Namaste and welcome.

I'd like to begin this talk with an ancient and contemporary tale.

It's about a king and his wife that were entering into old age and they didn't have a child.

They were trying to attune to who's going to really take over the kingdom, who's going to rule.

At a very wise counselor they were consulting with.

And the wise counselor who is also a very egalitarian minded person said,

let's just open it to all.

We'll just do interviews and see really who's the best person and kind of like a contemporary nonprofit.

You know, they're going to just invite everybody to the kingdom and do interviews.

So what they did was they were going to have interviews in the world chambers,

but in order for it to be really fair, they wanted first for each person to be able to present themselves without an unfair advantage.

So they opened up the, they roiled the chambers and the royal closets and people had a choice of whatever they wanted to wear.

And they had a banquet available.

So those that were waiting for their interview would be able to eat well.

And they had music and entertainment and fancy soaps.

And it was a very, very gracious kind of an invitation for all.

So the king and the queen and their counselor waited in the royal chambers for people to start lining up for their interviews.

And hours and hours went by.

And finally, they went downstairs and found that everybody had left.
