This is just what the industry hands to you.

I think it's completely sensibility.

It's completely sensible for a lot of people to just put it in an index fund.

No, I mean, I think that makes sense, right?

It's like I think you're losing yourself in the, back to the fly fishing example, you're becoming the person that's just trying to get quantities of fish

This is also there's an example of people outsourcing all of their thinking to AI or all of their artistic expression to an artificial intelligence.

And they're kind of losing their ability to think clearly for themselves.

And part of your framework is the difference between, you know, playing games in an achievement sense versus for the win or the loss versus in a striving sense where it's more about the process.

Yeah.

T, let's talk about this as we start to underline this for folks.

And I mean, I think the initial prompt of really your book, The Score, and where we started this conversation was how to stop playing somebody else's game, how to start playing your own game.

And I think there might be some people listening that get this sense or feel this sense as I have at various times.

I had like a whole burnout episode earlier this year, T, where I had to go and assess like what I was doing, what objectives I had, and really think about what wealth I wanted to kind of build and what that meant.

And I think many folks are in that similar position of they feel like they're just playing somebody else's game.

They're just grinding it out.

They're not really living.

They might feel some of the symptoms that we've talked about.

How do they get out of it?

How do they start playing the right game?

I think there was one idea that you had that spoke to me.
