So what are all the associations?

I've done something that is potentially unhygienic or is unhygienic, whatever, that's potentially dangerous.

So what are the associations that you have with dirt?

And they're like, I associate dirt with like

poverty, and I assert dirt with death, and, you know, all of these other things, and then you start fleshing out.

So when you said that, like, this was a dirty thing to do, all of a sudden, you were conjuring things like death and poverty, and they had a bunch of sort of associations with that word.

And for me, that was that's gold, because then all of a sudden,

You know, they're starting to see it triggers lots of different things, clean, dirty, polluted, you know, not polluted, sacred, profane.

All of these concepts get lumped in.

So it's a really, really loaded kind of idea.

And so looking at, you know, evil in this way is it's kind of fun.

I'm not a historian of genocide.

It's kind of fun to do that.

And I have to say, I stopped eating potato chip off the floor.

Well, I was thinking like if I poured a cup of coffee onto the floor and then slurped that up, but that was like, there's no way I'm going to do that because like that just triggers everything in me, right?

Like I rationalized it really well.

The potato chip is like, it's bent.

So only a little fraction of the potato chip is going to touch the floor.

Like, so I fell into my own theory, right?

I freaked myself out, but they cleaned up the lecture hall with asbestos one day.
