It's not like the movies.

If you were ever on a giant jumbo jet and all the engines went out, do you know what would happen?

Almost nothing.

You would go,

because the wings are doing the work, right?

Now, you will eventually crash because there's not enough thrust to create lift.

But those wings are going to keep you.

It's not like you just go into the ground.

No, you'll go straight for a long time.

The pilots will have a ton of time to try to find someplace where they can put down safely because a plane is meant to be very aerodynamically stable.

But a fighter jet, no.

A fighter jet, if the engine goes out, it crashes into the ground instantly because it needs all of that thrust of those giant jet engines

to keep it going straight because at any moment it could want to go in a different direction.

And so what makes a great fighter jet a great fighter jet?

What makes a great rock star a great rock star?

What makes a great actor or public speaker or show host

charismatic and great is dynamic instability.

It is that very idea that at any moment, right when you think you've got them in your crosshairs, they're going in a completely different direction.

So yeah, I've never heard anyone kind of frame it up as mental illness, but it's probably true.

We're not the same as fun.
