And you know, that's just the way people, some people roll when they have the opportunity to roll that way and that, okay, fine. But he, there was just a, I have a kind of a level of, you know, judgmentalism around that, you know, it's like, at minimum, that's a, a, an attractor on the, on the landscape of, of wellbeing that is

'''Eric:'''    00:54:08      We're talking about. His Lamborghini, all the time.

'''Sam:'''        00:54:11       Exactly, you've, you know, you've bored me already. But I had no more insight into him than that.


'''Eric:'''    00:54:08      We're talking about. His Lamborghini, all the things
'''Eric:'''    00:54:21    From one meeting I've been I've been talking about him for 15 years.


'''Sam:'''         00:54:11      That you've, you've, you know, you've board may already. So
'''Sam''' Right, because this was like a 10-person lunch. Okay. And I had maybe, you know, three sentences exchange with him.


'''Sam:'''         00:54:18      But I had no more insight into him than that. I met [inaudible]
'''Eric''' You know, so mine was at his house, right. I'm ushered into a waiting room. He's got some super complicated electronical electronic art. I get up, I look at it and I say, wait, is that, is that a camera inside the art? I, the first thing, I'm a genius for finding the cameras. I inside, my next thought is I'm supposed to find the camera inside the art because the cam, the art is supposed to draw my attention and I'm supposed to see that I'm being recorded.


'''Eric:'''    00:54:21      Yeah. Three times from one meeting. I've been talking about him for 15 years. Right. You end up, because this was like a 10-person lunch. Okay.

I inside, my next thought is I'm supposed to find the camera inside the art because the cam, the art is supposed to draw my attention and I'm supposed to see that I'm being recorded. I'm called out to a room and back with a huge long, it's sort of exaggerated dining table with a giant American flag as its tablecloth, so that any food or drink that is served on it may spill onto an American flag. And I'm just in high alert, like, fuck you, who, who, who are you? And he comes in and he's got this attractive, again over probably 22, 23-year-old woman. I think she's introduced as an heiress or something and he's bouncing her on his knee in order to get my attention. There's some other guy who says nothing during the meeting. I have no idea what he was doing there.

'''Sam:'''        00:55:39      And I think I, one detail I'd like to add here, in defense of the many people and the many scientists who are in this guy's orbit and who didn't know how unseemly his life actually was some of these young women who you'd meet in his company were not just, you know, bimbos or strippers or that some of these people were going to medical school and there's like, these were like smart young women.
