I'm pulling on my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time to their drive to work.

Okay. So today, I'm going to talk all about flux. What is flux? I will explain.

So one of the things about magic that is, it's not unique to magic, but something that magic does that's unlike a lot of

games, is that it is constantly changing. It is a game that evolves. And so, for example,

I have a thing I call the crispy hashbrown theory, which is one of the reasons I think

people enjoy it. But it's it's more of the mastery phase can't be fun. A lot of people enjoy it.

But it's more of like just learning what others before you have learned and just sort of ingraining that.

But one of the things that magic does, which is really interesting, is because magic keeps
