It's like these things are in some ways like, I don't want to say simple, but it's, you know, a lot of the things that I'm investing in are not science fair experiments.

They're not things that are kind of going to get you riled up about, wow, like that sounds like the future.

But it's just, okay, we're just going to produce more of the things that we need because the infrastructure is just so lagging or so old.

No, no.

I'd love to chat with him.

Thanks.

Third on the way.

I think it's obvious at this point.

I'd rather people know.

Yeah, no, I wrote a speech that I gave a couple months ago where I really started talking about how I see kind of all of history as a war between the family and the state.

These two big institutions.

One is, you know, it goes back to Plato.

It goes back to like the Republic, the Greeks, right, where the entire...

you know, philosophy of the Republic is that perhaps the state can take better care of a society than these institutional families.

And so when you look at sort of, you go back through history and you see that especially authoritarian regimes, the first thing that an authoritarian regime does when it wants to take over a society is it ruthlessly destroys the family.

So you mentioned the one-child policy in China.

That was an attack, a deliberate attack on the family from an authoritarian regime.

And the purpose of it was, you know, it was for national interest.

They talk about, oh, we couldn't, you know, we wouldn't be able to supply enough people with food.

But what it really was was to weaken the only institution that can ever combat the state, which is the family.
