I don't think I've seen that.

And, uh, a lot of people didn't see it.

It has a lot of stars, like Ben Kingsley in there.

Um, it is, uh, a big sci-fi spectacle about time travel and dinosaurs, and it got its production budget cut right in the middle.

Michael, uh, any closing thoughts you wanna mention before we wrap up here?

I thought, uh, that was a good time.

Um, not, didn't blow me away.

I kind of was, I was maybe hoping for a little bit more.

Oh.

Um, and it's kinda like they've got DMs and stuff, and they've got, like, little games, but none of them are actually interacting in person, and so that's kind of what the new theme of this movie is.

And that it's a very, like people can't draw the line between fact and fiction with this animated series, which I find so wild.

Yeah, but I would say, yeah, this one, I don't think it's gonna be as nostalgic, but like the fifth entry, like what movie is good at number five?

So the blue

sinks.

All your capacity to do anything meaningful.

The green disappears.

Everything just, you've kind of deflated yourself out the other side of it.

So you lose motivation, you lose momentum.

You'll notice people saying things like they get cynical or they get apathy.

And as

They've kind of lost that argument though, haven't they? Yeah, but you know,

they'll kick that can down the road.

So that's, we accept that it's addictive and it's framed as a moral failure if you're on Instagram all the time, right? You know, this is, you hear this all the time, that people are doing it to themselves.

And, you know, you can argue the ins and outs of that.

But the fact that it is so nefarious, it is so built in to every aspect of what we do, means that it's almost impossible to escape from it.

And the way in which content is presented now is really, really fascinating.

And a good example is If you're watching, recently there were some marches in Britain, right wing kind of, is the guy named Tommy Robinson? Tommy, yes.

solution.

... machine.

And l- look, w- everybody loves that statistic.

They only need to know eight things about you or 10 things about you, and they, they understand you.

Say, okay, if they understand me so well, why is every single video I'm presented with not the perfect one that I love? Why not? Because then your...

the behavior would decrease very steadily because there's no unpredictability.

You have to get the bad ones, the ones you're not interested in that you can flick past, and then get the good ones because that creates the unpredictability, and that drives your reinforcement pathways crazy.

That floods your mesolimbic pathways with dopamine.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, it's still

information.

And you're picking up on it.

And what I'm trying to get across in the talks, and I was talking to Daniela about this earlier on, is trying to demystify the science of things like trauma.

And part of that is in our acceptance of the fact that the way we pick up information, the way we think about the world and think about ourselves, is not as logical and as overt and as language-based as we think.

So most of the way in which you... interpret information from the world around you, is non-conscious, non-language based, but extremely powerful.

So you pick up on things from people, the things we used to call gut instinct or intuition or these kinds of things, That's all really valid information that your brain takes in and acts upon without your conscious awareness of it.

That's always going to be there.
