That's what I'm trying to get at, you know? Yeah, yeah. But yeah, that's just not, I'm not a one issue guy. We live in a world where kids die from easily preventable disease every single day. That's outrageous. We could fix that. We're like more than rich enough to fix that. We live in a world where 85% of the world population lives below the US poverty line.

Half of the world population lives on less than $7 a day. And yes, that is adjusted for purchasing power. So don't talk to me about inflation or blah, blah, blah, or that you can buy more here or there. No, this is the world we live in. It's incredibly unequal. And we could fix that. And even in wealthy countries, we're just at the beginning of history.

Can I interrupt that, David? Yeah. So that's not true.

So no, no, no. So if we look at our member base, we now have 7,000 members. It's really people from all walks of life and all ages. So we've got more ambition circles of students. We also have more ambition circles of CEOs of, people who have already retired. It's a very diverse bunch of people.

And sure, it's true that if you're in your 20s, you haven't written the constitution of your whole life yet. So it's a more flexible period. You haven't been sucked up by the Bermuda Triangle of talent yet. You haven't become a strategy consultant yet. So maybe it's easier to make a change. But there are a lot of people out there.

So I was a very lazy boy in high school. My preferred grade was a 5.5. We have a grading system from 1 to 10, and a 5.5 is a bare pass. So I would have done just enough to pass the class. And when I became a student, when I was 18 years old, I became a member of this small student society with a small fraternity. Most of the other guys, they were quite a bit older than me, 23, 24 years old.
