Yeah, I know, number four. And not a single one released. How about that? You're going to tell people that? That's my shame.

That's our Netflix model. Yeah, this is the value. We are talking about a... I had a hard time with this one today. We're talking about humility, which is today a virtue, but we're going to come back around to that.

Look, humility is a challenging one because it's in the definition, as Robot said. A modest or low view of one's own importance feels self-deprecating, which feels antithetical to what we believe here in Ye Olde West. Hmm. Explain. That's interesting. Well, I don't know. I mean, don't you just isn't this just a recipe for feeling like crap all the time?

Well, you use self-deprecation as a weapon, a tool. Weapon is not the right word.

And we're going to talk about modesty in a second, because I think it's interesting that you put modesty in the robot, but modesty in the definition, because modesty came relatively late in the historical sort of evolution of the concept of humility. And this is why I think humility is interesting. Yeah.

So when you look at humility, you know, our modern interpretation, as we just said, it's the opposite of pride or arrogance. And what I found a different definition that I actually really like, it is about having an accurate assessment of one's abilities, accomplishments and limitations, which has a different spin on it.

I, for me to have an actualization, that's like, yes, isn't that doesn't that feel a little bit more in alignment with, with humility, as we understand it, the non secular kind of version of humility?

Because then it's not grounded in self-deprecation or meekness. Right. It's grounded in maintaining perspective about where you are in the world. So that's what it used to be, you're saying? No, that's what I think. That's, I think, a really good definition of what it is. Got it. Yeah. Right? I think it's a more complete definition of what it is. But this is the fascinating bit.

The ancient views of humility. I am really, I feel like I have come into my own as a 50-something. Because suddenly I'm into, like, World War I and ancient Greeks. Are you my dad? Yeah, right. I've just become dad. This is what I think is really interesting. In ancient Greek philosophy, humility was not valued and was actually seen as a form of self-abasement. Pride and honor were the virtues.

Greeks. Yeah. Yeah. And that, like, isn't that fascinating? Like, be shocked about that. Pride was a virtue. Humility was effectively the sin.
