Transcript: There's also a thing here probably about build your own algorithms and how, my guess is that has some value in the sense if you can give more people the power to do that, there's more ways in which things can be curated because there's so much out there. So how do you, you know, give tools to curators and stuff like that? I guess that is also curious to me. And maybe it's a practice that I might want to do in my own life is just to think about the things that I have curated and like actively think and write about them. Like why have I curated that? Why are these things that I do? And I mean, I'm wearing my hobo pants right now, and why am I wearing them right now? And I can tell you exactly why. It's because like, it gives me a sense of doing this thing. And they are crappy, and they're beat up, and they're ugly. And it is a way of being that I don't need anything more than these. These are good enough. And maybe some of it is a way of fitting in in the community of like, everyone has ripped pants, and that's part of it. And being part of that, I don't know, even when it's just on my own, something feels right about it. And I like that mentality, that we will use our gear, beat it up, and repair it, and continue to use it. It's like a really good way of being in the world, I think. And there's something beautiful about it. I really believe that. Makes me want to talk a little bit to Gabe as well, because he darned his pants. And I certainly want to darn some pants, and it was pretty beautiful, the darning pattern. And maybe that's a way of adding and expressing and showing love, not only to the world, but to the object, and to other people, and expressing it to other people that this thing is loved. And I'm not going to just throw it away when it has a problem. But that this thing matters, and treating things with respect, and care, and love, and how important that is, instead of treating everything like it is trash, and can be thrown away at any moment. I don't like trash. Trash really is a bummer.
