Yeah.
What are you hearing out there about spirituality?
- There is a sense that everybody feels this divide and talks about this divide that we like.
Now we're sort of like, it's the cool thing to talk about how divided we are.
Yeah.
And it's making everybody sort of like focus on the divide in a way that maybe we wouldn't if we weren't always talking about it.
