You know, if he gets a video that gets 300 million views, he's like, why couldn't that have been 330 million views?

And it leads, I think, a lot of the amazing change that has come in our world historically, you know, if you look back, was kind of people with similar brains who are just so driven for more that they affect history.
Yeah.
That's right.

You're going to get a lot of reward chemicals to your brain being like, good job, you lived.
Now I have a chance to continue to pass this DNA on that's inside you.
