And so I think that's kind of the beauty of the world is that the knowledge base continues to grow, the facts continue to change, and what's possible tomorrow continues to become different.

And so as humans, we have to continue to thrive, to learn, and to grow, and to connect.

And if we do that, everything's possible.

Thank you.

And Lex, if I could say just one final thing, which is that my thoughts and prayers are really with all of the people in Israel and the innocent civilians as well from the Palestinian side.

And my prayers are with the IDF soldiers that they should be safe and they should be really watched by God to accomplish whatever mission will enable to make the world a safer place.

If I look back on the different negotiations I had when I was in government, either with leaders of countries, with representatives of leaders, or even with members of Congress to pass legislation, the most important thing I would draw back to would be trust.

I think getting to know each other, understanding what was motivating the other party to get to the outcome, and making them feel like you weren't going to use whatever information they gave you to benefit yourself at the expense of them is probably what I would call table stakes to have a shot at accomplishing anything that was hard in negotiation.

After that, I would say taking maybe a first principles approach to what the outcome of whatever problem you're looking to solve should be.

Now, you have different kinds of negotiations.

I always try to create a framework in the negotiation where...

It wasn't me against you.

It was always, let's agree on what the outcome is that we're trying to accomplish.

Let's all sit on the same side of the table and say, we want to get to this outcome.

How do we get there?

Really trying to create a roadmap.

And so once you understand the destination you want to get to, the endpoint,

then you'd have to work backwards and really try to put yourself in their shoes and try to understand what were their motivations macro.

Most of the time, you have to assume that a leader's primary objective was to stay in power.

And so all decisions made would be made through the framework of what it would take to do that and how it would impact their ability to do that.
