No one is judging you for your background, for the color of your skin, for your profession.
It's just everyone gets to raise their hands and ask ideas.
And if you look at the diversity of topics as well, I mean, we had a school teacher present on teaching immigrants, a book called Making Americans.
We had a presidential advisor to four different presidents, come and talk about the changing of US politics.
We had a musician, a composer,
from Italy who lives in Australia come and present his latest piece and fundraise.
We had painters come and sort of show their art and talk about it.
We've had authors of books on leadership.
We've had intellectuals like Steven Pinker.
And it's just extraordinary that the breadth and this crowd basically loves not just the diversity of the audience,
but also the diversity of the topics.
And the last few were with Scott Aronson on AI and alignment and all of that.
So a bunch of beautiful weirdos.
Exactly.
And beautiful human beings.
So in Greece, there's many, many words for love.
And some of them mean friendship, some of them mean passionate love, some of them mean fraternal love, et cetera.
So I think AI doesn't have the baggage that we do.
And it doesn't have all of the subcortical regions that we kind of started with before we evolved all of the cognitive aspects.
So I would say AI is faking it when it comes to love.
