And so I think that's another thing that ties into what you're saying, is it seems like everybody wants to be betting.
Everyone, even though it's not that many, it seems like a lot of people, but everybody wants to be betting.
Everybody wants to be a part of this casino economy.
But when we look at the data, that's just not true.
That ties into the first question pretty well, where people are doing this because of aspirational displacement.
They're doing this because they're trying to find some way out and because it's accessible.
I think also prior generations might have tapped into this stuff a little bit.
But I don't know.
So I think that's I think one of the most misunderstood things is that people don't want what's happening right now with elements of the casino economy.
Oh, man.
There's a lot going on.
And so what I do every morning is I check all of the major outlets, so Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, to try and get a sense of what has happened overnight.
And then I keep a running Word doc, a Google doc throughout the week to
where I take notes on various themes that I think are popping up.
So if I see a lot of research coming out about gambling, or if I see a lot of articles written about gambling, I'll add that to my Google Doc.
So I try to compartmentalize and create themes for all of the things that I'm seeing, because then it's easier to connect the dots, everything.
is connected in this sort of world.
And so that's what I try to do is make sense of it through writing it all down.
But that takes a tremendous amount of time.
So what I try to do with like arriving to a new perspective is say, okay, what did I learn this week?
