Wow, okay. They try and leave that nice and vague. They do indeed. I suppose that makes sense, because spies... They're sort of meant to be secret, aren't they? Yeah, that's kind of the idea. It's meant to be a secret. And you have to convince other people, depending on what line of work you're in, you have to convince other people to betray their country.

And the consequences for that are pretty high. I mean, I'm thinking about Robert Hansen, who went and betrayed the United States and gave away all these counterintelligence secrets. I assume somebody like that, who's high placed in the FBI counterintelligence and was responsible for looking for moles and turned out to be a mole, were probably still recovering from that damage.

Ready to take risk. I've met a lot of intelligence officers from various agencies, various countries. Many of them are very unimpressive people in many ways. If you're listening to this, you're watching this, I'm not talking about you. But I meet these people who work for French Foreign Intelligence or they're retired, you know, because otherwise I wouldn't know. German, US, UK.

And I just think, this guy? But it's like, if you really have to turn it on all the time in order for me to think you're not someone who has their head stuck in their butt, that's not a good sign.

The reason that I kind of brought this up, I've spent a bunch of, unfortunately, too much time in Hollywood, right? And when you meet an actor like George Clooney, for example. Yeah. He's so charming all the time. David Duchovny, really cool guy, pretty cool guy all the time. Because if you can act like a really charming cool guy that everyone loves, why on earth would you turn that off?
