comprise a human life and make life worth living for a human being and that indeed sustain a person in life.

And having Lamborghinis is sort of not one of them.

I mean you gotta have a way to get around and a Lamborghini could have some aesthetic value.

So I'm not saying, you know, don't buy one if you're in a position to be able to and you find you really love that car.

But you know, your eighteenth probably is very minor marginal value in your life, even your second and even your first.

Whereas having relationships with people where they can trust you and you trust them, where they can know the real story of how you got what you got and not feel like you're a threat to them.

I think is much more valuable than, you know, another fancy car, or even a first fancy car.

And moreover,

I don't think it's an accident that thieves are people who are living outside the law.

It's not just and that living outside the law is dangerous.

And it's not true that people typically get away with stealing all these, you know, all this money for all this time.

And when they do get away with it I think they, you know, know in some way that their lives are perilous.

I think Thomas Hobbes' theory of

uh well being is too crude.

I don't think it's right.

Hobbes thinks basically

is a subjectivist about well-being and he thinks he doesn't use these terms, but whatever you want is good for you.

It's in your self-interest.

I think that's not true.
