Yes.

That's the opposite of being a slave. No, but I'm telling to the audience, like when you're young, I'm telling you, like, this is the advice I always give them. I say this all the time. Let's suppose you're a new author, right? It's an easy example. Go into the bookstore, look at those crappy, crappy books on the shelves that you're like, I can't believe this is a book deal. That could be you.

You can be that shitty author. They're friends, like, how did this guy get a book deal? And when you put it in terms like that, all of a sudden, what would have seemed impossible because of your schooling, like, you're not going to be an author. It's like, oh, wait a minute, I can do this.

Or you could be a band that no one's heard of, but you pay the rent and you create your music and you've got a dedicated fan base. That's heaven on earth. You don't have to be the Beatles. Right.

So, we have this bizarre Pareto distribution in American aspirations where unless you're at the very, very top, you're kind of a failure. And that's ridiculous. You don't have to be this hugely successful thing to make it.

I had a question I had for you and then I was going to put you a little bit on the spot in a fun way. Who did you model? You basically became Jordan Peterson, not overnight, but it was pretty quick, right? To go from just a professor to kind of like, yeah, right.
