This is Monica Perez, and I am here today with an extraordinary researcher, and I'm going to say

deep historian.

Someone you may actually have come across those work

because he has a really robust Twitter following and lots of other avenues, 7C, the number 7 S-E-E-S.

Hello, and thank you for being here.

Hey, thanks for having me, Monica.

And I appreciate that intro.

I've never called myself those things, but if other people are doing it,

hey, I'll take it. It's true. It's true. I mean, the things that, first of all, you're unique in

that you, the way you connect to the networks of people is very telling. And it's, it's kind of, you kind of

you kind of have to slow down and really look at it to

absorb the impact of just what we're talking about when we talk about the connections across

people and companies and industries and institutions, the government, academia, big tech, defense.

And it's, you can say everyone's connected from everybody else through six degrees of

separation.

But these are, this is one.

This is like, that guy was at his wedding.

You know, like that is, that's something very different.

And yes, you might not know what they're saying.

But there's a famous expression when a bunch of guys in the same industry get together,

it's not for a wedding.

Oh, yeah.
