It's something that news that has come over the last few weeks where our own government is saying everyone, I think it was actually to their own government employees to use Signal. use iMessage, use encrypted chat. Do not use text messages because China has, they're just in all of the telco systems right now, which means they would be able to read the text messages, right?

They didn't need hardware implants that I know of to do this. Maybe they did that to get in. But now they're in that system, right? I mean, I've helped in environments that a foreign adversary had gotten into, and it took a bunch of time to evict them and find where they are. That was done all remotely, right? A lot of this stuff doesn't require the James Bond-type hardware to get in. Interesting.

Yeah, that's a tricky topic. Interesting.

Yeah, that's a tricky topic. Interesting.

I mean, there's so many things to worry about, though. Like, yes, kind of. Once you've seen enough horror shows, though, you're like, oh, wow, everything's just broken. Society as a whole, it's amazing that it operates. Just the levels of trust. Like, one person is all it takes. Enough well-placed, like, damage.

And whether it's security or just electrical power grids, all these things, all of it can just tip over, right? With just enough of a push. And, like, everything's that way. It's not just security. Yeah. Yeah, so I don't know. I kind of just lump it all together of like, this is a really good experiment for humanity. I mean, humans have been, what, on this planet for some say 300,000 years, right?

Like, we're living in the best time. I don't think there's a single person alive today who would be like, yeah, bring me back at random more than 100 years ago. Sign me up. Like, that's not a good... The odds are not good, right? Like, we're the most comfortable we've been, most well-off, on average, across the earth in this last hundred years. And, you know, it's a good experiment.

And things are volatile. I mean, that's kind of the consequence of freedom, too, right? Like, it's... The people got to maintain it.
