So, you know, just I really would encourage people. Don't buy the hype of all valuations necessarily. Some will be cheap, by the way. We'll look, look, yeah, Amazon went to the moon. Yahoo went to the floor. Um, some, some of these companies are probably worth many, many times their current price, even though they are look expensive. Others may not be.

But I'm just saying it is here. It has happened. Sam, Sam, you twitted me this morning, mate. Sam Oatman said something. Sam Oatman said something. You twitted him? No, no, no. Sam Oatman says something in public. And someone twitted me, said, look, look what Sam Oatman said. He said the quiet bit out loud, the whole thing's going to hell. And I kind of said, maybe. But also, the genius is out of the bottle. If it's not Sam Oatman, it's someone else. The technology, you can't hold back the tech.
