Because that...

that muddies the dynamic of what is happening here.

You know, again, it has to be so clear what is the purpose of this conversation and what are we trying to achieve, and staying within that boundary is really important.

Yeah, see, this is the question, I think.

We haven't done a great job of innovating, I think, in psychotherapy.

Forgive me.

Some of my best friends are clinical psychologists, but we're not doing a great job.

Since founding the company, things are much, much worse now.

And it's interesting seeing all of this incredible innovation and technological advancement.

And you know where we haven't moved the needle at all?

we are still as anxious and depressed as ever.

And in fact, a recent World Health Organization survey or study found that 20 percent of high schoolers have seriously considered suicide.

This is getting so much worse, so something needs to change, and I think we need to expand the aperture and bring in tools, additional tools.

It's never about replacing the great human therapists that we have, but most people aren't getting in front of a therapist.

And even if they are, they're not there beside you as you live your life.

Yeah.

As you were saying that, I was imagining my own family.

I'm the youngest of six, and just thinking, I had that laptop flying through the window so fast.

Yeah, like, again, this is a tool set, I believe.

And, you know, we can build tools, we can use the tools in certain ways.
