And so we are the cleanup crew for all other innovation which is, you know, it's a living. It's a, you can, it's an honest living. So whenever innovation happens, like the entire world will adopt it before they realize like, oops, it messes up democracy or like, oops, whatever, you know, like utility drives adoption, not safety, like welcome to earth, you know?”
