I've seen would get confused by is where he would say that people need to be forced to be free, basically, is what is one of the things that he said. And it doesn't make a lot of sense if you're talking about political liberty or something. But I definitely think about it when it's when you have all of these addictive things pervading society.

And it gets to the question of, okay, yes, it is literally a choice to do sports gambling on one of those apps. It's a choice to use social media. It's a choice, for that matter, to use any actual drugs. But when these things can be designed to be as addictive as they are, and when there's so many of these things...

At least if we don't ban it outright, make it harder for your average ordinary person to get tracked down a path that we find undesirable.

But my impulse and I think the impulse of everyone on this program would be that would be a suboptimal outcome. And we probably want to try to create a society where that is a discouraged outcome, even if we don't ban it outright. And, you know, maybe that is something we'd want to talk about.

Right. They actually rushed out of the courthouse fairly quickly. I was not able to get a view of that particular instance. And they did not give any sort of press after the verdict either. One thing to keep in mind is that there is still a civil suit looming. And if you remember the Bernard Goetz case, there was a major civil suit afterwards, tens of millions in liability.
