My friend Kevin Kwok has this quote that's like, tapping a tuning fork, see what else resonates. So if in a sea of people, you have a distribution of different kinds of seriousness, you want to find the kind of people who vibe with you and I'll...

Very nice. It's so fascinating to me how easily people tend to triage themselves that way. Like there's no, you know, like top down way It's just naturally people gravitate towards people who are similar and away from people who are not. And, you know, I used to play in a band when I was a teenager. And it's so funny that like 10, 15 years later, we find out that, oh, this person has ADHD.

This person is bipolar. This person, like it's all these people who were misfits and maladjusted in some way that were all just drawn to each other. And it's not like we signed up for who has ADHD. you know, this issue. We didn't even know. We just knew that we were all very passionate about what we did. And we just all found each other. It's so magical, actually, when you think about it.

Yeah, what you're describing reminds me of an anecdote from one of Michael B. Jordan's classmates. And she was saying he was such a weird kid. You know, he would come to school with his headshots and stuff like that. And it's just so striking to me that being serious when you're starting out is really difficult socially.

Because, again, it's like, I think the general sentiment in most of the world is like, who do you think you are, you know, to take this thing so seriously? Like, why are you so... And, you know, like, another joke I liked was, imagine being Shakespeare's English teacher, right? Like, this annoying kid coming up with his own phrases and words and stuff like that.

And I also have sympathy for people who... like the teacher, for example, who is just trying to teach a class, but there's a student who's like, nah, I'm going to do my own thing. God damn it, William, not again. Exactly. And at the same time, I think about all the kids everywhere who had that spark of something, but it was snuffed out because their social environment just didn't allow it.

It's tempting to think that, oh, You know, I have it and I've made it so far. Therefore, I'm special. Which, yeah, in some sense, yes. But we always, I think, underestimate the degree to which a kind word here, a supportive context there, just really, you know, you watch the right movie at the right time of your life and it just hits something for you.

And someone else just random walking didn't get that. And it's like virtuous cycles of do things get better or not. And yeah, there's a lot to get into about how society is structured in a way that kind of, you know, it's like, I can always see both sides of this. Like, it's both good and bad. It's a kind of sorting algorithm in a way.
