I think there's Save the Children, and there's one to reduce gun violence, and there's one to support people in Ukraine. There is one to support other charities that do effective work like in Africa. People have a variety of options. And then part of why we're having people pay $20 is then if they're ambivalent about showing up on the first day, they can think, well, I've already paid $20.

I might as well show up since I paid for it. So we want people to actually show up if they've reserved a spot. So that's part of why we do it. But we like to think that $20 is a pretty affordable rate for getting something like 16 plus hours of hopefully fantastic content. That's more than a dollar an hour. We can be pretty pricey here in Palo Alto. Sometimes we're up to $2 an hour.

We're hoping that we're going to be offering like $10,000 to $20,000 worth of experience to every single person. So that's what we're aiming for.

For some people, I hope they get a million or even $10 million worth of value out of it.

Then I would say, I don't even know what that means. I don't even understand the premise. What does that mean that you're not good enough? As you yourself, David, have said, well, if you're not good enough, does that mean that they won't serve you a coffee at Starbucks? Or does that mean they won't let you get on the bus? What does it mean if you're not good enough? What happens?

I love that, David. Go ahead, Rhonda.

I want to say one more quick thing because David inspired me to talk about this, but at the risk of getting a little political, I would argue that the vast majority of violence in the world is

comes down to people seeing people as other or different than they are and somehow inferior subhuman and worthy of being treated poorly or even violently yeah i think that's horrible and i think that's the source of much suffering that exists on the planet and if instead i'm not saying this would be easy i think this would be very difficult if each of us individually

we're willing to, there's a motivational factor, but if we were willing to and able to learn how to see other people as ultimately very similar to us and worthy of love and respect and fundamentally very similar to ourselves, then it would feel absurd to go out and want to murder someone because that would be horrible.
