Yes.

I think the Internet is upstream of everything.

And why?

I think the reason I gave all those graphs is to show that it's not like many people just focus on one disruption.

But in physics, for example, you have to have a force diagram.

For example, if you throw a ball like or let's say there's a rocket, right?

Gravity is acting downward on it, but the rocket engine is acting upward on it.

And you have to take the balance of this upward force and this downward force.

And then you get the trajectory of the thing.

And if the rocket engine is changing, it's, you know, like the the.

If the force that it is applying is itself changing, you have to calculate all this stuff out.

Right.

So it's not simply enough to look at one force in isolation.

You have to look at what's called the force diagram.

OK, so what I do is I enumerate as many of these things as I can on individuals, on businesses, on on countries, on sectors.

And I try to say, where is like the net state of this going to be?

OK, so let me give the upstream and then let me give it.

You're probably going to have to explain what you mean by the net state of it.

Sure, sure, sure.

So let me give a concrete example.
