Well, it's not shrinking like China is, but it's actually among the industrialized countries.

It's, I mean...

It's among the healthier ones, but the bar is pretty low at this point.

A lot of our allied countries in Europe are having much more difficult times.

Italy, Japan is in a very bad situation, like South Korea.

It's just you have a world that we've created that's so comfortable, and people are risk-averse, and there are so many distractions that we have that people aren't committed to family.

I mean, calling the kettle black, I've chosen...

never been married or had kids but i have had other endeavors that occupied my time that i prioritized you can only do so much in life and i know my purpose has been to explore and to push different boundaries i'm expendable so i've accepted that i've accepted my expendability so i i tend to push the envelope it's it's nice to know one's role in life i'm just curious i mean

Sometimes, but not to the extent that people would think.

I know good friends of mine who, from an early age, they really wanted to have a family, a wife and kids, that type of thing.

Some people are just built for that.

And for me, it was always something that was not as important.

I was always much more focused on my career, on the military or explorations.

And what I've learned in life, if you have a family, if you have a wife and kids, they have to be your first priority.

Absolutely.

You know, God country as well.

But yeah, you know, career explorations, things like that.

Those are going to have to be secondary.

I was not willing to do that.

But that's why I also push the boundaries further and further than most people, I think.
