So actually, what I saw started before law school, but I just couldn't define it. It was the stuff that I saw when I was studying engineering with those students. That was the first degree. And I had... Just a very dim view of a lot of the students studying the humanities courses because they didn't need to work as hard as those of us studying engineering.

I think I had about 26 hours of, you know, teaching time and lab time. You know, we were in the laboratory all the time. And then you had these people studying arts and they were all sort of, you know, just messing around all the time. They were acting plays and having lots of fun and going on demonstrations and protests. And I thought, where do they have time for this?

And they were all so sort of smug and condescending. So I realized, well, I don't like this. And because I have the self-confidence of growing up in a relatively wealthy family, I don't feel intimidated by them. And I challenge them. I have arguments with them. And they lose and they get angry.

And I think that they are just very weak people who don't like arguments and they say things like, well, you can't say that. Or how can you how can you say that you're black? You should know that, you know, all these people are racist and we're just trying to be helpful and so on. And they were so condescending. So I know I don't like that.

I also know that I don't like teachers who just set very low expectations. I'm learning that family has actually been the most important thing in making me who I am. And I didn't realize that long enough. So all of these things are taking me on the journey to conservatism.

Then I do the law degree where I'm reading about John Stuart Mill and Edmund Burke and, you know, how the rule of law is so critical to conservatism. you know, the West, but how this country functions and you learn the power of institutions, you see how you need to preserve institutions from generation to generation.

You then compare with what happened during the colonial era where institutions are brought and, you know, dropped in a place. And so, yes, there's now a common law tradition, but the culture has really changed and eventually the culture erodes it. So a lot of it is personal experience and observation and lots of arguing. So I loved arguing, loved debating.
