Or you can accidentally cut off your hand.

But the tool is not good or bad, it simply is.

And if you're trying to change public opinion, you have to understand how public opinion is formed.

If you don't understand the sort of levers of power, if you don't understand the logic of where people get their information, you're gonna be doing what I think a lot of good people who are trying to do good unfortunately find themselves struggling with, which is they go, my work is so important, it matters so much to me, it's gonna make a positive difference in the world, but nobody cares.

And I can't get anyone to write about me, I can't get anyone to talk about me, I can't get anyone to try what I'm doing.

If you don't have a good eye for marketing and the ability to break through and communicate what you're doing, it doesn't matter how great your product is.

I always wanted to write about ancient philosophy.

That was what I was fascinated with.

That's what I loved.

That's what something Robert and I connected over is sort of we just love, you know, ancient history.

But I understood that, you know, publishers weren't exactly lining up to give book deals to kids in their 20s who had dropped out of college.

to write about an obscure school of ancient philosophy.

And so I went and I had a career where I made money.

I developed a bunch of relationships.

I developed a platform.

I published a book about a different topic.

All of this was setting up

you know, getting in a position where I could have a little bit of power and say about what I did next.

And that's what that transition was designed to do.

So I think, you know, some people go, how'd you go from writing about, you know, public relations and marketing to ancient philosophy?
