I thought, I thought, I thought, you know, what's the worst thing that could happen? He could think the car's getting stolen and shoot me.

But our worries are all the same. This is interesting. Okay, so, okay, then let's... But wait, she raised a very good point. We just glossed over it. It actually is the answer.

She spoke about his self-confidence, right? And belief in himself. Okay. That actually is the answer to everything. because if if for example I don't think it is but finish finish what you said okay it's answer to most things no no but keep going if his self-confidence is strong enough right peer pressure will never be an issue And we know, for example, that Alak is very smart already.

He's super smart. So he knows what right and wrong is. What usually sways people from wrong is the external influence. If he's strong enough and believes in himself, he can say, hey, dude, I hear what you're saying, but that's not how I was raised. That's not how we roll. And so already he's kind of insulated from the external influences of the world.

Not to say he'll never like go wrong, but he's unlikely to go as wrong as other people who are just amoebas and they go with the flow. A lot of people end up in trouble. They're like, yo, dude, I don't even want to be here.

This is a rap line also, long before he did podcasts. And he speaks about mama raised me proper, the streets just molded me. The streets coded me, made me a better pedigree. Then he goes on to say things are complicated like Avril Lavigne said it'd be. But that's besides the point. Basically, when you go out into the world, the world will either affirm you or it will challenge you. Cool, right?

So with your fortitude, you'll go there and then you'll be like, no, my friend, that's not how this works. And very quickly, if you're a smart person, you will then learn, oh, damn, I'm wrong about this. However, if you are correct about your ways, the world will affirm you. And then you'll see, okay, this actually works. And that's how people end up rising to a certain point.

I mean, I can't speak to the second part of your thought process because that's more sociology. But the first one, which is economics, that makes sense. And even if you look at any economic textbook, it really just, it dictates that things will be that way. Because capital by its very nature is monopolistic. Right? Right. There are four factors of production, we are told.
