So it's the opposite motion.

And so for me, I was like, well, I don't want to split the culture that way.

Like, I think that's, you know, not going to be a good idea.

And then the other thing is, like, I don't want to do that with my life.

Like, I have the opportunity to fund, like, the greatest new ideas that are going to push humanity forward.

I don't want to, like...

you know, leverage buyout, seize candy, and fire all the old ladies who work there.

Like, I'm not doing that with my life.

I'm like, fuck that.

You know, like, go to another VC if you want to do that stupid shit.

Or like that.

Like, I mean, it's not stupid.

I think it's a good business, but it's not a business for me.

Yeah, you don't have to be in every business just because there's money there.

You know, look, I believe in, like, you build a company to kind of do something larger than yourself and make the world a better place.

And then if you do that, you will make money.

But if you are in business just for making money, like, that's not for me.

Like, there are a lot of people who think that way, and I'll let them do that.

But, like, I think that great companies don't think like that.

To me, like companies that you would want to be part of, that I would want to be part of, don't work that way.
