Hey, guys, let's make an airplane out of wood and hang it from a tree and fly, which we did until the rope broke and, you know, it crashed.

But, you know, so there was an alpha social component, which is now critical, but there was also a quiet, creative, and introspective component to it.

And I think it was, if I look at my life now, it's my comfort in both of those zones.

Mm-hmm.

That allows me to do what I do.

Because a lot of people are good writers, they're good creators, good artists, but they don't have the social organizational component to motivate people to do things, you know, and to leverage their creativity.

And so that's a big part of it, that sort of alpha component, if you will.

I never went to university per se.

I went to the Fullerton Junior College, which is part of the junior college system.

I was intensely curious.

It was the first time in my life where I was surrounded by people who actually wanted to be there, as opposed to high school, where people didn't want to be there.

They just had to be there.

And most of them sort of rejected the learning process.

I was always hungry to learn, not necessarily what they were teaching, but lots of new things.

I got to college, and I was surrounded by people who actually wanted to be there.

And wanted to learn.

And there was, people were having arguments about philosophy and English and storytelling and art.

And it was very exciting.

But it was unsustainable for me.

I couldn't afford to do it continuously or endlessly.
