I think that there's a significant chance that a lot of people in Silicon Valley will view this as, you know, decel nonsense, do more nonsense, which, as you said, it isn't.
But I hope they take the folks seriously.
So Leo XIV was named after his... He took the name, his own name, after his predecessor, Leo XIII, who in 1891 wrote what was called Rero in the Barrow.
If you're not a Latin expert, that means on new things.
And...
Leo XIII, a lot of people in the West credit him for the intellectual force behind labor unions, the intellectual force behind a 40-hour work week and weekends, etc.
I think that that is a good indicator of what Leo XIV wants as well.
The word leisure is sometimes, I think, derided in a capitalist society.
But in Catholicism, it's a great thing.
We rest on Sundays.
Jews rest on Friday, Shabbat, the Sabbath.
There's something about being able to limit the time of work, expanding the time of recreation, of spending time with your family and loved ones.
Remember the word recreation.
Its root is recreate.
That's actually the mission of
if you will, of the Catholic Church, of Christianity, is to recreate.
That's what Christ does in Christianity when He rises from the dead.
We're looking for more moments of recreation.
So, I think the Catholic dream would be, you know, to honor the 40-hour work week, and perhaps maybe a little less, I don't think that's possible, but to honor the 40-hour work week as sacred, to honor leisure and
as sacred to ensure that people only have to work one job to provide for themselves and their families.
