You didn't understand why the mechanics of it, or the mechanics of what they were actually proposing, and why specifically those were bad, and what maybe an alternative might be if you still wanted to generate tax revenue through wealth.
All these points on the ladder that I was talking about are points that were brought up that night.
And we literally had Trey Stevens, a real-life billionaire, founder of Android, debating the two guys who wrote the policy.
And I think everyone came away with it like, oh wow, okay, we now understand specifically why it's bad such that the 600 people who attended and the 400 people who voted against the billionaire tax at that night's debate can now bring that into their own relevant communities when they meet people who are like, hey, we should do a billionaire tax.
And they have the talking points that they can go straight to right now.
So it's probably that ripple down effect that when people go back to the communities they have that now as well.
Similarly, when we have debates on things like Christianity or religion or, you know,
gender relations or other things like people can like bring the talking points into their own life so maybe a difficult one to measure like specifically oh we'll be led to this but I think it's only a matter of time that you start to see kind of concrete impacts and in the culture.
We have some exciting potential speakers in the lineup.
We're always trying to go one level up and quality is better than quantity for us.
So we have some interesting ones in the work and we'll be sharing more on Twitter in the coming weeks.
Yeah, I think, you know, I mean, the mission of the company is to, you know, drive abundance through ocean stewardship, better stewarding our oceans, right, and advance kind of human flourishing by enabling humans to better interact and steward the high seas in Europe.
that means, you know, healthy, safe and prosperous oceans, right?
Healthy oceans where like, we're not worried about the coral reefs dying off, right?
We're not worried about overfishing.
We're not worried about like illegal Chinese fishermen anymore.
You know, that there's like health and like vibrance in the ecology of the oceans.
The safe one is like,
the oceans remain to be this place where most of human trafficking happens, uh, where, you know, hundreds of people are, uh, are, are subject to either, you know, violent abuse, sexual abuse, uh, or in some cases murder on the high seas today, again, because as literally as the wild west, nobody instruments it anymore.
That is just like over and then prosperous.
