He is not saying there are no good guys or bad guys. He is saying that when we're told of good guys or bad guys, they are usually characters in a narrative. But he does not go so far as to say good guys and bad guys don't exist. M

The "don't take the lift" suggestion in the screenshot is excellent. This presents a daily challenge that you can feel proud of tracking. However, I think that this is only because it is reducible to a positive item that woul
