So when someone says that, you know, I'm in the red zone, what does that actually look like in real life? And how do most people completely miss early morning signs?

Yeah.

So before I jump into that, I think it's important that with today's conversation, people understand that there needs to be a little bit of emotional intelligence involved, meaning at a very high level, how do I interpret the way I'm feeling as well as how do I interpret others around me, right? So there's kind of the introspective part as well as the social piece.

and so you're never going to be able to engage in productive conflict if you completely lack eq or emotional intelligence so to answer your question you know what does it look like when we're in this red zone at the end of the day they are triggered that's what it means it looks like an emotional overreaction it could be defensiveness Or you might be attributing negative intent towards others versus assuming best intent if you were in a more or I should say less triggered state of mind.

Right.

So you're pissed off at him.

That's what's happening here.

Well, you're getting your PhD, so...

And what would be the outcome if the Supreme Court decides to side with Monsanto or if the Supreme Court decides to go with, um, you know, these more state laws?

Uh, that's really the, the million-dollar question, isn't it? Um, should the court side with Monsanto here, should the court find that federal pesticide law does preempt the state law, uh, failure to warn claims, then we're gonna see a ripple effect.

So not only will this affect the case directly in front of the Supreme Court, but it's going to affect potentially thousands of cases.

And for the farmer, what does that mean? Would these products be pulled off the market potentially?

It's hard to say.

With Roundup in particular, I know Bayer has made statements saying that if this level of litigation continues, they might need to look at some s- maybe pulling their products off the market or maybe modifying how their products appear on the market.

I think something to keep in mind, too, especially when we're talking about this particular case and the Roundup litigation in general, a lot of that, this litigation is driven by plaintiffs who use not agricultural pesticides, but, um, pesticides that are meant to be used in the home or used, uh, in landscaping.

So there's also sort of this disconnect between where we're seeing these plaintiffs come from and, of course, the, um, actual on-the-farm products.
