about how everything works.
I can see an element or a theme of that running through that problem, if you know what I mean.

We just don't realise that the Jarls are still here as well, right?
Yeah, and I lived here.
You guys are proud of that.

You're seeing people like the Tech Council of Australia and others that are out there trying to soften this trend.
