A friend of mine, I was talking about this too.
She was saying to me, what's your platform?
What are you using that for?
And I think if you can use it for good like that, maybe people will listen to you more and you can use that for good.
It's not like you're telling people, hey, make sure you take this pink Himalayan salt.
Yeah, exactly.
Make sure you take that pink Himalayan salt and you're not giving them...
the information that's not true or evidence-based.
So the same thing, like if I can, anybody with fame, if they can use that message to help people, great.
But if you're being a huckster, shame on you, let's not do that.
Yeah, I really liked aspects of Good Will Hunting.
I think there was some stuff that was done very, very well.
What specifically?
I think that showing a patient, first of all, Will Hunting's character came from a severely traumatic background.
Seeing his hesitation to connect with people and seeing how Sean McGuire, Robin Williams' character, helped him figure that out over time was really cool.
That is what is supposed to happen is you recognize how you might be doing the same thing again and again and pushing people away.
Then you realize why you're doing it and maybe you don't have to do it.
So I really liked that.
What I found very interesting, and you might know this being a fan of the movie, is Robin Williams improvised a few things, more than a few things in that movie.
The famous, my wife woke the dog up with a fart in the middle of the night was improvised by him.
