Even my parents thought I was crazy for considering the school. What you a TX is brought to the table is something so thought provoking it's setting me up for real life. It's not just coddling me in an institution that is virtue signaling. The state of higher education in the United States and the Western world generally, was so awful, so disastrous, that we had to create a new university. If you're wondering why the museums you love and the publishing houses you love and the newspapers used to trust, if you want to understand why they are hollowed out, you have to look at the nucleation point for this. And that is the university. I deeply believe in this country. I deeply believe in its founding values. And there's a lot of people right now who, who don't agree with those values. They don't agree with the Ferris pursuit of truth. The premise is that America is not only not great, but evil to the core and rotten and need to be torn down. The answer to that is simply no. And this is not a problem that just goes away naturally because society wakes up. And a lot of these people, as we succeed, they're going to attack us. They're going to they're going to say horrible things about us. It's gonna be controversial. And that's why it's going to be a lot of fun. Ours is a revolutionary institution. False revolutions propose only the tearing down, yet the word revolution in its original sense to turn back to a point of origin with the purpose of renewing. Super excited for orientation week. It's one of the most fun experiences in my life so far. I've made so many friends. Classes have been difficult but really quite fulfilling. You will not find a caliber of intellect and interest and breadth and this kind of courage among the students anywhere else in America. I got asked a lot why would you want to go to a university and be the first person the founding class? It's it's a scary thing, it's a new thing, it's a risky thing. You gotta be adventurous to want to explore all the different fields of human knowledge and you've got to be very adventurous to what to do at add a new institution. If you're a builder, you definitely should come to the school. It's the best school for you. You can't live in a tiny little bubble and have a fun life. Everybody has a purpose and why they're here and they're here to accomplish a mission. We have a huge number of friends who started a lot of the most important companies in our country who are really excited about HX, who are backing UAT. You are saying they want to hire as many people as possible out of UAT X? I've already had the opportunity to have three work experiences. I'm getting opportunities and internships from companies I would never have dreamed I'd be working with this early on. We want people who are really winning willing to run the experiment. It's an experiment you never get the chance to run again.
