Pathological. Yeah. Now, like, now it's become productized. Even in these slightly tougher times, hundreds and everyone wants to start a startup. It's seen as risk-free for a variety of reasons. But anyhow, there was a period of time when startups were dead, and a bunch of folks of my era that were smart, which would never do it today, actually went to law school. I did it. David Sacks did it. Keith Rabois did it. Peter Thiel. I know there's a lot of PayPal ones. Ones, but there's a reason. There's a whole bunch of other ones. David Hornick, um, who's at Augustus and Lobby Capital. A lot of us sort of went in, what did this, because we were— there weren't a lot of tech jobs for a while.
