But the ones that are really great, they just think, well... obviously I need to make some money because I can't make this thing grow unless I have money. And then the money That's a plus, not a negative. And the profit motif there is more a testament to efficiency and the desire to progress than anything else.

Yeah, well, and it doesn't take that. Well, the typical Fortune 500 company lasts 30 years, right? So the failure cycle is pretty damn rapid.

Yeah, well, that that's right. That's right. Come inverted. Well, and that that often, I think also happens when the company has become successful. It's like, okay, We did it. Now what? Well, hopefully there's a new vision and a new direction, but otherwise the thing is going to keep, it's going to turn into an algorithm and eventually that won't work.

And my default there certainly is, Like if you've got a plan and it's a reasonable plan and you've worked it out and you're motivated by it, how about I leave you the hell alone because you've already done something really good.
