And some of these people are members of an organization called CIFAR, the Center for Applied Rationality, which is a nonprofit founded to help people get better at pursuing their goals. It's a self-help company, right? It runs self-help seminars. This is the same as like a Tony Robbins thing, right?

So Ziz goes to this event and she has a long conversation with several members of CIFAR who I think are clearly kind of... My interpretation of this is that they're trying to groom her to get a new... Because they think, yeah, this chick's clearly brilliant. She'll find her way in the industry and we want her money, right? Maybe we want her to do some free work for us too, but let's...
