Well, uh, we thought it'd be great to have a world-class university here. There's no top private university in Austin. Um, we wanted to, uh, compete with Stanford, Harvard, MIT, these others.

I'm personally deeply concerned about just like, you know, you used to have these young people would go to these places.

And it's like, it's clear where they're going when they're there.

And I think we taught just implicitly in our civilization, we taught courage, right? We taught like pride in our civilization and the duty we have, like that we've built this upon hundreds of years of progress from the enlightenment and from our classical values.
