But Danah says maybe even more important than comprehension and control is that third C word, community.
Dannagal YoungGUEST
And this simply captures the notion that we are social animals who do not exist truly as individuals in a vacuum.
Dannagal YoungGUEST
We only exist embedded within a social context, and that has to do with how we were able to survive historically.
Dannagal YoungGUEST
Even here in the US, that notion even of, of ramp- you know, ardent individualism is itself, believe it or not, a group norm.
Dannagal YoungGUEST
We are individualists because everyone around us also prizes that value of individualism, um, which I think is kind of hilariously ironic.

32:00John BiewenHOST
Research has found that increased homogeneity within a political party serves to crank up the emotional temperature for those on that side.
Dannagal YoungGUEST
There is something primal in us that happens when we look like our team, we live like our team, we live in the same places as our team, we worship like our team.
Dannagal YoungGUEST
There's something really primal that ignites in us because we have such good group fit.

I would love you to talk about MAHA, Make America Healthy Again, which is meant to be ironic ultimately, and RFK Jr.
Dannagal YoungGUEST
This is something that I've been grappling with even more recently in the...
Dannagal YoungGUEST
You know, the book came out last year, but I feel like this piece is so relevant right now.
Dannagal YoungGUEST
What is the appeal of MAHA? What is the appeal of RFK Jr.? The answer is kinda simple.
Dannagal YoungGUEST
You don't need to rely on, like, controlled trials and meta-analyses conducted by people who have dedicated their life to this study, that you as a human can trust your own experiences, your own intuition, and your own observations of the world to make yourself healthy.How attractive is that, Molly? I love that.
