a path to knowledge, really. That's what excited me about it from day one. And i had read a lot and a as, as i mentioned, to really learn about the world, i read of magazines and books. And i thought, the internet can give this tremendous access to knowledge in real time, to way. And this, that's the aspect of internut that always fascinated me above everything else i've never been incommerce or i meanto productivity applications. But but to me, the the big promise that resonated with me was always access to knowledge, the exchange of ideas, the whole getting smarter, because we can now wecan, wecan share wit what's in our minds across distance and cheaply and freely. And wow, what. What an incredible advance for humanity. That was f if gutenberg's press led to e advancement of knowledge and science and all these great things for manity, how there this explosion of knowledge and learning that will happen when it's all very fast and distal? And so that was the promise i saw. And in that's what have been stuck on ever, ever since, for the last last 25 years, is thatif people can share their knowledge, or the ideas they hav ave in a other people can axess those, thenmy naive belief in the early days was only good can come from that. Now i see it is a much more mix bag, but, but i still think that that's exciting and something worth working on.
