Connect it back to modern spirituality in that sense of what is the modern spirituality and how can we play our role well in that? The modern spirituality has to have a more active and a new attitude towards the contradiction of being human. That's probably a good way to say it. So it has to afford the individual the ability to make choices in free will. It has to. But on the other hand, it also has to demand that, that the individual support the collective. Now you can obviously say that there could be polemics or you could look in the Bible and it's all good. It's not, it's not a bad thing. But the modern world now demands action. The modern world now demands action. There's no any philosophy you have, whether it's spiritual or not. If it doesn't end with here's the action, it's null and void, it's disqualified because world is moving too quickly and the stakes are too high. So again, this is the game that's not, that's not really a game. So that's why philosophy is either going to be complete failure or it's going to be the, it's going to be the most important thing that's ever happened to the human race. But either way, this is the standard in which it has to be judged. And you know, I tell people ask me when I'm looking for a shrink and how do I know this is a good person? And I always say the same thing after they've seen you really once, but the most twice if they can't tell you, give you some sense of direction, meaning and some, some sense of action and some tools to help you then go to somebody else.
