Well, with COSA, we see after three years, there's nothing.

They're still arguing over whether it's a free speech issue, whether it should be a policy and procedures issue, so on and so forth.

Doing nothing is not even remotely close to due diligence.

And it is ultimately up to each parent.

It's in some sense up to children to be wise, to be street wise.

But if you went to a town that was completely laissez-faire and anything goes and there's literally no authority who can step in and say, okay, no, this is predation.

It has to stop.

Well, I mean, then you end up in some kind of crazy like Bangkok situation

seedy neighborhood, right?

Nobody wants that in America.

And so something has to be done, either at the state or the federal level, and right now it's happening at the state level.

And so I think the striking of the moratorium language in the NDAA

It is an absolute victory for anyone who's trying to shield children or adults from the worst effects of this.

But in the end, it's going to be a continual fight.

We might be at this for years, and as far as the fight against the sort of transhumanist, post-humanist philosophy, well, this is a lifelong fight.

But these victories show you that it's not a fruitless fight.

It's not a fight in vain.

People can and will win.

And I have full faith, as I oftentimes say, Steve, that enough of us will make it.

You know, the House hearing is just a matter of arguing over the fine details.
