Amongst all humans?
If you had to create a stereotype for a good movie character who's like, you know, a James Bond villain or a mega genius, this is how they all start.
The stories all start the same way.
There's no name for the job.
And for context, by the way, he's 50 years old now.
He's 49.
So we're talking late 80s.
I thought you were going to say that he partied hard and hooked up with tons of girls.
This guy's perfect then.
I think that people talk about this, but I don't think it talks about enough.
where I think Tim Dillon's a comedian, where he was like, everyone thinks the president of the United States is most powerful, but there's one person who's never around, you can't see him, but he truly runs everything, and that's Peter Thiel.
And he was saying that at Trump's inauguration, it was like J.D.
Vance, who's a Thiel guy, was all the CEOs, Thiel guy, Thiel guy, Zuck, Thiel guy.
And it was like, Peter Thiel is the guy.
And then I recently read a whole bunch of old quotes from him.
And it's just like everything he says is timeless and has been true so often.
He's like a city, dude.
So a lot of times it starts with, was it Plato or Socrates, where it like, well, Socrates taught Plato, Plato taught Alexander the Great, and also Aristotle.
And it's sort of like there's like this one person that's like the root.
So when you say build, is there actual physical building as well?
