the meaning is gone. So I was writing this post about how actually now there's this premium on human written language. Like if you make a couple of mistakes and you use the old words, you don't use words like forged and robust. I'd like to forge a partnership with you, Stephen. Furthermore, can we – I'm like, you never said that to me, mate. The end dashes. Oh, my gosh. It's funny, right?

It's crazy.

No.
No.
Yeah.

Human error. The value of human error. The value of human error. Scooter Braun said to me the other day, he said... we could watch a computer play chess with another computer. He goes, but the chess games that have the highest demand are one human versus another, because when a computer plays a computer, the moves are predictable, and they're the same, and they're perfect.

But it's the human error of two human chess players, who are worse, objectively worse, at chess, that makes it so fascinating. Yes, that's any sporting event.

It's fake. On the interview example, the minute you started describing that, I immediately flashback to an interview I had last week at our company where a young kid walks in wearing a suit. And I thought, now I have no idea who you are. Because I know that's not you. I know that you don't wear a suit. You're 22 years old. You do not wear a suit. So I have no indication. I have no clues.

as to who you are. And therefore, it's harder for me to figure out if you fit here. And I think of, because what he tried to do there was show up perfect, what he thought perfect was, and in some ways to hide who he actually was. Whereas this is why I like, now on the internet, sloppy text. I like grammatical mistakes.

is pretty inauthentic, but too little effort, what's that? This is my diagram. You've got perfect on one end, which is low, and then you've got poor, which is also low. The sweet spot is right here in the middle. I think there's some truth to that.
