If you are a risk professional in any regard, whether it's security or beyond, you have to start thinking in this way because you're exploitable, you know, and how could that be exploited? And I think if everyone had that type of mentality, it would really help with risk-based solutions to get to resilience. And you're right.

I mean, nobody would have thought that, you know, they would be off the coast of Florida right now. However, I bet somebody thought of it though, Kyle, but they probably were viewed as some crazy conspirators and they were dismissed because that was just outlandish Maybe we need to start having more intelligent, logical, outlandish, imaginative conversations to help plan for risk.

I mean, we probably do have a plan for like a alien's land, right? Like that seems rather outlandish, but I'm sure we have a plan. Maybe we need to have that kind of conversation. And with the batteries, I've actually, I completely hear you.

The batteries are really scary too because on a climate aspect, and here's my environmental management hat coming on, they're actually thinking about starting to harvest these kind of like rocks at the bottom of the ocean. It's going to destroy entire ecosystems if they do it. And it's not going to solve the problem either because we still have this dependency on these particular minerals. But

Maybe if we start looking at other types of minerals and different ways to create batteries, maybe that's the kind of the route we need to go, kind of like the sodium ion batteries they've been testing in various countries. Maybe that's something that will be helpful. And they'll also hopefully be better for the environment, maybe be cheaper and be easier to charge. I mean, those kind of things.

I don't know enough about that to be able to comment on it, but I like that we're at least trying different things. Car powered by salt sounds really interesting, for sure.

Oh, for sure. And also they have a higher aptitude for learning, right? Because they are learning different types of diverse skills across the board. I think that that would be brilliant. The fact that you could understand how to set up solar or you understand how to grow your own food. It's like back in the day, having to take home ec classes, right? Learning how to cook in an

early age is important. It serves you as an adult. Most people can cook on some level. They can boil water or they can fry an egg, you know, that kind of thing. It's important skills. I wish they taught us more about, you know, balancing a checkbook and other things that we were going to need, like doing taxes. That would have been nice. Like these stuff. Yeah.

But also, I'm sure you remember, too, we had like wood shop and metal shop and we learned how to like make a bird feeder and the little box derby cars and things like that. That kind of stuff actually stayed with me. So I'm not afraid to go near that equipment or I have an understanding of it. I still don't like angles or math. It's OK. Who does?

But those kind of skills are super important, you know, going into the workforce. As we're wrapping up, Kyle, I kind of, we've had like, this is a heavy conversation. There's so much to unpack. What can we do as technology professionals, food safety professionals, food defense people, all of these types of roles, what can we do to help? Is there anything we can do?
