So, I mean, if you make an engineer 20 times as productive, and you're paying that engineer, well, if you're Zuck, you're paying that engineer a billion dollars.

But, you know, like if you're paying whatever, it's going to be at least several hundred thousand dollars a year.

That's a hell of a return.

Yeah.

And we have an entrepreneur like that right now building a global VPN by himself.

Yeah.

Well, I mean, I think saying... I just be careful, a little careful with, like, people don't have access.

Okay.

Like, anybody...

with a great idea these days has, like, trust me, you have access in that there's, like, unlimited money for good ideas currently.

You know, maybe that changes over time, but, like, it's definitely there.

And I would just say this.

You know, the world is changing, and you can just think of it as, like, the jobs –

we had before the industrial revolution are all gone.

And we've been kind of living with the post-industrial revolution and then the post-computer age jobs since then.

And we're going to get to like a whole nother class of jobs and a whole nother class of companies over the next 10 years that replace most of what we have now.

And so if you're young, like that's the best thing

possible for your career and for your life because in the opposite scenario where it's all the same companies, then you got to start at the bottom and work 30 years to get yourself to be a mid-level manager and you've got a politic and then the old people who aren't as smart as you get all the money and that sucks.

But in this world, it's the old people who have the challenge because they know how to do the old thing.

They don't know how to do the new thing.
