And then you just look at you look at these risks and you just say to yourself, how much capital do I have to put in play before I can retire those risks? And if that is an exposure you can tolerate, go ahead. If it's not, you just say no. And I think it's important to do that as early as possible because. You know, we're all going to die one day. You probably have enough time.

This is a Topherism, folks. This is how he speaks in the real world. Yeah, we're all going to die one day. You probably, if you're an entrepreneur, have enough time to work on, as an operator, three companies. If you start at my age, right, I'm 40.

So if each one is going to take me 10 years and I might have to raise $100 million per each one, I cannot afford to waste your money or my time on a bad idea. So it's a service to the whole world to kill the bad ideas early and to avoid the risk that is not worthwhile. How do you kill an idea? That's so much easier with an example. I'll give you one. Someone reached out to me recently and said,

They were talking to a startup that was very interested in and had good proof of concept for head transplants. Head? Head transplants. Wow. And for me, knowing what I know about transplant medicine in general... I thought that that was quite a big lift.

And knowing that we have never figured out how to heal the central nervous system without glial scar blocking all communication, I thought that there was no way a head was going to get transplanted and control a body. And there were so many technological marvels that would have to be co-realized for that to work that that seemed like it just really wasn't in play.

Well, I would say that, you know, there's a couple of like magical phrases that people say to you. And if you can hold them in your head, I make fewer mistakes. One of them is when you are involved in a company, especially if you're an inventor, you tend to fall in love with the solution you came up with.
