Greed is good.

I mean that was – Well, that was one of the – That's right.

That was one of the sort of transition points.

There are plenty of ways to go make money that are legal in the United States today that most people would still say like, oh, like that's not going to be the top thing the college kids are going to the recruiting presentation on.

So I don't think it's exactly the fetishization of growth because I do think growth is good.

I think in the periods where the United States – where the economy was working best, people were absolutely obsessed with growth and that could be – Or the right metrics of growth.

Maybe it's – Yeah, exactly.

So I think that's more the problem is that – and this connects back to sort of some of what especially the more sort of market fundamentalists got wrong is there's been a very concerted effort

Like whether it's your experience trying to figure out how to watch the football game or youth sports or

Or, you know, now you do see young people obsessed with prediction markets and crypto.

Yeah.
