[00:50:00] S0: Okay, Cyrus. Really, we went to all sorts of different places sometimes because I don't see me understand all those things so well. But thanks thanks a lot for doing this. Last question. What is your favorite book? You've seen a lot, you do a lot, different industries, different things you've done. What is something you really enjoy reading? [00:50:17] S1: Wow, my favorite book? I haven't even been thinking about this for a while. Mean, so many different categories. I think one book that I really like is... This is gonna be a bit for yourself, I know. But there's a French author from three centuries ago, Voltaire, who wrote a book called Candide, like the word Candide. And it's in one sentence is the story of naive person that goes from happy in a world where they know nothing to fairly sad in a world where they know everything. So it's kind of like, do you wanna be ignorant and happy or all knowing and sad? And I've always thought about that question. I think I know all knowing and sad if we have to make a choice. But I think it's interesting because it's the journey you always take from the beginning of an investment. You're very much like, oh, this is amazing. I love this. And everything is kind of rosy and green flag. And over time, you realize so many of your beliefs are actually shattered by confrontation with reality, but it's still worth it because that's kind of what makes your life, I guess, in a way worth living in my view.
