So we are actually a company, but we are addressing many of the same problems that the big foundations are addressing.

And the big issues that you and I talk about in health, for example, are all on our list.

We're kind of optimistic as to where this will go.

And Larry's supporting the project.

And we're going to build out an institute here, which will have about 5,000 people in it.

And will be, I think, a pretty exciting new addition to the science and technology ecosystem globally.

Trust me, Eric, I'm not making any definitive decisions about areas I know nothing about.

Part of this is about how do you set up leadership, run a team, get the right people in.

I have to say, one of the really interesting things about the Institute is we've been able to recruit some outstanding people

across all those domains.

And as you know, success is almost all dependent on people.

So we're really pretty optimistic we're going to have a significant impact.

And of course, we also want to take risks because there's not a lot of point in us doing stuff that everybody else is doing.

we're going to be doing some things that are, you know, pretty way out there and, uh, and some of them will fail.

So we just, we're just going to get used to trying to make sure we get a few of them across the finish line.

So, so, but, but the other thing is that, and you've experienced this too, I'm, you know, you never get too old to learn.

And I'm, I mean, I'm sucking up stuff that I never thought I would, I would ever learn about, which is fun actually.

And yeah.

Yeah, we've got the original building which Larry committed to is about 330,000 square feet of space.

I mean, this is completely amazing.
