And I'm going to say I made the best decision anyone could reasonably make knowing what I knew when I made it.

Knowing what I know today, I would make a different decision.

But at the time I made it, it was the best, most rational, intelligent decision that could be made.

So it's not bad on me.

So I still wish it hadn't happened, the bad thing, but I don't feel any guilt, any remorse, which is a lot of what we've read is about.

So those are different ways of sort of making decision, you know, sort of saying, where do you want to go with this?

And then I think, you know, more generally, if you say, well, look, I do care about this.

I don't want it to be complete chance.

Sometimes it might, you know, you might say, I don't know which tie to wear today and which would make me look, you know, more, more, whatever I want to look in this setting, flip a coin.

Then you might say, well, here's an, I'm going to go get surgery or not for this thing.

I think that one I want to think through a little bit.

Should I get a hip replacement?

Should I, whatever it is you want, you know, should I get plastic surgery for cosmetics?

You want to think that through a little bit.

And that's where I think, you know, we sort of want to work your way down to heuristics.

And you mentioned about AI is one great example.

I use AI a lot for myself.

But I use it in a very particular way, which is I use it as an information gatherer and integrator, but I don't trust it completely.

So I use it not in exactly the same way, but not unlike I would use conversations with anybody else I might have.

If I talk to the Uber driver on the way over and I say, what do you think of the best barbecue restaurants in Houston?
