The country during the Cuban Missile Crisis was at DEFCON 2.

You know, by the way, the lower numbers are the more severe.

DEFCON 1 is nuclear war.

And we were at DEFCON 2.

So it's very bad that we're fighting a regional war in Iran.

We were

DEFCON 2 with the then Soviet Union stopping their ships in international waters on their way because of a blockade of Cuba.

I would say that was a more polarized time and more dangerous.

If our parents could get through that, we should get through this.

And I think knowing that, to me, and I think it should be to everybody else, is knowing that something has been done should give people comfort that it could be done again.

And so every time is different, but this is not more extreme.

I totally agree.

I think range is going to be even more important now than ever.

And, you know, one of my, I've written about this, but it's sort of a, I don't know, life and maybe business philosophy too, is that opportunities live between fields of expertise.

Yeah.

You know, I like living it.

And over the edge of cliffs.

Totally.

And over your horizon of what you could see about the future.

Totally.
