And I think that making sure that young people in particular have a sense of belonging is so critical for mental health. And it is why I hate so much of... You know, whether you call it postmodernism, woke, but so much that tries to detach people from what is right for them and give them this horrible deconstructed nonsense and say, this is what's real. I think it's terrible for mental health.

Yes. So after I finished my university degree, and I did a longer degree, I did a four-year engineering degree rather than a three-year one. Where was that?

And I just had this feeling that of unfulfillment. And I thought I made a mistake. Maybe I shouldn't have done engineering. Maybe I should have done something else. And everybody says, you know, I speak very well and I make good arguments. I should have been a lawyer. So I went to, it was really night school.

I went to the University of London, but they have a college called Birkbeck where the classes are in the evening. And so I went to night school while working about 2005.

So I'm about 25 and I do a law degree part-time, which was fascinating because I learned so much about the principles of all of the things we talk about, you know, the rule of law, jurisprudence, but also a lot of the history of the UK, which I would have learned had I gone to primary or secondary school here, I learned in my law degree. And it was just so amazing.
