If we're being honest, that's a fool's move. You got to look at the article. You got to see what it's about. You got to kind of spend a little bit of time on, you know, who wrote this, where are they coming from? And and that, again, helps with that discernment. And you're not pushing out information based upon a headline that's just being shared, shared, shared. And believe me, the people who write these articles do that for a reason. You know, they they want to get. They want to see how many people clicked on my article. It's clickbait at its best. And it's always been this way. I mean, you see headlines on newspapers. You had five words and you had to make it something fantastical that someone would buy that newspaper. Well, it's the same thing now, except it's done in digital space. So we have to recognize that that's part of the game. And we want to make sure that we're not getting played by the game. Well, that even applies to the fake news. Just yesterday, I saw an article, a screenshot from CNBC claiming that Luigi Mangione, the guy that shot the healthcare CEO, he was Epstein killed in his cell and everybody just ran with that. And the first thing that occurred to me is like, well, let me go look at CNBC, their digital account, their social media and their web, and it wasn't there. Right. So nefarious people. So it's not just always even the the news article trying to grab people's headlines, but people that are faking information to get everyone to run with it and effectively the clown everybody that does make us lose credibility. Yeah. Yeah. And I think that's a good point. You know, I mean, what are we really talking about here? If you're a person online and believe me, I've made mistakes. My, you know, Team BC, that whole team, every person on that team has made mistakes. And it's been, honestly, over the last 10 years, there's been a lot of refinement because even myself, you know, 10 years ago, if you were to look at the post I was making 10 years ago, I wasn't spending enough time It was just, it was just kind of a willy nilly pass it around, whatever. But then when you realize that there's, there's damage with that, there's residue, you know, there's, there's garbage. Um, then you're just spreading garbage around and that contaminates people's minds. So I think we all have to take a big good stewards of information, just like you're a good steward of taking out your trash on whatever trash day is, you know, you don't just kind of throw it, you don't take it out to the curb and dump it on the ground. You keep it contained. You make sure it goes to where it's supposed to go. You recycle, you know, you do all those things. And that's a good example. You know, when you're putting something, when you're putting a post out, you're basically putting something on your curb, right? You know, you want to make sure that it's neat so it can be taken to the right place and the right things can be done with it. It's the same thing. So don't trash up your street. Don't trash up. Don't trash up your feed either. This is a great segue to what I want to ask you, because I'm going to use this and pretend there's no audience for just a minute. Like I legitimately look up to you. I've read almost everything you've done. I have. I've come to the conclusion through my own discernment that most of what I'm being told is a lie. Most of what I'm being shown from the mainstream media, from even our federal government, a lot of it, there's just so many holes that can be poked in it that there's no reality to what I'm being shown.
