The ingratiation, I think, is important.

But also, I think that the tech industry has done a really good job over the years of convincing us that everything gets better and better and better, even though it doesn't.

Even though a lot of Google search has got worse.

Facebook's got worse.

Twitter's got worse.

Honestly, I argue many parts of Blue Sky have got worse.

It's less reliable, at least.

The experience of using the computer has got worse.

We've hit a wall with innovation in general.

But this thing, because it can kind of resemble anything if you want it to, I think touches something dark in some people.

Not evil, but just like something very vulnerable and kind of weak and kind of gullible where they say, well, if I'm getting this out of this, then I'm part of the future.

And I need someone to be impressed by this.

This is now a part of my identity.

And I think that that might also be the differentiator here as well.

Sure, you had forum wars about gaming consoles.

I'm sure you have Android versus iOS, whatever.

Not like this.

Nothing like this.

And I think that it touches something in people.

How's it going, boys?
