Don't just listen to the white pod boys. It's actually pretty good advice. Yeah, I mean, I'm not saying this to praise Fetterman's politics because he said some things that I, like, truly, really, actually, like, upset me. Some of the stuff that he's talked about Gaza, particularly just from, like, a human empathetic level, not independent of, like, his politics of who he supports.

But, yeah, he definitely is pretty good at getting attention in his own strange way. And he is definitely not predictable, like, to the point where, like, when he voted against Hegseth, I was like, okay...

Yeah, I think that's right. And again, I think that's just because when they're in that interview, they're not thinking about how do I keep people's attention? They're thinking about how do I not screw up and make news? I mean, again, that's that is that's the key part of the orientation here.

The broad thesis is that we live in an age, you know, if the defining resource of the industrial age was fossil fuels, and if you look at 1961 of the top 10 companies by, you know, assets, it was like oil companies and like DuPont and General Motors, right?

It's definitely Apple, which, of course, inaugurated the attention age with the birth of the iPhone in 2007. It's the guys on stage next to Donald Trump. And there's a few important things I think to say here. One is it's already intuitive that we have this like break between the old industrial economy and the new digital like information economy.
