Or you look at, let's just say, kind of spontaneous coordination of starling or fish school behavior.

And sort of phenomena that are very difficult to explain

mechanistically exist.

They just do.

And so you don't even need to necessarily step into things that some folks are gonna get very hot and bothered about, like remote viewing, which I do actually think is very interesting.

But if you just look at animal behavior, what we might call instinct becomes very hard to pin down.

So that's a very fancy way of saying, I'm not really sure.

But whatever the inputs might be, I just, I have started, I have paid more and more and more attention to it.

I pay attention to it with everything.

People, girlfriends, investing, right?

Sometimes it's the flip side, right?

You've had Toby of Shopify on the show.

And it's like, when I spent time with Toby and Harley, I got this sort of physiological quickening.

I don't get it much.

It's not like this happens all the time.

And you do have to be careful about not fooling yourself, right?

It's very easy to fool yourself and to look for evidence, confirmation bias, et cetera, to support what we already believe.

But in cases like that, I was like, ooh, there was like a physiological quickening.

And I had my analytical kind of hat on looking at Shopify as a business and stuff when they had like nine or ten employees, but also just being around those guys, I was like, oh, yeah.

These are good horses to bet on.
