And the other thing is, let me tell you my other thing. As it should have been. My big thing is going to be, I'm going to take humanity, and when I look at the history of mathematics, so here's the thing, right? The big bottleneck for people getting into STEM is math, right? When people go to college, they ask themselves three questions when they choose their major. What do I like?

How much math is it? How much money can I make doing it? And what has the least amount of math, right? And so what needs to happen is, so when I look at the, I look at it historically, and I look at it in four phases. There's an early phase, let's forget that. Here's how I named them. The Library of Alexandria,

That's when you have, you know, Euclid, you got the Pythagorean theorem, all that exists. You got basic geometry. Then you go to Nalanda or the city of learning. This is Aryabhata, Brahmagupta, the Gupta dynasty, right? Where they come up with the place value system, the numerals that become Arabic numerals, zero. Because they're really Hindu numerals.

And the zero comes out of there, too. Exactly, right? And then the third step is the house of wisdom, right? This is where you get quadrismy, solving equations, the stuff we do in STEM every day. And then you go to Cambridge, all right? So I, right now, the average... Newton. Right now, Cambridge, England.

The average human on Earth, if you stop them and ask them any math question, they got the first two steps covered. We need to raise humanity to the house of wisdom. Which is arithmetic and a little bit of algebra.

But here's what I mean. If you go up to the average person, you say, hey, what's two dogs plus three dogs? They'll say five dogs. What's two galaxies plus three galaxies? Five galaxies. What's 2x squared y cubed z plus 3x squared y cubed z? Get out of my face, nerd. Yeah. It's the same problem, but they don't realize it because we haven't learned it.

So anyway, I want to raise the level of humanity. I have an HP. Join us.

I got a Klepshydra and a star. What is that thing? Sundial. There you go. Boy, I got a stone circle. Oh, nice.

First time I've touched you in 20 years. That sounds a little creepy.
