Right. So Bob Taylor is an enormous inspiration to me personally in terms of the way he got people to take on really hard problems, I think is really inspirational. And I can definitely understand the Bob Taylor perspective of this, of like, look, I mean, yeah, we're pretty crazy, but we're not that crazy. Right. you're kind of two hills further ahead of us in a way that is like really tough.

But I, and I also just love this kind of the fact that Alvy Ray Smith really wanted to make sure that like your dad got the credit. He was due that this was, it was not about like stealing the work of someone else or, or, I mean, I just, I think it's really, and I mean, when I say like, I mean, that is just, it is a great Silicon Valley story in terms of a very inspiring story.

I mean, he's like, I'm not worried about, like, I'm not taking anything away from myself by sharing, by giving credit where it's due. Like, yeah, I've got total self-confidence, basically. I also feel like that there's something really about the fact that You know, there at the moment, right? Like, I know what the before times were like.

I know what the after, like, I was there when this was created. This is not, and I think one of the challenges that we've got in Silicon Valley, and maybe this has been true at different times in Silicon Valley's history. But this idea of – and you see people who have inherited wealth who pretend that they built it themselves.

But this idea of – and you see people who have inherited wealth who pretend that they built it themselves.

It's like, well, everyone should – it's like, well, you didn't build the stuff that you're talking about. And when you say Silicon Valley built the modern world, why shouldn't we run it? It's like – Who are you? Right, right, right. Is that Bob Taylor saying this? Sorry, is this Bob Noyce? Are you Gordon Moore? Sorry, you didn't build any of this stuff. You inherited it, pal. That's 100% true.

This is daddy's money. I get it. On the one hand, I want to allow people their own search for meaning. Come on. I feel that We all have a challenge of when we've got these great contributions that come before us, and how do we get inspired by those and build the next thing while still understanding how fortunate we are for that kind of ancestry that solved all these hard problems.

Oh, you know, when also like on the one hand, it is kind of like, okay, no more layers, please. Like I need, I need, cause the other thing that we've discovered in a course in oxide is then like you, you get down to enough layers and then the world goes analog again. You're like, what is this? It's like, oh yeah, sorry, digital's a lie. What do you mean digital's a lie?

It's like, no, no, that's what you saw for people need digital. So we've created, but it's actually, this is an analog system. You're like, that is extremely unfortunate. So yeah, the layers never stop. There is an infinity of layers.
