I mean, I, you know, feel very strongly that itās not enough to just live in the world as it is, to just kind of take what youāre given and, you know, follow the things that adults told you to do and that your parents told you to do and that society tells you to do. I think you should always be questioning. You know, I take this very scientific attitude that everything youāve learned is just provisional, that, you know, itās always open to recantation or refutation or questioning. And I think the same applies to society. Once I realized that there were real, serious problems, fundamental problems that I could do something to address, I didnāt see a way to forget that. I didnāt see a way not to.
