The island. Yeah. You need a space to congregate. Man, and I found history on this. So 400 years ago in the coffee houses of Europe- Like the scientific revolution, the enlightenment happened because they would go to coffee houses, they would sit there, they would drink coffee and they would work.

They would work, they would write and they would do debates and they would organize marine routes, right? They would do all the stuff in coffee houses in Europe, in France, in Austria, in UK, in Holland. So we would always be going to, we were always going to cafes to work and to have serendipitous conversations with other people and start businesses and stuff.

And when I, like you asked me to come on here and we flew to America. And the first thing I realized was that I've been to America before, but we were in this cafe and like, there's a lot of laptops, everybody's working on something. And I made, I took this photo and, And then when you're in Europe, like large parts of Europe now, you cannot use a laptop anymore.

It's like no laptop, which I understand.

For a lot of people. A lot of people have very small homes and co-working spaces are kind of boring. They're not very private. They're not serendipitous. They're kind of boring. Cafes are amazing because random people can come in and ask you, what are you working on? And not just laptops, people are also having conversations like they did 400 years ago, debates or whatever. Things are happening.

And man, I understand the aesthetics of it. It's like, oh, startup bro shipping his bullshit startup, you know? Mm-hmm. But there's something more there. Like there's people actually making stuff, making new companies that the society benefits from. Like we're benefiting from Nvidia. I think the US GDP for sure is benefiting from Nvidia. European GDP could benefit if we build more companies.

And I feel in Europe, there's this vibe and this, you have to connect things, but not allowing laptops in cafes is kind of like part of the vibe, which is like, yeah, we're not really here to work. We're here to like enjoy life. I agree with this. Anthony Bourdain, like this tweet was quoted with Anthony Bourdain photo with him with cigarettes and a coffee in France.
