Man, okay, well, this is an appeal to audience members.

This is a game that we obviously need to win, and it's astonishing to me that we're talking about this level of funding for a problem.

of this sort.

It's, when you look at what gets funded and at what scale, you know, there are startups that no one's ever heard of and will never hear of that have, you know, raised, you know, 10 times that amount of money and, and they evaporate.

It's just,

This is all upside down.

So, you know, I am going to be giving money to this.

I've already given money to Plowshares and others.

But this is going to be, you know, a top priority going forward.

And I would just welcome that all of you get involved to the degree that you can.

I know, Carl, Longview is opening a nuclear weapons policy fund, right?

Can you say something about that?

Well, that's great, and we will put a link to the Foundation page when this podcast goes out.

It will be on my blog and in the show notes and in the associated email.

Lastly, Carl, imagine we have some in our audience who are just going to college now, or they're midstream in their undergraduate years, and they are...

Suddenly struck by the opportunity to live a truly meaningful life by trying to grapple with this particular problem.

I imagine there are many paths through a university and perhaps through a graduate program that could equip somebody to meaningfully put their shoulder to the wheel here.

But what strike you as a couple that seem especially promising?

Yeah, on that point, that brings us full circle to what Christopher Nolan has just accomplished with his film.

I mean, it's just, you know, it's a work of art, but perhaps more than anything in recent memory, it's made this problem unignorable for so many millions of people.
