I remember when I was in high school, I went to a summer program, like a pre-college prep type of summer program. And a professor came in and he was a math professor. And I remember it seemed like the most amazing thing in the world. He just started rattling off formulas, right? He would be like, yeah, I do math. So I know that sine squared of X plus a cosine squared of X equals one.

I know that sine theta divided by cosine theta equals tangent theta. Like he rattled off all these. And you know, we're 15. We're like, whoa, wow, this is so amazing. And I remember I told my mama about this guy. And my mom was a college professor, for those of you who don't know. And she just rolled her eyes.

She had been so sick of this man forever with these tricks that he was doing, rattling off these 10th grade level equations, right? She had been so sick of that for the longest, but he was capable of what you're describing, is the presentation is smart that goes away when people ask a few questions. And one thing about the way this internet stuff works is,
