Well, I don't have a new news item because this one is so important.
But I think I want to comment on how the glasses thing just so clearly demonstrates the difference between if you're in the bubble or you're out of the bubble.
The cost of that technology is so high, not in, you know, well, eventually in financial, but in giving up our security and our privacy.
That is a tremendous cost.
We are we are saying yes to a surveillance state, in my opinion.
Like maybe that's a little extreme, but we are saying we're going to do we're going to set everything up so that should our government decide that or anyone decide that they want to track our comings and goings even more than they already do.
Boom, done.
Like that's we're we're serving it up to them on a silver platter.
I would anticipate that there will be like fights on the street, you know, when somebody realizes that somebody else is wearing the glasses and recording them.
I, the, the people who hate it, hate it so much that I just think it's a great, it's a, it's a good example of how we inside the bubble have to like channel our inner,
critics because it's such a big deal to give that content away to anybody other than our own little brains where it stays mostly inside.
I think it's kind of scary.
I'm with you, Brian, absolutely on like the use case of not just, you know, I lost my keys again, but my mom had early onset Alzheimer's disease.
And so all of the opportunities to
assist a family member going through anything like that is like chef's kiss.
I can't even tell you the impact that that would have had on our lives as a family, but also the caregivers.
You could see this in the, you know, in the long-term care industry.
application working really fabulously.
But the capture of like women and children on those with those glasses, I think you think about, you always have to think about like the most vulnerable people who could be harmed by it.
And I would imagine that having more content with kids in it is just, I don't know.
