Well, turns out, by the way, people are willing to give up a quarter of their earnings in order to have meaningful work. Absolutely matters a lot. Well, the idea that I'm doing something for someone else has big impact on human beings. If I can find something that I care about and I make it available to someone else, that is. I'm not doing this just to be famous. I'm not doing this just to make sure everybody knows who I am or any of that.
