One thing I've learned from interviewing a lot of founders and building companies myself is that

trust is the real currency of business. It's the thing that gets customers to buy, partners to say yes,

and investors to back you. But as you grow, trust stops being just a feeling and becomes something

you have to prove, because the bigger you get, the more exposed you are. Customer data,

security expectations, regulations, all of it. And the risk of one small mistake

And I've got more and more, I saw you talking about the simulation theory once or twice.

And I started to fall into that whole of thinking.

Oh, yes.

It's, no, you got to, you know, step outside every now and that and, you know, smell the roses.

But you said you wouldn't be surprised if people found out the universe is simulated by some sort of advanced life form.

Yeah.

Given what we can now compute, throw in quantum computing on top of that, we don't have this power yet, but to make a world in our computer where the characters in that world

believe they have free will.

And then they conduct themselves, and then they invent computers, and then they make a world
