Transcript: So one thing that I really love about listening to Guillaume Verdon, I believe on Lex's podcast. Um, I don't know where I am. I guess I'm like about two thirds of the way through. And he's talking about, you know, effectively using the EAC movement as a balance to, um, the other extreme of, um, kind of the doomers effectively, if we're going to label them that and him also explicitly articulating the truth is in the middle of somewhere. And that by expressing the extremes, we can effectively let all of the middle ideas out as well. And I think that's an interesting point. And him also talking about how code can kind of become culture. And through this movement, they're creating a certain kind of culture and other people can create other kinds of culture and movements. And yeah, I mean, it seems, seems very reasonable and real to me. And beyond that, I think, I mean, my question is like, what are the tools that we need to do that more effectively and create these subcultures and everything that, um, yeah, I don't know, are that more effectively, um, and maybe Twitter is the best thing or maybe something else is, I don't know, but I think a high degree of experimentation and variance, like he mentioned, is very important.
