It feels like in the past, people just didn't know about certain things.

Now they can be confidently wrong about something, which I actually think is more dangerous.

So that is my concern.

I guess that is what would come to mind in terms of an existential threat.

I just...

I worry about our information funnels right now.

That's the thing.

So then any kind of shorthand of, oh, we just need to come together, any of that, like Joe Biden, this is not who we are.

You are so far off addressing the central problem here that this is functionally useless.

I don't know.

It feels like it's something that societally is going to have to change.

There's going to have to be a premium put on good information.

So where do you get your information?

Well, again, that's where we are very lucky.

And this is not scalable.

I have a staff who can go out and speak to...

Experts for weeks produce a packet of good information.

They can update, they can find out, is this data still current?

So often you're passing around data maybe in good faith, doesn't apply anymore.

You don't know.
