we're in a weird position right now. Yeah, but that calls to people to the point where they get humbled because because they don't know what to do. And when you get humbled, you tend to look for something beyond yourself, something deeper in this world. Call it grace, call it God, call it universal intelligence. I don't limit people to say, well, use the words I would use. Everyone has their own way of reaching that. I'm respectful of that, but they gotta find it or they're gonna feel really empty inside.
