Marc made the statement, "I think we are actually wired in some way, both wired and reinforced to go right to blame, to go right to what is it about the other, instead of looking at the way in which to some degree we are always creating our own reality, our own worlds, we're generating our own emotions."

Matthew referenced lockdown time in 2020, "By being isolated, everybody's voice was liquid courage through the internet, and everybody was voicing their opinions. And then of course, then you find out that there's so much satire, so much misinformation and all the conversations, and that really led to a huge division of an us versus them."

He went on to say. "Like someone saying, this is our planet and that is your planet. Well, you're gonna be part of my planet or get off my planet. Well, that doesn't work when we're actually all on the same planet does it?"
