00:00But how do you do that? Because I've thought about that, like, I think it's so brave and
00:05so kind of sophisticated how you move through the world, like, with your political views.
00:11And I wonder sometimes both what it costs you, I mean, not just like the things that,
00:18not just like the deal you lost because you talked about abortion.
00:22Yeah, there's many.

01:25curiosity, and I think I just fought so much with people online.
01:30Wow!
01:31In my comments, on my blog, and I'm quite reactive. So if they would say something,
01:39then I would reply to that, but like with a whole post.
01:42Through doing that, I think I just discovered what I thought about things because I was just like,
01:51how do I respond to this? I know that I don't agree with what this is saying. How can I
01:56like express
01:58why I don't agree?
