What can happen is they start companies because they do often see things, right?

So the effect and experiment, I think, that's been run ever since I think Apple brought Steve back, it just created the boundary conditions for more financiers, capital boards to actually just give founders like a longer run, right?

Like a longer run rate.

And then the results were pretty good because now you have diversity of executives.

You have someone who no one can get rid of who just calls shit, shit.

And that just turns out to be really, really good for companies.

And so Shopify is remarkably high on aides because I really seek them.

I fundamentally like this kind of discussion.

And so that's just like, I mean, I propose nothing.

So I think this experiment is being run and I think can be made to be an active thing that people think it's

be quite actionable.

I think there's no problem with that.

I totally, like, look, I have lots of nice things.

I have a really fun job.

I think that's perfectly natural that a lot of people want to be me.

Like, they presumably do not want to spend the last, you know, 22 years the way I did.

So, you know, like, so I think that's a very natural thing.

Yeah, look, I'm a glorious mess, right?

Like, so it's just like I, the world really needs to understand that the people who build companies are fundamentally crazy people, right?

It's an unreasonable thing to do.
