opposite is valued. And that was actually already embedded in the Soviet educational system, where nobody asks you what you thought. You were just meant to power it back Soviet dogma, whether you believed in it or not. So that was already there in the Soviet system, but it's kind of multiplied. And if anything, and what I try to get to in the book is what they would say that all your beliefs in the West are bullshit, what I would always hear from, and there are kind of elite because, you know, people who work in media, create media are sort of elites, was that you don't understand, Peter, they would tell me, all that stuff about human rights, all your stuff about a liberal world order that you've grown up with, it's bullshit. Your elites don't believe in it either. It reminds us of the Soviet Union, where they would parrot these things, but no one believed in it. And actually, below all this are just games, manipulation, and the same kind of, I think I call it culture as zero gravity (34/57)
