I'm glad that was your experience. I apologize in advance for being Ms. Buzzkill. But my father was in assisted living for a few years toward the end of his life. And I helped him move in. I visited a lot. But he told me on the phone at the beginning, you know, there's no one I can talk to here. Everybody's like in cognitive decline.

And then I thought like, oh, come on, you know, I'm sure it's not that bad. And so the next time I visited him, a woman came up to me and said, hi, nice to meet you. My name is, and I was a school librarian for many years. And I thought, see, you know, she was a school librarian. She's got to be, you know, pretty smart.

And then I met her a few minutes later again, and she said, hi, my name is, and I was a school librarian for many years. And every time I ran into her, that's exactly what she said. And I realized, oh, she's having serious cognitive issues.

You've done so much about ethical decisions, especially like on The Good Place and the book that was almost like a companion to it. And one of the questions in the series is, is it okay for the Ted Danson character to go in and video and audio record people without their knowledge? Because he's there to spy. I mean, he's the John le Carré of assisted living. Right.
