00:00That's an interesting question, isn't it?
00:07Does it have more money than they have?

00:15potentially, and whether material wealth is the thing that we're going for,
00:19because we're sort of reaching the end of capitalism.
00:23What does it look like after that, basically?
00:26So, yeah, if we're on capitalism standards, then, yeah,
00:29the more money, the better, because that's what we do.
00:32But if we're not, maybe not. That's kind of it.
00:34Not the be-all and end-all, I'd say.
00:36Well, you know, it's what they call a maintenance factor, isn't it?
00:41If you've got enough of it, everything's okay, and if you haven't,
00:44it's a source of worry.

00:54I think, yes, absolutely. I think it'd be silly not to say so.
