00:20:03.260And so without gathering in all the best thinkers, particularly policy thinkers outside the industry, you can despair that we will get there.
00:20:17.820Well, but one thing that's clear is if you have a big cyber attack that caused a lot of problems, then people will say, OK, they were right.
00:20:27.900The people who are talking about that were right.
00:20:30.160So it may be that we have to suffer a few of the negatives before we'll respond as fully as we should.
00:20:41.560Fortunately, though, you know, those aren't civilization ending.
00:20:47.620I mean, if you hack Fidelity or Vanguard and much of the world's trillion-dollar retirement nest egg, that would be a pretty big event.
00:20:55.460Well, you could create uncertainty in cases like that.
00:20:58.940And so being ready, trying to make sure we do the things and avoid any negative incidents, but assuming we fall short of that, then when some of the negatives start to emerge, you have very concrete ideas in place so people say, okay, you're right, we don't want that to happen again.
00:21:21.100So I know that getting people into this dialogue is worthwhile, even though the risks that will allow a few events to happen is very high.
00:21:32.840So in other words, what it's going to take for us as a country and a world to tackle this is not just a 12-page essay from Bill Gates.
00:22:45.480It wasn't hard to predict that the Republicans were going to lose the House and Senate.
00:22:51.320This is a major political realignment.
00:22:54.640The Democrats were repudiated at a level never seen since the founding of their party 250 years ago in 2020 and again in 2024.
00:23:03.020But the Republican establishment just got more arrogant and Trump became imperial and launched an incredibly unpopular war that exploded inflation.
00:23:14.420And so a lot of conservatives and populists are really depressed right now.
00:24:11.080And at the end of the day, we have to get positioned to promote American freedom, basic liberty, the free market meritocracy that made this country the example of the world.
00:24:25.540That's why they try to censor myself and so many others, because they don't want us to be the alternative to the global government, the universal basic income, the neo-communist system, technocracy they're pushing.
00:24:37.840And we know if we roll over, things will just get worse.
00:24:41.080No, we have fertile ground out there for people that are ready to be awakened,
00:24:45.560ready to be motivated, and ready to engage.
