And one thing that you notice is like, I'm kind of like oblivious to what's going on online. Like I'm just reading books and talking to podcasters and entrepreneurs.

And I was struck and kind of shocked because I saw a headline where there was a bunch of protesters that set up a guillotine outside of Jeff Bezos' Washington, D.C. house.

And this talentless hack shows up at his house with a guillotine, like, give me your money.
