But if you're still on your journey, I do think cities are, they're not just a place to go have fun. They are a utility that you pay for. Like, there's a reason also people are like, oh, if you live in Berlin, you pay this much for an apartment. But if you just move two hours outside, you can get a house for that price. And I'm like, yes, I'm not just paying for physical space.

I'm paying to be close to people who are doing things that I want to do. I'm paying for this energy. It is actually a service to live in the city. I actually heard like someone was commenting, someone was posting recently, oh, Munich is getting so expensive. It's ridiculous, whatever. And this other German guy underneath wrote and everyone was agreeing. Right. And I was also like, yeah, sure.

was kind of in agreement i was like okay yeah everything's expensive this and then somebody wrote underneath it's not your human right to live in the center of a city like it's not a human right to live in the center of an expensive city obviously different story if you live there now you're getting kicked out because of gentrification but you as a you know me as an irish guy who went to college

I have absolutely no right to live in the center of Berlin. I don't, by the way, it's actually insanely expensive, but I have no right to do that. So it is a utility, it's a service, and you're paying a premium because of the services and the amenities provided. That's a whole separate thing.

But like, for example, I know if I wanted to live in San Francisco where the center of this AI explosion is right now, if I was in AI and I wanted to like basically increase my chances of a successful outcome, I'd have to pay the price and live in a place like San Francisco.

I'm not looking for that, but that is really the price of getting the rewards of living in a physical space that brings you closer to all the things you want. And I think a lot of people need to change their mindset about that when they're saying I can get a seven story house out in the middle of nowhere. It's like, yeah, you can. And you just need to understand the trade off. You can do that.
