Uh, but can you give us a sense of, again, what was the light bulb moment for you when, at a time when people weren't talking about this, at a time when people were talking about India versus China, and they were talking about the Euro-Atlantic world, you staked out ground and said, "We should be thinking about an Indo-Abrahamic corridor or an India-Middle East, uh, Europe corridor." What was the light bulb moment for you that said, "Not only is this important, but this may in fact become the pivot around which the twenty-first century, uh, global economy, uh, may end up revolving around?"

Excellent question, and I appreciate, I appreciate it really, Nick.

I didn't have a particular moment when I had, like this holy moly moment where like, "Oh, this is, this is, this is a thing." I think it was incremental.
8:35
It was absolutely incremental.
8:36
But there were some inflection points along the line.
8:40
I started writing the thesis about Indo-Abrahamic alliance, which brings Israel and UAE and India together right before the normalization between the UAE and Israel, because I sensed that there is an alignment that's taking place that's very much a more of a silent alignment.
8:57
Fast-forward twenty twenty-six during the Iran war, this is no longer silent.

If you can explain to the listeners who will soon read your book, uh, to, to get this and get this as well as just to get this grounding, but where and how, why did you choose this concept? And then kind of then it'll probably flow quite well into Nick's great questions.
