Speaker 2
Yeah, it's hard to to you mistake it for reality. And then you like, yes, you mistake the illusion for reality and you sort of don't understand that it's in your power to change it. But also, I mean, I think a lot about this is why maybe the
Speaker 2
that I live in New York, and I'm sort of acutely aware of how the my social environment, how that does shape me, right in different ways. And so like, if you work at a bank, right, then you're a lot of your peers are also, you know, in a bank and they have certain ideas and certain values and whether you like it or not, that sort of starts to shape how you how you look at life, or you run around with a lot of cognitive dissonance all day, right. And and I think your your description of that hedge fund and the politics and the social interactions, I it just seeing that in a story to me is very powerful because it reminds you of how you're how it happens in your own life in whatever community you're in. And and how you if it's not a positive community, how you can how that can become an eddy, right? And you're like, well, this thing is important. And it's just because it's mimetic desire, I think it's this is important because it's important to all the people around you. But you sort of after a while, you stop noticing that that's the dynamic and you stop noticing your own core. So again, I can't wait to share some quotes from the book and and from your stuff with people. I really look forward to it. I think I and I look forward to to whatever you're writing next. I think there's a lot of layers, a lot of great ideas. And I'm really glad Graham Duncan is the one who told me about your work. Really grateful to him for for that. Graham Duncan.
Speaker 2
who that is. He he's an investor. I'll I'll share some some of his writing with you after he's it's it's cool. Very much worth reading. So so thank
Speaker 1
you. Well, I'm I'm genuinely thankful for you reaching out to me because you know, I'm starting, you know, I'm relatively early on this path. And, you know, looking looking for opportunities to spread the word. And so this is a real gift that you give me up really jolly, I appreciate it. And you know, maybe we have a cup of coffee sometime.
Speaker 2
I would love that. And the pleasure is all mine. And this was terrific. Thank you for taking the time.
