We could share it out to all the other places where we connect with friends. But we're going to start it here and see how it grows. And I really love voices in conversation and with the Grace to be able to think about it and go back and listen. And I'm really excited. So I guess Nolan, tell us a little bit about this one comment you made

Hey, Frankie, awesome of you to post on here and ask about me. I really appreciate that. And I wanted to quickly talk about your point of intergenerational conversation. I found that very interesting, and I wanted to highlight that. Well, it is, of course, extremely important to bridge the divide

You're 17. What do you think about the Convention of Education? Do you think we're programmed to go to College in this country? And how do you handle that programming based on the fact that you want to not be automated, you want to be in manual drive all the time. What are you thinking about education

But I personally definitely feel a huge pressure to go to College, just not even really for the education, just because society tells what I need to do, and because I've been sort of in a position of educational institution my entire life

Let's say you take that path and you take all the gifts from that the ability not to worry about stuff and just go indulge in becoming a student again and really getting an incredible education that helps you understand the context of the world we're living in based on the past and gives you the chance to chart your future. How are you feeling about how messy the world is right now? Is it going to seep into what you're going to experience in College?

So I'm just going to go to College if I can and just sort of live my life in the way that I would normally. Yeah. But that's an interesting point. You bring up that we've been so conditioned to the state of things today. And really, that's not how they shade business

The class would come together and we'd walk the streets of New York. And I remember thinking, this is so unrelated to anything I'm ever going to do. Except it's the most wonderful thing that I was doing. And then it turned out that I became a tour guide for a year in New York. So it did come in handy

That sounds like a very fun class to walk the streets of New York and sort of experience the architecture in that way. That's very cool. It's a hard question because I don't know what College go to, and I don't know what class they would offer, but I don't know. I think weirdly. I want to take a religion class. I know it's not wacky, but I don't know anything about religion

I loved how you're talking about cooking. And I heard you, I think eating. Yeah. Those sound great. Like Gray classes. Theater is amazing. It taps a different part of you, a different part of your brain. It's playful. It's also steeped in history, history, which is also cool. And cooking is also something that gives us such a lesson. Geography and culture and all the things that make food delicious

It's just that you can see it very clearly in the data that economic growth has at least the ability to buy a house and find a job without much education has become more and more prevalent as places become more dense, which is a trend that you see in centuries ago. So what I would want to say is that although there's that third of the millennials being lazy, coffee drinking hippies or whatever they do work very hard and they're just subject to different things than the older generations were
