You know, it's just crazy.

And that's how we got here.

And that's why we're even having this debate.

Well, those are, let's, that's the most generous way to express it is different assumptions.

The truth is no one knows the future.

So what those assumptions mean are we should regulate this based on our own personal predictions of the future.

But the history of being right about those predictions, the history of being right about those predictions is pretty limited.

And so we should be really careful about that because those are all self-serving.

There's no...

There's no reason.

I mean, they went to Congress two years ago and they said literally there was fear in their eyes for the economy and for people dying everywhere.

At the same time, of course, it didn't work and it was hallucinating and it was silly and it was making things up.

What is it good at?

So it just... You can't have all of these things being true at the same time.

So what it really says is not...

now is not the time to regulate because we don't know where it's heading.
