Hello. Already got people jumping in. I love this.
Charming, may have nodes. What's going on? If any of you want to join the stage with me, I would love to have some company.
and we'll give it like a minute or so to let more people win.
All righty. Welcome everyone. Thank you for joining. Richie, how's it going? Bonjour mon ami.
Life is interesting. Hey, everybody, hello friends, hi friends. I just went to the dentist in Turkey to get my teeth cleaned. And I had to show my eyes
I had to give my phone number. And I just, I don't know, I don't do well with that kind of stuff, you know. I'm not so peteous to stand and argue for 10 minutes that it definitely raises my eyebrows. And I'm like, do you really need that?
And again, yeah, yeah, we really, really need it.
I just took the cleanity. Yeah, and so I just I must be in the wrong place man because the trajectory of where this is going, it's not for me.

I believe it's really like something that will change human society forever. And I'm also that instead of just being looked at as a marketing product.
I'm a bit tired of that. I can see the advantages of that, you know, for example, if let's say I really like yoga, you know, and I always buy yoga. So they're okay. I get some advertisements for, hey, what about this new yoga? I like yoga. Okay, I'll give that
try. Fine. But when it comes down to Facebook or Meta as they're known, collecting every single WhatsApp message between me and all of my friends, for God knows what reason, every tiny little message, you know, "Hey
achieve what time you're going to be home seven o'clock don't forget to buy some milk you know why do they need that and they're obsessively collecting it no but yeah but they they really do need that because nothing ever gets deleted on those serves
which are just chewing up carbon like no one's business. I don't know if you've seen that recently they're launching in the UK according to like the World Economic Forum's objectives. These things called 15-minute cities.
