And we now have the capital to put all the things that we wanted to build into the system into place. So translation into multiple languages, that'll be on the table very soon. A radical expansion of the curriculum, We're going to predicate it on, I think, something approximating the Chicago great books tradition.

So we're imagining something like the selection of great books that would characterize a high quality education in the humanities. One course, something like a minimum of one course per great book.

I can't see any reason we can't do that. We have an excellent stable of professors. All of them want to continue working with us. I think that's true without exception so far. And I'm able to make contact with great lecturers all the time and to keep discovering them. That's beautiful. Congratulations. Yeah, fun. It's fantastic.

I've been tweeting out funny ads about being the most progressive university in the world. Well, the progressives hope for universal education at something approximating zero cost. Wow. That's what we've got. It's open to anyone. And no one comes out with debt. So that seems pretty progressive to me. Absolutely.

And I'm very excited about the translation possibilities, because AI systems are getting pretty good at that. So we'll have our lecturers be able to lecture in other languages using their own voice and modify the video so that it appears that they're speaking that language.

So God only knows how many languages we'll be able to translate our material into, you know, as the AI systems develop and it gets cheaper and cheaper. So yeah, exciting. It's exciting. And the essay app, you know, that teaches people to write, it works. It helps people figure out what they want to write about.

We've got 30,000 students and the system seems to be working. So we've got good proof of concept now. Absolutely.

I think I'm doing, in my way, the same thing that Elon Musk said that he was doing when I interviewed him, which is to continue exploring the limits of possibility. That's an adventure, right? To explore the limits of possibility. A lot of times, possibility comes to you as tragedy. That's a good thing to understand. They say every treasure has a dragon, but you can reverse that.
