Right, frauds. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Deep, deep, self-aggrandizing, naive, moralizing, hyper-agreeable, deluded, reputation-savaging, cancel-culture frauds. Right.

Right. So let me ask you one more psychological question about that. So you talked about exposing people and exposing fraud and a certain amount of righteous judgment. You know, I've been thinking hard about the use of anger because anger is a... very powerful motivational state. It involves a mixture of negative and positive emotion.

The negative is sort of defense preparation and the positive is assertive approach. And it's very physiologically activating. And it's one of the sources of energy that I draw on when I'm lecturing, especially spontaneously, you know. But it's a tricky thing to manage because too much of it makes you hectoring and finger-wagging and self-righteous. And too little of it kind of makes you insipid.

Now, you talked about your stance of judgment, you know, with regard to the people that you were exposing. And so, Is it possible for you to characterize the emotional inputs into that sense of judgment?

Because you're making the case that you used your belief that you were uncovering fraud and malfeasance, which I believe to be the case, by the way, and that that justified cornering people who you couldn't talk to otherwise and actually exposing them for what they were doing. And is there... Is it reasonable to presume that the emotional source that you're drawing on there is anger?
