Because, you know, it's so hard for them to listen to their kids and abide by the things we tell them.

So thank you for that reminder.

They will be yelled at in love.

Well, my prediction is actually linked to something that Sherelle mentioned earlier around AI.

And I do really believe and I think I hope, maybe it's hope, that people will fully understand and act on the climate implications of all of this new technology.

And that they will see that it's real.

They will feel it from their lived experience.

Because social psychological research says that when you make something vivid, when the grid goes out in Atlanta, you know there is something bigger happening here.

And then maybe we'll be a little bit more sustainable in terms of all of the technology that we're experiencing.

And then as a person who's also in the education space,

You know, yes, there are so many AI new classes that have been introduced at the business school and elsewhere and in executive education.

But I hope the number of climate classes will be equally as high so that we are seeing both sides of things.

So that's my hopeful prediction in terms of what's going to happen in the year to come.

I'll add one other topic that this is going to sound funny to say that it was overhyped and I don't mean it in that.

Look at me prefacing so much.

Look, we've talked a lot in this past year about the epidemic of loneliness.

and how that's leading to just so many negative things and how that's partially created by all the technology at kids' fingertips, at adults' fingertips, at comparisons and all that.

But I do think we need to get better, and I hope in the coming year, at differentiating between being alone and being lonely.

And we don't cherish enough the value of being alone and how that's an okay thing.

I mean, Manoush, you started this out talking about something, you said something about an introvert, right?
