And he was saying you have to eventually jump from green to tier two thinking.

He says you can take at least I think knowledge or human experience and break it down into four quadrants.

It's like that one book I read. They talk about a guy who like his whole his biggest claim to fame in life is that like if life was a pool, he emerged from it and jump back in without making a ripple. And I was like, fucking that kind of rules.

Well, it's funny he did it. He did go on a search for the wisdom of the East.

That was part. That was the whole thing in the book. They were French aristocrats. And this guy came back from World War One was like, oh, yeah, I don't agree with any of this stuff.

He went to India and came back and he's like, yeah, I just like to chill. And they're like, what the fuck's wrong with you? Now, guys, you can chill.

Yeah. I mean, you get out of World War One. You're allowed to fucking you have to jump back in the pool.

He's like, what the fuck was that? He was like, I'll be here if you guys need me, but I'm not doing anything. It's good. It was called The Razor's Edge coming home from World War One.
