Yeah. I want to just stop there and say that this is a really important idea for us to understand as parents and people making decisions for our children. And I am really into an era of testing assumptions that if we're just Assuming things and jumping in, that's not the first step. The first step is to test all assumptions.

And when we say sports are good for children, that's kind of like saying religion is good for children. Okay, what kind? Good point. What system? No, religion is not good for children. There are some religions that you can enter your child in that will destroy them and destroy their spirit, and they'll spend the rest of their lives trying to recover from that.

There are some spiritual communities that you could get involved in that might become fertilizer for your kid's soul. Sports are as an empty vessel as religion is, right? Because even when you say exercise is good for kids, I test that assumption. I had a childhood where maybe the way that exercise was presented to me was not at all healthy.

The thing is not inherently good or bad and must be examined. When you say sports build character, everything you're saying sounds correct to me in terms of testing that assumption, because in the current system we have, I see a little bit of the opposite. The kind of cutthroatness you have to be. So many kids are performing because they are being scared into performing.

And so what might look like resilience, what might look like short-term performance is actually fear-based and If we're not testing those assumptions, we might be building the absolute wrong kind of character that we think they are. Correct? Absolutely.

You know, the quick and dirty description of all of this is just like capitalism, like late stage capitalism enters into kids' sports and takes over. And what always happens is that it becomes a bit of a hunger game situation. And it's because it's all based on scarcity.

And in every system like that, whether it's, you know, Hollywood or writing or sports, the way the system continues is they hold up a few examples of, Exceptional people that made it. Abby and I talked about this last night, how she has some guilt about being this. It's a carrot. Okay. So the Oscars.
