A highlight from 1% Club of Bitcoin Holders Revealed | EP 822
"It's all going to zero against Bitcoin. It's going up forever, bro. Bitcoin! You're against Bitcoin, you're against freedom. Yo! Welcome to Simply Bitcoin Live, we're your number one source for the peaceful Bitcoin revolution of color -breaking news, culture, and medical warfare. We will be your guide through the separation of money and stay. Today, we're going to cover an interesting topic. I think I saw someone else making content in relation to this topic, and I thought it would be interesting. I thought it would be interesting to cover it, but what we're going to do differently is we're going to cover all the sources, and the million dollar question, or the million sat question, better said, is how much Bitcoin does it take to be in the top one percent of Bitcoin holders? That's the question, right? And there's so many different answers to that, right? Because it's like, of Bitcoin holders around the world, of just overall Bitcoin holders. So we're going to lay out, you know, all the cases, all the cases that everyone makes. So it's going to be a really good show. I'm excited. And yeah, it's going to be fun. And of course, I have my legendary co -host with me. He's always optimistic. Giant smile on his face, like always. How are you doing, Opie? I'm good, bro. The intro, the intro cracks me up every single day. Anyways, I'm doing well. I'm doing well, great and well. I'm doing well. Yeah, what's up, everyone in the chat? I'm doing well, too, bro. I'm doing well. Dude, it's already early. I'm already getting roasted in the chat. So, hey, it's going to be a good day. But yeah, I'm interested on touching this topic. I know all of you guys out there want a little feel good, hope you get some dopamine rushes and feel good about your stacks. And then for the people that are new stackers, these are the goals that you're going to have to, well, not have to, that you'd want to hit. I mean, in my era, it was 6 .15, but I think we're in a new era now, Nico. I think this is a new part of the cycle. But anyways, let's get into the show. Guys, it's just a button up, but thank you. Thank you. We have, Opti's getting professional. Opti's getting professional. I wear this on the regular. Anyway, let's bring in our guests. Let's bring in our guests. I'm wearing a complete Bitcoin merch. But someone asked, Tyler Durden asked, how about the 0 .1 %? We have the answer to that as well. We have you covered. We have you covered. Anyways, I want to bring up our very special guest, Anil. He makes amazing content on Twitter, some of the best. How you doing, bro? Welcome to the show. Doing great, gents. Thank you for having me. Appreciate you joining us, man. Opti, what are we going to cover during the - Well, I'm going to not only tee up Anil on some of his Bitcoin education work, but we will talk about, I saw you just released a book, some of your other stuff, all the other content that you're doing. And I think on today's show, I want to kind of dive in on why Bitcoin with you, Anil, because I know that's one of the big things that you talk about and how everything converges to money, how scarcity, scarce money, leads to abundance of everything. I think today is going to be a good lesson for people and we're going to get them stupidly bullish. I know I said bullish too much today, but I think today, especially considering what Nico is going to cover, I think it'll be a good, like well -rounded episode where we can explain their goals, their stacking goals, and then why we hold Bitcoin. So I think it's going to be a great show. All right, before we jump into it, is it still 6 .15? Is that still the goal? It always will be, always will be, bro. Anil, what do you think? Oh man, I got to, sorry guys, I got to reject the frame. You know, it's a different number for everyone. Okay, okay, okay. Could you elaborate? What does that mean? What does that mean? It means that if you tie, in the same, it's the same problem with fiat wealth, right? You're tying your happiness to some particular number that when you get there, everything will be great. And that's just, we know that's not true. Okay, wisdom. I think you'll be happier just adopting Bitcoin as a unit of account, because you will always see that increasing in what you can buy. Gotcha. I love that. So it's not a number goal. It's a, it's just adopting Bitcoin. And then that changes your perspective on the world. I absolutely love that. That makes me want to change the topic of today's video, but we do not have time to do that. So we're going to jump straight into it. All right, guys, let's jump straight into numbers. Let's do it. Here we go.

"Journalists and analysts are working on this morning around the world. It's 5 39 on Wall Street. The following is an editorial from Bloomberg opinion. This editorial was written by the Bloomberg editorial board. After months of debate, the $280 billion chips and science act passed both chambers of Congress last week. Some aspects of the bill should be uncontroversial. It's proposal to boost funding for the national science foundation, for instance. Yet the bill also devotes an astonishing amount some $52 billion to propping up the U.S. semiconductor manufacturing industry. It's all too easy to imagine government dependent chip makers demanding yet more handouts a decade down the line. Congress can head off this threat with some pro competitive reforms, including expanding free trade deals and scrapping tariffs. Beyond that lawmakers must be mindful about how all this new cash is being spent, and ensure that a one time splurge doesn't turn into a permanent subsidy.

"It's designed with outreach. You know and whole foods is whole. Paycheck wholefoods is hall paycheck. So this idea that we could live this kind of utopic notion of what modernism was going to give us. This was also formed in relationship to devastation culturally and terms of world. War two it. Oh it's like when you think of who moved here and who was designing houses from schindler on it was really a even a brecht writing for hollywood films like that is so interesting to me as also as a as a place of loss angeles in what is iconic about the idea of a better healthier in. La is no longer affordable to live in the city. We have over fifty thousand people on house right now in the city. It's it's really quite astonishing to see what's happening in the parks and on the sides of highways in los angeles. It's just completely inconceivable that as a culture and a community we allow. This is devastating. And i needed to speak about that. And i didn't i you know. We all assumed that hillary would get rain. But i actually didn't have those assumptions. I actually saw all the percolation of what we went through in the last four years and i felt an incredible need to talk about the times that we are living in. You were recently appointed the departmental chair of the ucla department of art. Congratulations thank you. This comes after your appointment as the university's inaugural endowed chair in the art department observed. That was underwritten by a two million dollar gift from the philanthropists. Linda and stewart resnick. And i was really struck by the goals that you've outlined as department chair which include raising scholarship funds to ensure arts education is actually accessible to all students. Which seems like the real center of of what you hope to be able to do. Can you talk a little bit about what changes you're hoping to make to create more accessible education for students in the arts. Yeah no absolutely. I mean one of the greatest things bhai. Ucla has historically amazing art department. we are a public university being a public university. We do not have the same kind of funding opportunities in relationship to getting students. And it's getting harder and harder to get our top choices because we have places like yale who also then not only do full scholarships but then they actually do a stipend to live upon as well. I think that those who can afford an education should actually pay for an education but i am completely opposed to going into debt for education so i was very careful about my words in my interview in the la times where. I laid out my goals because my goal is that art students are able to leave with a degree debt. Free and in order to do that. I need to raise money for a scholarship to create a larger endowment so that we can accomplish that for both undergraduate and graduate students we need to further endow more positions in the art department and that is specifically for adjunct it is also unsustainable for adjuncts to be living in the way that they live now and i was adjunct for a long time. it is it is not sustainable not to have medical insurance and it is not sustainable for somebody to potentially live on twenty thousand dollars a year here in los angeles. That's not sustainable. So i'm really interested in sustainability in terms of also how much the adjunct community brings to the overall amazing education opportunity for both graduate undergraduate students and we need to celebrate that versus. Make it a detriment for them. And so by endowing more positions we can create an ability to potentially give two to three year contracts that include medical insurance and then we're allowing pool of really amazing young artists to be able to have their first opportunities to teach at a university like ucla. And then hopefully be able to gain employment in other places so it's a it's a two tiered thing in relationship to students leaving in debt but that also that we are kinder and more responsible to those who give us so much within the department held you manage your of pedological life with your art and life as an artist there. Are those clauses again right. I mean at this point it all seems like it just flows together. You know it really does. And i think i'm pretty good at time management. I have a really good assistant. Who really helps me. Extraordinarily and at this point the experience of making the work and the knowledge in relationship to what. I wanna make the experiences that i try to put forth to figure out what i'm making all feel incredibly fluid. They're not fraught. You know. I think that i would say that in the nineties and in my thirties i had more anxiety. And at this point i am beyond mid career artists. Because i'm sixty. And i've been making work in the art world for now thirty years and i think that i'm really just excited about the continuation of being able to talk about what i see around me during my lifetime and live out my life with the love of my beautiful family and friends. And i'm really. Hokey gonna cry about that right now because it is I worked really really hard. And that is the hard thing about having multiple closet so to speak as sometimes there were too many clothes and And i feel that. I'm i've been able to pivot and move and be aware in continued to feel that i'm tied into the things that are interesting for me and i have the incredible support of being able to have the longevity that i've had and relationship to being an artist and i wish that everybody had those kinds of experiences catherine. I have one last question for you. It's not particularly profound. But it is one that i'm highly curious curiosity. Is it true that you've been watching the soap opera days of our lives since you were sending sip of water. Sorry yeah yeah. I can tell you everything that's happening right now up to date with days of our lives. But it's like i am really have i can tell you about all the characters all the history of the characters. I'm a walking encyclopedia of days of our lives. And why what. Is it a diesel. We're lives you know something that i watched with my mom. I guess that they. I don't know they became another place of a dysfunctional family for me. Like all the drama. Like if that drama was the drama than do i have to think about my own dramas so to speak and then you just get tied up in a really dumb hokey way like and it's something that i could talk about with my mom. I guess today. I called her but this literally a conversation i had yesterday. Okay mom okay if lonnie is really the daughter of this character and abe is. The father does that mean that. They had sex when she was going out with when abe was going out with a sister like like that's like literally a conversation i will have with my mom. And she's like. I don't know elgible just have to see laugh to unravel so it gives a little touching point for my mom and i in this shared history of these characters in the life of salem and then i've run into the characters and l. a. And i even had one of the characters. Come to my studio first studio visit. And i've always wanted to make still lives. I'm putting it out there on design matters. Maybe.

"Forty six times from the shoulder down to the wrist with two inch needles twelve gauge needles. But i remember. We wanted the gauge. To be big enough that it would create like appearance of body armor and a certain and that i wanted the cutting and the needles to be completely precise because i was thinking about whole binds kind of henry the eighth portrait in a certain way and i was thinking about. What the word pervert man in nineteen ninety four and my community especially when there was a beginning of a divide within our own community. And this is very specific. It's not just for what pervert means from jesse helms the holding mapplethorpe photographs on the senate floor. But it also came from internal homophobia of our own community of again the workers. The you know people who practice were also perverts and that there are portions of the gay and lesbian community are quote unquote normal. And i didn't like the notion of normal. I've never liked the binary of normal or abnormal. I'm more interested in the complexity of sexuality and desire and so was Yeah was that moment. Where in the same. My friend steak tattooed dyke on the back of her neck. That i was going to have rail. And do this cutting and that was done in san francisco in a studio. Why was making a portrait series. It was attended by an enormous amount of my friends including the incredible trans historian. Susan stryker was there and it was you know there were The needles were done first. And then i sat in the chair and roelant did the cutting and then we. I put the hood on and we. We made some without the hood and some with hood. But i didn't want my face. Because i wanted the notion of visibility to be placed on language. So what does the word pervert mean. How do we deal with language you know. Is this enough of a pervert for you and it's also really beautiful and then you actually have to deal with the beauty of it as well because it's not dripping blood it's not it's don in such a way that it just looks like almost a red tattoo but it is blood coming to the surface. There is a real elegance to the photo of the way it's constructed. Had you been very involved in body modification at that time as well. How hard was it for you to have forty six to gauge needles. Put through your skin. Not that difficult actually because when you prepare yourself. It's totally different. If i'm walking through the house. And i stubbed my toe on a furniture. I sit there and i weep. I'm like really angry. I can't believe i've heard myself but when you've already been kind of in the leather community and you are doing this in the dungeons on your own you. You know what you're kind of doing and so you. Your mindset is different. I mean if if something goes to the doctor and get gets a shot. The only thing that is hurting is actually the fear of getting the shop. So are kind of relationship to fear is so complicated as human beings. And i was never afraid because i knew that my friends were professionals and railing was a professional and that they had done this time and time again and i had done a lot of play piercing in a lot of cutting out in a private setting and so i wasn't I was very definitive. And knowing what i wanted to do and and had the mindset to go through it did you experience any of the fauria. You that sometimes occurs during body modification. Oh absolutely now your endorphins. Erc going off the rockers at it was funny because if you watch the video tape. There's one moment where it i have. The the group dead can dance playing in the background. Because i love that kind of meditative music and you know you're breathing and you're going through it and then rail and decided to stop for a moment. Try to pop a pimple on my chest. That was driving her crazy. And at that moment i lost my focus and then i started moaning a little bit more once. She went back into the cutting The cutting as much harder than the needles to go through needles are fairly quick. You know but but definitely cuttings are taken enormous amount of concentration. And your and that's partly. Why didn't want my face in. The picture is because i the endorphins are going off with my glasses off. My eyes are slightly crossed and the first thing that people look at in portraits is people's faces usually and it again had to remain on the body and about the body image was first shown to the public in nineteen. Ninety five at the whitney biennial. And you've said that since then you struggle to look at that photo now. How come well. It's not necessarily struggle. It's i haven't set a struggle. It's it's it's a photograph that i don't need to live with. It's a photograph that i made that. I'm proud of and that represented that moment in time. You know i had. I had several collectors at different moments. Say how powerful that peace is live with and that it's in their bedroom and they wake up every morning and i guess i started thinking. Could i wake up every morning but one of the things that i love about photography it defines the sense of time and within the defined sense of time of that you know going back to that geeky kind of cardiac persona notion of the decisive moment. Like pervert is a decisive moment on my part but that doesn't necessarily define me as a sixty year old woman now so the frozenness this of my time in my community. I'm so profoundly. Honored that my friends and i myself chose to use ourselves in relationship to community to make and work on a body of work that created a certain history in a certain idea visibility. But that doesn't mean that were held in that time in the same way that were held in the time in terms of the making of the work. Before i ask you about the third self-portrait self portrait nursing. I want to ask you about your thoughts on domesticity in your work and you said that self portrait cutting was about the relationship between queer nece and domesticity. I'm wondering if you can talk a little bit. More about what that notion between squareness domesticity is or was well throughout history. People fall in love and throughout history and relationship to homophobia especially after say the you know the roaring twenties so to speak and when kind of the puritanical notion of homosexuality ended up entering the kind of religious indoctrination of not being acceptable and so forth and the bible misinterpreted as so forth When you fall in love you often wanna live with the person that you fall in love with and so domestic day was always literally a part of the notion of having a relationship and being in love and and opening up one's home of cohabitation and to then be denied that both on legal fronts as well as just rhetorically within our society is incredibly fraught. And so this notion of coming out of the closet always made me laugh. Because it's a closet is a domestic space closet is where one another's close co. Mingle if you don't have your own walk and 'cause has which i don't but a closet is where a co mingling of the every day happens and so yeah so it's you know.

And i just thought yeah. Go for it. you're making a show. Let's like us lesbians with mustaches. And the title and i think that is also a different kind of radic -ality of los angeles because of the kind of lipstick lesbian Positioning of los angeles as a city. That i thought it was actually pretty brave that she wanted to do that. And it can noted also another part of the community in l. a. that might not be actually represented within the series. Yeah i love those. I love those opening credits What do you think of the reboot. Have you been watching. you know. i haven't yet. I have to. I have to get on that. I haven't watched the reboot and it's just because there's so much to stream during the pandemic there was a lot extreme and i'm just not caught up on the ellwood yet but i will. It's it's fine. yeah. I'm loving it. I'm absolutely loving and just seeing bentini together. Not as a couple but to seeing them in the same room on the same sofa makes me happy. Catherine you created three portraits in less than a decade three self-portraits in less than a decade that propelled you to even greater awareness and fame in the art world. Then beyond and like to talk to you about all three if that's okay. Yeah the. I is titled self-portrait cutting you created this piece in one thousand nine hundred ninety three and a photograph of you from behind facing away from the camera your shirtless. There's a drawing carved into the skin of your back featuring stick figure women smiling and holding hands and behind them as a house with some birds flying and it looks like it could be a child's drying. You're standing in front of what looks like a baroque type wallpaper. What did this photograph represent. At the time. The time it was something that i actually was is a photograph out of morning My first domestic relationship. And the only one i had ever had before of being with my current partner and wife. Julie burley was with a woman. Pam greg and i was utterly in love and we built a house and we got two puppies and we were living the domestic dream. I imagined in my mind that it would go on for a long period of time. That the two puppies would potentially turn into children. And all of all of that which was still hard in nineteen ninety-three to imagine you know very difficult nineteen ninety-three to imagine and then blood as a substances the substance that was feared. And you know one of the things that i did say in the quote that sm was never sexual wasn't actually completely true. because pam. and i met in a leather context and ended up being lovers. I've had other lovers within the leather community in that context so there is a bit of Kind of pleasure in terms of sexuality mixed into it in terms of my history of relationships but pam broke up with me and i was devastated and for year spent Doodling on a pad. And i would doodle these tick figure girls with the house with the sun coming out of the cloud. Says the sense of optimism. Right that i will find love again. And then i decided to go ahead and make it a cutting and make it a portrait and i was in the process of making the other portraits at that time and that it was just a profound sense of loss and longing not just for me personally and losing my first domestic relationship but the notion of loss overall in terms of the aids epidemic and watching it decimate all of these couples in communities. So even though there's to stick figure girls with skirts but it was yeah. I wanted to make a very complicated universal peace that went beyond my own personal sadness of the loss of my domestic relationship. And that is what i came up with. Can you talk about. How the artist. Judie bamber carved the illustration into your back. What was it like for her. I think she was really nervous. I mean it's actually on videotape. We have both on documented on videotape We don't have self portrait nursing. But we have the cutting my back.

Who had photographed. Were there to support judy. And my other good friend. Who was the photographer. Connie samaras took the dark sides out of the camera and operated the four-by-five camera because there wasn't a you know it's a self portrait but it couldn't be done like on a tripod with a cable release because it was four by five so judy practice on chicken thighs before she brackets on my body. I hope they're photos documenting. What's amazing is one woman the most precise painters ever. I mean her work as unbelievable if you don't know her work her work and were born on the same day in the same year so we both are share april fourteenth nineteen sixty one. She was one of my best friends. And i wanted an apprehension in the cutting i wanted it to not be done by. Somebody like microscope. I would have been able to do it perfectly. I wanted the blood to kind of like almost like as if the surface of the skin was scratched but at moments like you know the scalpel would actually make mark. That was more definitive and it was never meant to be a permanent cutting. I guess you know it became obviously a pretty iconic portrait and then in nineteen ninety-four. You created self portrait pervert. This time. you're sitting in front of a black and gold brocade. Your hands are folded in your lap. You're facing the camera.

So she is an amazing philosopher from toronto canada by the name of annemarie smith and she was one of the head kind of political philosophers and teachers at cornell but she was my lover at the time and Met her in canada at a bar.

"And there's a beautiful image of a woman standing while urinating and in one thousand nine hundred seventy created a self portrait titled kathy which is a black and white image of yourself wearing a strap on dressed in a negligee astride a bed and at that time. You vowed you'd never be a voyeur within your own community. But i'm wondering. Do you ever feel shy about sharing this part of yourself in such a public way. Not anymore did you. At that point or i think that i did. I think that i was still protecting my parents and my family. Yeah i think that it takes a long time to figure out how you should be as a person what is okay to be out in the world in relationship to also this kind of weird protective bubble one puts around their their biological family and at a certain point i just realized that my family has my chosen family that even though i have a profound sense of love for my parents that i it was also not going to remain in the closet and that that was not a healthy position for me and so i just decided to go for but i didn't put that image out actually until the two thousands. I mean that's the thing is like i went back into the archive. And i also probably thought that some of the black and white work from girlfriends. That i did was maybe too close to mapplethorpe and i needed to create my own identity within the leather community as a woman that was separate from mapplethorpe. Because we both also have similar as statics right like we really liked to highly. Is that assize our material in a visual kind of Classical way and so that work in the two thousand was fine to pull out where in the eighties. When you know robertson. Pass away from aids until nineteen eighty nine. It was too close. Is that why you stayed away from using a square format well used to square format a lot and all that private work. I mean it was all shot. Hasselblad and Yeah no but in the archive has that. Because it's a camera that i really enjoyed using including in the new five book you'll see an image of me with my grandfather's roller flexes. His self portrait on one of the beginning stages where it was like nine thousand nine hundred eighty three or eighty four. And i'm in new york city in self portrait with my grandfather's fedora. With a big yeah overcoat holding twin reflex so that work existed and it was going on and i was making it but when i decided to make work of my own community i felt that i needed to create a different way of thinking about documentary and so with being in having which was the first studio photographs of mind with the with the women. Fake mustaches my friends with fake mustaches and looking straight into the camera using that yellow background consistently with the consistent framing created a conceptual positioning to portraiture. That i felt was a way to shift from on necessarily a comparison to maple for work being and having really shot you defame. What made you decide to shoot them on a golden yellow background. Well was in my living room. In silverlake i lived on sanborn. Have and i. You know higher made all my early. Portraits was in my living room. I didn't have a studio. Like yellow is kind of a hard color in relationship to skin tone but the other thing is is in terms of diversity of skin tone of my friends in relationship to inclusion yellow. Was the best to kind of make it pop and i would often have all my friends get their mustaches. And we would kind of make portraits out shooting with a four by five camera and we'd make the portraits and then we'd just hang out afterwards so was also i didn't in a small living room in silverlake. I didn't have the ability to change over all different colors of seamless. Nor was i thinking about seamless.

What what provoked this particular direction of your work. Well at first. I didn't have a car. Because i was moving from san francisco and my car had been totaled and i just decided to walk with my camera and so i was also a you know a street trained as more or less a street photographer in san francisco so in southern california. There's very little street. And so you just start wandering. And i'm a big proponent of wandering. I talk about wandering quite a bit and i recognized what was being built was actually what i watched being built in my Teen years and decided that it was something that i could try to talk about. In the meantime you began to contribute photographs to lesbian magazine mentioned on our backs whose name was response to the anti pornography feminist journal off our back. Yes how did you. How did you first discover the magazine. Living in san francisco. You're basically embedded in that point. Valencia street in san francisco was the kind of lesbian Area the castor was for the boys. Valencia street was for the women. We had artem est cafe. We had a center bath house. We had a meal. Yes which was the seven day a week lesbian bar. So you had all of this happening all at once. And i'll tell you like the women who would go to meal. Yes we're also the women who were being photographed by wonderful photographers. Joe pose ner and susie bright and all of the kind of sex positive in terms of starting on. Our backs was right there at that time and so i just decided like why want a picture and on our backs. I'm a photographer. i'm. I'm a lesbian. Why why it. Shouldn't i try to actually do that as well. Those magazines introduced me to my own sort of private realization. That i was gay at the time although it was another twenty five years before i publicly came out but other magazines that have in my collection that i thought you'd enjoy sure you know this one. Yeah and then caught looking which droid inari publication. At the time you also joined a women's as an society called the outcasts co founded by the activist and academic gayle rubin. But you've said that. Sm was never sexual for you and have described it as the scariest. Most violent secret impulses that could be followed invalidated and made almost cozy in an atmosphere. Where you could always say no and you go on to say that you needed to push yourself to get over the enormous amount of fear you had around your body. Where do you think that fear came from. What was that fear about. Well it's it's personal and it's it's not on the record in terms of personal but there was some childhood trauma my part and i think that there was an enormous amount of healing that this community brought to me relationship to trauma. And you've never read this in an interview. So i'm saying right now for the first time but and you know it's been very hard in a certain way to be quiet about this during the hashtag metoo movement but there's reasons and the reasons are as when you make self-portraits that i made people easily equate that to. Oh well that's why. She made that. She was traumatized as a child. And i try very hard again. Though that kind of compartments that i put things in the in this society were very easily to connote things and to take things and blow them out of proportion in a way that's not authentic to one's own experience so my authenticity to my own experience in my childhood was definitely Worked out on an emotional level very much so through the leather community but at the same time the public -ness of that is not necessarily something that i feel. I need to have completely spelled out in the world. I completely understand for years. I was in the closet and also would not disclose my own early childhood trauma in with sexual abuse primarily. Because i never wanted anybody to say that anything i did was because of that were that i was damaged in some way. Because of it. Or that i would be judged because of my own inner homophobia in in those decades now but i know that the king community essentially saved the life of my wife. Roxanne gay she. She's very public about the fact that if it weren't for the community she wouldn't be alive today. Yeah i feel very very much the same without having to lay out all the details of my past. But what a an amazing place to be able to work out So much thank you for for feeling that you could trust me with with this That sense of community that both you talk about that that roxanne is experienced. That seems to be the most important aspect of being involved in the dsm seen and that it was also political. It was his political as much as it was sexual as much as it was community. And i read that. You often talked philosophy in the dungeon. Kale ruben has great to talk to. I mean i remember at one point. You know Asking gail for coffee and just wanting to talk about the kind of amazing experiences of the transition of so many. Butch dykes transitioning to mail like in the beginning. And i wanted to have like a real philosophical conversation with her in relationship to aids and the kind of work that she did in relationship to the gay male leather sex club south of market. And so when you when you have actual role models and brilliant people that were surrounded me at that time period and various sects positive people. Yes it was really interesting. Deep discourse in relationship to what we were doing and what we were holding and also consensuality and i mean. I wish everybody had that education in some ways.
