And that was a perfect example of one where when it first came out, not only so, so Brett Weinstein talked about it.

And people were saying, Tim, you might've gone a little off the deep end.

Distance myself from Brett Weinstein.
At least that's the incentive.
And what does that make other people want to do?
Don't become the next Brett Weinstein.
Don't say it out loud because you don't want to become someone that no one wants to compliment anymore, right?
