If you had a neighborhood where you had every house had security guards and those security guards were people that worked the same house for 10 years or 20 years, the knowledge they had of that house was extreme. And then if that neighborhood had an HOA with call it private security and those private security were also sort of around and knew everything like what would happen Like when a dog gets lost, you know, you be like, Oh my gosh, my dog is lost. Well, they would call each other and one of them would find the dog very quickly. So how do we sort of change that and bring that into the digital world is do you ever stop and consider that that neighborhood might suck? Just like the idea that every house on my street would have all knowing private security guards and I would have an HOA and that HOA would have a private security force. You can easily paint that to dystopia, right? Like, everyone's so afraid that we have private cops in every corner. I would assume you live in a safe neighborhood. I, I, I hope so. Yeah. If you want, I'll take you to a place where people live that they have to, when they get home from school, lock their doors and stay in their house and they can't go out. And. But I'm just saying the model is everybody is so afraid that they have. Private cops is, I think the model is that doing crime in a neighborhood like that is not profitable. And I think that that should that you want people to move into another job.
