We cut off the standing O. That was a long, long standing O. It was as long as I was at TED this year, Scott.

An amazing talk, honestly.

I want to ask you a bit about almost just the actual, your style of speaking, because I think it's remarkable.

But I'm going to start here.

This thing's been seen by five plus million people around the world already and growing.

It's the biggest single hit coming out of the last TED.

I'm curious what feedback you've had from it.

I mean, you laid out some pretty savage criticisms of a lot of people there.

Have some of them come back hard at you?

Have you mainly been amplified and cheered on?

And give us a sense of the feedback on this.

Well, that's nice to hear.

We definitely, though, don't want people to hold back.

And I know that in the comments there are some people who've pushed back on specific aspects of the talk.

But which of the various...

proposals and things that we could actually do about this problem, do you think have most chance of actually moving forward?

Because, I mean, it's so wide ranging.

You know, it's like it's very hard for young people to get to college now, hard to get a house.

And and then, you know, all the way up to Social Security and so forth.

Where do you think there's most traction, Scott, something that might actually shift?
