Don't you think with the kind of advent of AI and aren't we going to be surrounded by dinosaurs in 20 years' time?
The Bloomberg office headquarters is going to have triceratops roaming it.
I mean, this is a big call.
If I had to bet, I bet they're not going to reappear.
But I'm just joking.
If you imagine a lot of these private collectors will set up private museums and I would go one step further, you know, that's exactly, that underscores the interest in dinosaur fossils because, and this is why we kind of pivoted to this, this market, because if you type into Google Modigliani or Jeff Koons, and you look at the search results, the number of people who search have searched for Jeff Koons or whatever, it's
It's totally eclipsed by the searches for a Triceratops or a T-Rex.
There's universal interest in these dinosaurs.
And actually, whenever we do an art fair, we're kind of inundated by children and by people of all ages who come up to us and say, isn't that 50 million?
Isn't that 100 million?
I say, no, it's actually half a million.
Or no, it's 55,000 pounds.
Or it's 8,500, 7,000 for a fast sale.
But, you know, but...
That explains why dinosaurs have kind of exploded in price because people, especially children, love them.
And they are much more universally kind of admired than a lot of the modern masters or kind of art market categories that will fall out of favor every five or 10 years.
Yeah, I agree with you kind of your call on that.
