And her argument would be that this would be the single greatest way to solve, like, the single greatest short-term solution to mankind's problems. By the way, I think she's 100% right here. This is such a genius idea. But my point is, if you want to participate in the world in a kind of ethical way, you have to do a version of this in your life.

So I have a simple thing I do, which is I try and change the people I... I follow a very small number of people on Twitter, and I constantly change them. And so I cycle through... like I'm always like once a week or something, I drop two or three people and add two or three people just trying to, cause you get exposed to new.

And I try to get the, I also want, so I, I follow, um, The Ukrainian war, I don't know why, really closely, but entirely through these ex-military guys who are obsessed with logistics. I love these guys. And it's stuff I would never in a million years have heard of before. None of what they say is in the news. It's all so weird. It's super interesting. My favorite guy is this guy, Trent Chilenko.

I love Trent Chilenko. I want to meet him one day. Who's like, by the way, he's been saying that Russians are going to lose. He's been saying this since the beginning of the war. And he had this great tweet early in the war where he found a photograph of a Russian transport carrier, like a truck, that was stuck in the mud. Yeah. And he zeroes in on the tires.

Do you remember this? Yes, I remember this. Made in the USSR. And he was like, they've lost. They can't win. Their tires are from before the wall fell. And he goes this whole rant about tires, about how you got to be rotating the tires. If the truck's in storage, the tire's going to break apart. It's like, and if there's tires of that, that says that your this doesn't work and you don't have this.

And I was like, so that's like, you have to keep exposing yourself. That's how you learn about what you need to update, right? So now when I read something, about the war, I have a slightly different perspective because I have trends in my head. And I'm asking a different set of questions than I would have otherwise. It's not that I'm a skeptic.

Yeah. There, I thought about this recently because I was, I go to this little coffee shop in my nearby hometown upstate and there's always these two old guys who, who are in the corner, they're there every time I go there, and they're always having an argument about, not an argument, a long discussion about movies. They're movie junkies.
