Good morning. Good morning. Welcome to Sunday morning live. This is a donor's only. We'll start donors only in a sec. I'll do a little rant for the gen pop. For the gen pop. And of course, oh yeah, chapters 13 and 14 of your novel, dissolution are super intense. Yes. Yes. Yes, it is an intense novel.

0:29.2

I am trying to, I'm trying to catch the moments in life when people don't understand the import of the decisions they're making, right?

0:40.1

So every novel for me, you know, needs kind of like a purpose and a theme, right?

0:45.2

Otherwise, what's the point?

1:39.8

who didn't really understand the violence of socialism.

1:42.5

And I was saying to him, you know, can, um, can I disagree with you in your system? And he's like, well, no, you can't, right?
