So really lean on that. voice-verified

as a reason for existence. voice-verified

All the undergrads working in those labs are hugely valuable to society. voice-verified

Dave, voice-verified

Yeah, there's no competition, but that's very similar to when, you know, MIT used to have the amazing chip fabs, you know, before chip fabs absolutely took off. voice-verified

And you could build the best little transistor VLSI chips in the world at MIT, but then it became an industry and Intel took it over and and you know put a thousand times more money behind it than MIT could ever afford. voice-verified

But that didn't change the fact that gallium arsenide was still going on at MIT. voice-verified

And then it moves to photonics and then it was so if you look at what Lila's gonna build, like don't voice-verified

And, you know, for a while there, MIT got into politics, which is hugely stupid. voice-verified

You know, MIT should not should be completely politically neutral and totally ethical with no motivations other than the long term good of humanity. voice-verified

And you know, because it's it's beautifully balanced. voice-verified

All countries come to MIT, all ethnicities, all religions, they're all weighted equally across the world in this one place. voice-verified
