And that's what's been happening.
Yeah, that's interesting.
You can do them in secret.
That's right.
There's no shame.
Yeah, that's really powerful.
And the reason I'm smiling as you're saying this is that you activated a memory that I think will illuminate the point you just made.
When you were talking, the phrase occurred in my mind from my high school physics class.
I remember the physics teacher, Mr. New was his name.
And he was giving us a problem.
He said, imagine a frictionless monkey swinging from a tree.
Like, you know, it's like, okay.
And then, okay.
And then he says, oh, wait.
It was imagine a frictionless world in which a monkey is swinging from a tree.
And then he stops and says, well, no, you couldn't have a frictionless world because it would fall apart instantly.
Like nothing would hold together if there was no friction.
And that's, I think, what's happening to us with the digital transformation is that there used to be some friction for everything.
If you want to get your opinion out, lots of ways to do it, but you have to find a postage stamp or you have to write something.
You couldn't just snap your fingers and have things happen.
