And how much is enough is a really hard question to answer in late-stage capitalism as well. I mean, and there's an honest answer to that, because when boomers get upset of Gen Xers for, I bought a house for it. And wages have stagnated, and housing prices have not, and the cost of living is crazy, and we have no medical security. There's not a good social net.

So I think it's also fair to point out that things have become less fair. And the idea of doing honest work for decent pay and feeling secure is much more difficult. And to have any sense of security in this economy with what the vast majority of people have the potential to earn is really difficult.

But then I look at, I don't know, I spent a while, a few months during the first of many midlife crises. This was a much earlier one. But I was in East Berlin for a while, in Friedrichshain for a few months. And it was the first time my first wife broke up. And so I was, it all came to pass when we were like traveling with the family. She went back and I was alone in Germany. Former East Berlin.

It was a wonderful time to just feel dark. It was a great place for angst, right? But there were also so many people there. There's this whole circus community there, and you would walk around and see these... Street jugglers at intersections, and there were people's, there's Zirkus Zack, it was called, which is a place called the Loud Temple.

It used to be, it was an East German train station that got squatted and turned into an arts complex. And there was a people's circus. There were pottery, there was pottery dance classes for kids. I mean, just this amazing squatters art complex and as close to the ground as you can get. And I remember having conversations and I would say, so what do you do?

And people would give me this disgusted look like, oh, you mean my job? Like, I have four jobs, but I'm a clown. I'm a juggler. I'm an artist. I'm a dancer. I'm a writer. And they would talk like the way they earned their money was in no way related to who they were as an individual. And the idea that you would even assume that they were in some... rarefied company. It was an insult, actually.

And who am I? What am I? I am my community. I am the art I make. I am the thing I practice that brings me joy that I do for no pay. And it was kind of a revelation to me as someone you know, growing up in Santa Barbara as well, where there's a lot of people who you ask what they do and they tell you their job, which is also a reflection of what they are.
