Everybody has the ability, how shall I say, to become special.

I think one of the talents, and given that what we have, we have the Renaissance developer as one of the points in there.

In the Renaissance, the core of Renaissance humanism

was that the belief that humans are limitless in the capability of invention.

As long as you keep their curiosity alive, the moment they're no longer curious, they'll lean back and it's over.

And so I believe that that's really, it's a, I had a limited in the capability, we are limited in the capabilities of inventing, of new, do new things.

If we're just being allowed to.

Yeah, but also, even also just learning maths.

I remember I have two daughters.

They're now close to their 40s.

Don't tell them that.

They got to know that, right?

One of the things, so I'm not American.

I'm not US.

I come from the Netherlands where high school has 10 different forms, depending on sort of what you're, you go to a school to become a welder.

Or you go to a school where you go to university and there's a whole range in between.

And then I come to the res and my kids have to go to high school and all kids have to go to the same high school.

They have to take the same classes.

They have to score good in the same classes.

And when one of my daughters, in the first time that she got into math class, there were four guys in the back of the room that were four years older than that she was, still had failed math every time, but had to still sit in that class.
