I never say never for just about anything but I'm as close as can be to never on

some things.

First I'm not particularly interested in it. I'm pretty sure my brother

Tom and I both believe we can in fact far more positive change in this world through the vehicle of our

in our building, back when we get to our building,

that we all of us, and I mean you too, of course,

all of our members, we can make the world together

smarter, happier, and richer.

And so there's no political office needed.

There's no campaigning, no special interest,

or pacts, or negative ads.

Oh my gosh, so so many negative ads, no sloganeering either.

And this is particularly good for me because one of the things I'm the worst at is just

saying the same thing, the same soundbite over and over. I just can't do it. I take far more joy

and coming up with something new for you every week on this podcast than if I were

just saying the same thing over and over.

But if I were good at that, well, that seems to be what politics are often about.

You need to stay on message, right?

You say the same thing over and over that gets you the votes but that's the opposite of my own
