Then, oh my God, the internet is a fraud, nine, ten years, death, and then here we go again.

Mobile, there wasn't a 10-year gap.

There was a two to three or four-year gap between the head fake and reality.

And I think AI is gonna give us even

A smaller head fake.

So I think the opportunity in front of us is huge.

So you have a proclivity to lean in by the money.

And the fact that we know each wave

is bigger, is is quicker and quicker and bigger and bigger.

And so I think we're in for quite a show actually.

And the trick is to pick them though, right?

Because if you invest in everything, you're gonna get nailed.

And so like everything else, it's a pick 'em business.

And we do know that if it pick them right, chances are it doesn't matter which round you came in.

But I'd also urge or your

listeners to think about our all the dead FMV, all the dead companies that exist.

Think about the thousands of companies that have revenue run rates 30 million grown to 33 million who are being carried on their books maybe at 120 million value and they're really worth nothing.

so as you think about leaning in and doing something silly like some venture investor did four, five, three, four years ago, I won't name any names, who who had a who had a theme investing in everything, you're gonna get nailed.

And so there there's all these great forces.

Uh, and the trick is just just being the right one.
