And the other thing is, I think this is the time for students in college figuring out who they are. Their minds are developing and growing. They can really handle complicated, hard ideas. They don't always have the context behind them. So I need to give them the hard ideas and then show them this is kind of the context of what's happening in the world. But really, I'm just...

I mean, even though I think the passion is important for the teaching of the ideas, like dispassion is more important for the reading and understanding of them. So a lot of people have said to me, like, I could never write about Ayn Rand. Like, she makes me so angry. You know, and I've never become – I don't get angry reading her.

You know, or like, well, that's going to cause trouble. You know, and so – I guess I'm approaching it with a sort of charity, but also with, I'm not, I don't have huge expectations. I'm not expecting to have the light shine on me. I'm not expecting to agree. I'm like, I can be very clinical about it. So that's what's worked for me.
