I want to have some stuff saved up so that I can continue to have a good life.
I want to be able to provide for my family so that when I meet a girl, I can say, hey, I've got enough money for a down payment on a house so I can provide something really nice for you and for our future children, rather than like you say, just blowing it on, you know, beer and girls and music and all of that.
Man, that's fascinating.
That graph was really, really fascinating.
It's interesting to me that every one of the things on that graph is also a profit center for certain corporations or certain government agencies.
I just find it interesting that we have a media
and corporations that really don't have any desire to teach self-control for the better quality of life for people.
And they actually get to benefit from that downstream.
If they can teach our kids on social media to be like impulse buyers and not wait for anything, and you've got to have it now,
Well, then later on, they're gonna get into trouble, just like your graph showed.
They're gonna have trouble holding families together.
They're gonna have financial trouble, criminal trouble.
There's often physical abuse and there's substance abuse and all these things that come from this.
And I can make money off of all those things.
and create organizations and raise nonprofit funds to be able to treat all of this stuff for people through my government or through my organization.
So it's really interesting.
That's why I'm a big proponent of parents raising their children, not farming them out to other people, including public schools, to just teach them.
other values that are not going to lead to self-control.
It's all about self-empowerment and self-realization and all that stuff.
I know you don't like swearing.
