"I'm not gonna lie to my kid bro like man think about okay so when I was talking about like how we live in a traumatic like fucked up culture one of my favorite examples is actually Santa Claus right because think about this man?" he says. "You tell them if you don't do what I say and act good there's this old fat man way far away who's watching you all the time and knows everything you do" He adds that almost everything that people think is true is in its own way a Santa Claus myth. 'It's really a great metaphor for the matrix that we live in the society'
