Val, is it fair to say we Brits would probably refer to that as the middle classes?

So the ones that are not having to, well, they're working, but they're going about their own business in a nice, quiet way.

I think, Rhonda, that your purpose is elevating the wisdom of that middle society.

And with that in mind, then, why do you think it's quite so urgent right now?

Well, there are people who are talking in the U.S., for example, where I'm originally from, of the tyranny of the fringe.

So the things that are happening on the edges of American society, which are overtaking everything that's happening in American society, putting things far, far away from what all of us who, as I believe, really are the foundation, the basis of society, the people in the middle, because you don't have ends if you don't have a middle.

But the middle is where everything actually lives and where most of the world's things happen and take place and interactions happen.

But if nobody's paying attention to that, look at all of the wonderful things that were missing just because nobody knows.

And nobody has the opportunity to say, oh, I've really learned something from this.
