It's, you know, knock on wood, but it's like, I guess I need that pressure.

I need that collapsibility.

to have that survive, that I'm here.

It's almost like my thesis, my hypothesis, I should say, not quite yet, you know, on AI.

It's not a doctorate yet, it hasn't graduated.

AI has been such an existential threat to so many, and it is, it really is a threat in many ways that we don't know, in some ways we can't articulate.

But the other part of it that I feel

is like we could be entering the greatest renaissance, artistically speaking.

And I've already been seeing this for a few years.

I've been speaking to it.

But, you know, television has gotten cinematic, quite literally cinematic.

You look at Stranger Things or you look at Severance and, you know, each episode.

And, you know, we've had AI slop before AI, you know, Marvel and all these movies have been doing AI slop before AI was even here.

So it's almost like they ushered in.

So fine, you want you want equation movies, you want mathematical formulaic movies.

OK, I can do that.

And no problem.

But the undertone of that, and I think we've seen it in history before, whether it's the Renaissance or any other large periods of change, is an existential threat.

Some humans, humanity does really well with that survival instinct, it to be kicked on.

It has to be kicked on.
