aid and a lot of the NGOs funding that we're seeing are disastrous to the communities that I've become close with, and it's very, very troubling.
I tend to align myself with anything that involves human rights or civil rights. I'm right now extremely concerned about our health care system and its fragility to the next pandemic. I'm extremely concerned about the burnout rate of our practitioners and the overburdening that the nursing shortage and the boarding crisis is causing.
You know, I can't express enough how interdependent we are as a population, how much we need each other. And yet it just seems like every day the seeds of division are being sowed to greater and greater degrees. And it's unsustainable. It really is.
More bread and circus.
I don't think it is. I like to think that we're part of a lighthouse kind of light that's going to keep everybody – reminding everybody about what kind of country we really are at heart and how amazing – the people that do this kind of work are. And that's the irony.
You know, you can cut Medi-Cal and you can take 80% of California's population off those rolls and you can kick people out of assisted living homes or out of old folks' homes and you can force emergency rooms to close. The practitioners will still take care of sick people. The aged will still be cared for.
Children will still be cared for because these people won't let those patients fall between the cracks because that's who they are, which is why it's so infuriating to watch them be taken advantage of or worse, taken for granted.
That's as hard as it gets. We do these debriefs to try to give a sense of closure, meaning to difficult cases so that they won't linger. But trust me, the kids you'll lose will linger. So what do you do?
I did my residency at Big Charity in New Orleans, and day one, I got a kid, five-year-old boy, accidentally shot by his brother, playing with dad's gun, worried he was gonna get in trouble, right up until he coated and died. Then I asked myself, like, what do I do with this kid? Where do I put this feeling? And I found myself walking all night.
I was walking and walking and walking, and I found myself back at the gates of Big Charity Cemetery, and I'm looking at all those mausoleums and those crypts, and I'm thinking to myself, okay, that's what I need. I just need a safe place where I can put these feelings.
Whew!
This is a classic thing that I would keep. I know. I would keep this, even if I found it, I would keep it. Even if it was not even my grandfather's hammer or had no sentimental value. I'm holding in my hand a broken hammer. The wood is sort of shorn off in half, but there's a lovely aesthetic to it. Yeah.
Weißt du, was ich jetzt möchte? Ich habe diese Dinge gesehen. Sie nannten sie Blutvinyl. Die Sowjeten drückten in den 80ern X-Rays. Wenn sie nicht Vinyl drücken konnten, würden sie tatsächlich Plastik-X-Rays aus Krankenhäusern nehmen. Und sie könnten ein Album auf sie impfen. Und das waren russische Albums aus der Black Market.
Aber du willst einen davon? Ja, ich will einen davon. Ich gehe auf einen Jagd und mache einen tiefen Dive. Und dann muss ich es anfassen und es haben. Ja, richtig. Aber du bist kein Vinyl-Typ? Nein, ich habe jedes Album, das ich je gewohnt habe. Ich habe sie mit mir durch jedes Wohnzimmer, jedes Haus. Und jetzt habe ich alle meine Vater-in-Las-Alben. Er war ein großer Jazz-Fanatik. Oh, wirklich?
Ja.
Wenn du aus aspirativen Wünschen aufhörst, Dinge, die du nicht erlaubst, sobald du Geld erstellst, gehst du auf die tiefe Seite und jetzt kannst du all die Dinge haben, die du nie bekommen konntest. Und dann die Erfindung des Internets, plötzlich kannst du diese Dinge anbieten.
Und ich musste durch all das kommen und bemerken, dass es die Suche und die Erfindung ist, die wirklich am wichtigsten für mich ist. Wenn es nur durch die E-Mail kommt, kriege ich keinen Dopamin-Hit auf das überhaupt.
They're out there.
I was never good enough at taking advantage of somebody's innocence. I can't do it. I would always want to pay something fair for it, even if it was way undermarked. And you realize very quickly that value is arbitrary and really it's only what someone's willing to pay you on the day you need to sell it. That's what it's worth.
Everything in this room. Right. How much?
