00:00 You are in a party and people start laughing at you.
00:03 You don't even bother to see exactly who is laughing.
00:06 That chorus, that collective laughter is enough to quell your spirit.
00:10 Something big, something collective, something massive is coming at you
00:14 and you lose all your discretion.
00:16 You just surrender.

00:20 and you again lose all discretion.

00:27 The central problem is that you don't have high company.

00:51 But that will take time.
00:52 Stop listening to fools and get in the company of some worthy people,
00:57 living or dead.
