I don't think life's too short and there's only so much energy in a day.
And so you can't do this for a thousand people, but you can do it for 10 or 15, follow Dunbar's number or something.
You can probably do it for 15.
And that is my prized possession.
That list of people for whom I would do anything.
is my prized possession.
And I think that that can probably be true for just about anybody.
And so I try, hope to act in a certain way to deserve that group of people.
And even if they don't feel the same way about me, that's okay.
If I'm in their list of 50 and I'm 50 and it's fine.
Yeah, I think that role game is quite fun, because I think it pulls out of you like where you have the most energy.
One is they're related.
So I'll tell them in order.
The first was I had a cousin.
I come from an Irish Catholic family where when you go to the family reunion, you get a sheet that looks like one of those maps from the 90s where you just have to like keep unfolding it because there's just so goddamn many people.
And so I have cousins who are technically my like third or fourth cousins that feel in my family more like a first cousin.
One of my third cousins was a guy named Tim O'Shaughnessy.
And I was a bad student in high school.
I was a very good student as a young kid.
I went to this giant high school in Connecticut, like 4,000 students.
