Um, and, and you've absolutely done that, um, and pointed me in a direction with it, so thank you.

My job isn't to, um, challenge for challenge sa- sake.

It's, it's more to, um, let you, you drive the relationship here, you know? And, and what I'm, what I, I used to say when I, when I ran my own research lab, um, I used to say, "You know, my job in all of this is to clear the runway.

You're the planes.

You know, you wanna land it, but, but I need to get in there, and I need to clear all the brush, and I need to do all that so that you have a, a way to land the plane in a way that you see fit.

I'm not the pilot of your plane, and I don't wanna be that.

What I wanna be able to do is enable you to, you know, discover and to work on the things that you think are the most passionate, even if they, they ultimately disagree with the things that I think are important." And so, you know, I think this is so important to the future.

That's why I was like, providing the support, you're still letting me do things.
