And, you know, this is the time, you know, where you run the seam between the scholars who would be indecipherable and the influencers who have all the audience in the world, but they don't do the science. You run the seam between them. Why? Because you're connecting the best ideas to the people who can use them. That's a big deal. That's a huge service.

I think I've probably had a lot of caffeine already today, which is good. Good, good.

I know a lot. So... I have anecdotal information about that. I mean, I've got data on how much more people know than they did before because of the new ways of learning, for sure. There's a ton of research on this. But also, you know, it's very interesting to me. So two of my kids went to college and one didn't. And, you know, my older son went to Princeton.

My younger daughter is graduating from Providence College, a nice northeastern college. My middle son didn't go to college. He joined the Marine Corps. And he's a sniper with the Marine Corps. He's a Marine sniper. Like, he's a total maniac, right? Six foot five. He looks like me, but six foot five, a lot of tats and hair. Oh, I was going to say, has he got the hair or lack of it?

Yeah, well, he's going to lose his hair, too, because, you know, he's a figure in the universe every bit as much as I did in my, you know, misbegotten youth. And so, this is Carlos. And Carlos' friends in the Marine Corps, none of them went to college. And they were all tough guys. And they were all diagnosed with ADHD as kids. All of them, right?

But what ADHD kids all have in common is not that they can't concentrate. It's just that they have a difficult time concentrating on things that they find boring and incredibly easy to focus for long periods of time on what they find interesting. So my son can sit in a bush in a desert and behind the scope of a rifle for four straight hours with a tarantula on his arm. No problem, right?

But put a book in front of him, it's a problem. So these methods of learning for my son and his friends have been miraculous for increasing the base of knowledge that they possess. Because this is how they learn. They learn from conversations between other people. They learn verbally. Their auditory learning is superior, absolutely. They just don't like reading books, right?
