So it can afford to have a kind of crazy political system.

But that politics in the 50s and 60s and 70s, well, those guys had all served together.

All the politicians had been in the same uniform in the same war.

And so they worked together.

So the guys across the aisle were not enemies.

I mean, I think the issue really is there's too much debate going on in the world.

And debate is about winning.

and there's not enough deliberation.

They're kind of conflated words, but too much debate, winning, owning the other guy, and lots of stuff on the internet about, oh, that guy owned that guy in that debate, or that comedian owned that heckler.

Fine with a heckler, but if it's something serious, you want deliberation.

The world that I see is 80% of people agree about 80% of everything.

Maybe 90% of people agree.

And then you've got the extremes on the left and the right, and they think the other one's the problem.

But there's real problems in the world, and how do you address them?

How do you get to that?

Okay, let's talk about the solutions now rather than blaming the other side.

Yeah.

Okay.

I was paid, I would say, a commensurate amount with selling out an 8,000-seater room.

That's a big room.
