And let me tell you, can I tell you a Warren Buffett story?

Yeah.

I mean, this is talking a little bit out of school, but I never met him.

I know he was really irritated with me, and then I actually looked back at that.

It's the only time I've ever looked back at a piece I wrote, and I thought, I overdid that.

I went right back to The New Republic and wrote another 5,000-word thing about Warren Buffett, in which I basically apologized for the first piece.

I bought these shares in 2008.

When I was working on Going Infinite, I was working on the Sam Bankman Freed book, and I was talking to...

a publicist, completely unrelated to Warren Buffett.

And she said, you know, I also represent Warren.

And she said, and I told Warren that I'd been talking to you.

And he said, he has a question for you.

And I said, what?

She says, is he the Michael Lewis who bought shares back in the...

No, no, no.

Yeah, I swear to God.

I swear to God.

So this tells you something about Warren Buffett, more about Warren Buffett than me.

And he said he bought it like, the book value to, you know, that thing, that ratio, he bought it as cheap as it's ever been.

And he says, he says, but he... You made the best trade in your work.
