"If anyone had the power to reliably get thousands of people like upset and to be able to use that and work it, you wouldn't become a philosophy professor at that power" He adds: "They're having a reaction, having an emotional reaction. And the thing they're not seeing is how much their reaction is conditioned on the reaction that other people are having"
