"Sebastian Junger gave me the tasking — guys like us, we're supposed to gather Americans in the middle." Boone on the real mission: not pulling people to a side but gathering them in the center where the common ground is. And the way you get there is teaching kids critical thinking before the manipulation gets to them first.

What do we do about all this stuff? How do we get on the same team? I mean, I'm, you know, Sebastian Younger gave me the tasking that guys like us, we're supposed to gather Americans in the middle. And, you know, the middle is terrifying. That's why we can do it. But folks don't want to get in the middle. They want to fucking separate and they want to not be on the same team. What do we do about that? Can we do anything about it? Well, I think the first thing that we have to do all the way around is get over the cognitive dissonance. We may have lost a couple generations already, to be honest with you. But if those that are in the know who know how to educate, I'm not going to completely spill the beans, but I am coming out with an educational series for specific age groups to talk about these types of things. So as kids get older, I mean, yeah, when When we were growing up, well, you got told the birds and the bees when you were a certain age. You got told certain things when you're a certain age. Well, it's your don't go over near that house or stay away from that neighborhood or you had to learn your operational environment as you were growing up. Now we have a different operational environment for kids that are growing up and they become very susceptible to all the messaging and all the psychological operations as they grow. So what we have to do is make sure that we're teaching them at a young enough age to be able to identify and see what they're looking at when they are seeing that manipulation. So they are not manipulated. So they do understand, you know, how to compare and contrast things and make decisions independently. That really has to be a focus in our culture now. And again, we may have lost one or two generations, but if we can start maneuvering now and doing these tutorials, this teaching of younger people about how not to be manipulated, I think that's how we start dealing with the problem. All right, let's flip the glass around and turn it into a mirror and let's look at ourselves. how do we know that the direction that we're going is wrong? Like what, what makes us so resistant to having a society that is manipulated in one common direction? I mean, we use Sweden and Norway all the time, places that are ethnically homogenous. They go in one direction. It's like, it's time to wear a mask. They all put the mask on. And a lot of ways our diversity really binds us up. It causes us a lot of, you know, distrust, problems, right? So how do we become a hive mind? I mean, is this necessarily a bad thing? I don't think we necessarily do become a hive mind in the United States. I think the door swings both ways before it comes to center. We had a period of time in our history where everything was taught from an elder down, And it was usually someone you knew or someone you paid, whether it's a teacher, a professor, an uncle, an aunt, a teacher. It was always in that format. So you would get wisdom when you would get knowledge because you were learning knowledge from someone who had wisdom.
