But if you, even in your own example, what you had in Mario is somebody that is able to garner the respect of all the different factions.

Now I understand that it ultimately broke apart, but he is the tooth fairy that I'm talking about.

You need somebody that people can unite.

Okay, so if we know that people aren't going to stay united for long, what you're saying is the duration that people can stay united is the duration that you can have that sort of peace, prosperity, and the second that you... How long is that duration here?

Ray, you say very troubling things in a very calm manner, which I think is probably the only way to say them.

All right.

So as I then step back and I say, okay, the cycles are what the cycles are.

You said something earlier, which I think is really important that I want to reemphasize.

What's happening now is a determination from something that happened earlier.

And so to some extent, you're in a better position to deal well with the way things are, the reality.

I've heard you talk a lot about that.

The reality is what the reality is.

You need to be awake, you need to be paying attention to that reality, and then you need to base your plan of action based on the truth of that circumstance.

To do that, though, one thing I think is incredibly important is people have to be able to strip their emotions out of this.

I know you're a huge proponent of meditation.

How do people get good at removing emotion from the equation so that they can see reality accurately?

Okay, very fascinating.

So if you take a chess grandmaster or anybody that's really proficient at chess and you put a chess board in front of them, they look at the board and they don't have to analyze each individual piece.

They know that pattern on the board very well.

They know where you are in the game.
