Yeah, you're also quiet serious black okay, yeah, I'm going to talk about that because I I didn't mention it but that's a really good point. So a couple of the students here mentioned something I brought up in the intro class, which is depending upon your eyesight, how you see colors, there's a million different things that make us all wonderfully special and unique people.
