But we did do the right thing in terms of, you know, now every country in the world that was selling leaded gas has taken it off the market.

Right.

So that was a good thing.

Yeah, sure.

We made some progress.

You know, again, this guy's graphs that he published show this.

Who's this guy again?

Rick Nevin.

He wrote this book called Lucifer Curves, which contain all these different graphs that show this.

And what he has shown is that there's one of them in my book that he let me reproduce.

You know, the violent crime rate goes up and up in the 70s and 80s.

And then when they remove the leaded gas, the crime rate falls off a cliff.

Yeah.

It's wild.

And it's the same thing with serial killers.

The number of serial killers in the 70s and 80s and 90s goes up to the highest that we've seen, you know, about 700 operating in this country during that period.

And then it just drops off.

And that's why they call that the golden age of serial killers.

And now it's like, you know, 50 to 100.

So I think there always have been serial killers throughout history.
