We are not faced currently in America or the West. Okay, you could say like we have proxy global conflicts going on, but part of those to one side. We don't suffer currently a external threat militarily or ideologically, which is going to crush us, right? It's not like communism.

Of course, what Ayn Rand was writing, and I've read pretty much every book Ayn Rand wrote, but she wrote extensively about communism, and that was the threat at the time. And so economically, I agree with a lot of her analysis. She is right on the money, economically, there's no doubt about it. But the sad part about what she does is that she also throws into the same diagnosis, religion.

And so if you read out of Shrugged, you will, even though she doesn't, and I'm sure there'll be someone who'll fact check me on this and say, well, on page 572, she does. But, you know, she, I don't recall within the book, she doesn't actually name the church or name religion. Sort of paints a board. She calls it superstition, right? Yeah. Because her principal motivation is the I, right?

And that is, she's talking about the I and how I should come first. She basically... promotes the theory of selfish motivation. And from an economic perspective, the West has fallen so far from that where we're leeching from people, we take from people who create things, we destroy wealth, we are intent on making misery, right?

Our governments are determined on taxing and suppressing the creation of wealth. And from that perspective, I would agree with her, but I would not... say that I would not align myself with, I would definitely not at the age of 34 align myself now with where I believed that I was when I was like 22, right? I read the book in three weeks.

Gosh, that's a really good question. I would probably have to think about that.

No, Pope Benedict XVI. I read a daily reader from those two guys, the Pope and C.S. Lewis. I do read a daily reader from those two because they are treasures of wisdom. Now, do they have a specific book? Like C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity, obviously, which has seemed to undergo quite a popular resurgence. Russell Brand, for example, our Cupid in our story.
