here we are talking about children and they gave me all kinds of advice that
they gave me all kinds of advice that
they gave me all kinds of advice that was unacceptable to me and so I started
was unacceptable to me and so I started
was unacceptable to me and so I started mapping out some make-believe
mapping out some make-believe
mapping out some make-believe mathematical formulas and I don’t want
mathematical formulas and I don’t want
mathematical formulas and I don’t want to say the word math because that scares
to say the word math because that scares

people right so this is make-believe and
people right so this is make-believe and I promise you it will be really simple
I promise you it will be really simple
I promise you it will be really simple what I did was I wanted to find very

first equation is really simple it’s it
first equation is really simple it’s it says war plus you and this is how we
says war plus you and this is how we
says war plus you and this is how we acted as a human species going deep into

realized largely that we should forget
realized largely that we should forget all that we should just focus on making
all that we should just focus on making
all that we should just focus on making money all right so as long as we made
money all right so as long as we made
money all right so as long as we made money it was good and then we realized
money it was good and then we realized
money it was good and then we realized that in 2000 we started running two
