Because they were going to make money from advising on those things. And that, in my view, is not creating productivity. I left banking. People say, why did you leave banking? You know, you were making money. But I left it because I wasn't doing engineering anymore. I was no longer a systems analyst. I was doing compliance because that's where the money was. Lots of banking regulation coming in.

And I just thought, I'm a bureaucrat. This is not what I want to do. And I left. And that is what I think Elon and Vivek are going to try and change in Washington. They're going to try and shrink the size of the state, shrink all of the waste, a lot of the inefficiency. And when that happens, many more people will go out into productive areas. It'll help people getting back to work.

Yes. How do we address that? There is an economic and a cultural malaise. And I think... Once upon a time, that hole was filled with religion and a belief in God. I'm not a religious person, but I do understand it. And when I look at the way things are going wrong, you can see that it's about people looking for that meaning. And, you know, J.D.

made a joke yesterday when we were talking about this, you know, in an adjacent way. He said that, you know, people are Calvinists, but they're not believing anymore. They're looking for something to feel guilty about. And so they go, you know, that's where the wokeism... comes from, that how can we make ourselves feel guilty and self-flagellate.

And, you know, that festival that I was talking about where I met Kimberlé Crenshaw. Yes. There were some girls in the audience who I spoke to afterwards and they were all sort of, you know, very left wing and they didn't like what I had to say. And the more I spoke to them and we, you know, we were having arguments, very friendly arguments, the more I realized that they were not left wing.

And I said, why are you saying all these things? You're not left wing, you don't believe this. And one of them said to me, because I want to feel like I'm a part of something special.
