are like that.

Like you're like, there's so many moments that are so life and death and so high pressure that, um, you're just in these situations all the time where you're like, you have to act and you have to like do something.

Otherwise you're toast.

And you just have to like figure out what the best plan of action is and the best course of action and just do it.

Um, so I think that that the realities of, um,

you know, having to operate quickly, I think just over time remolded my brain.

Yeah, I have two brothers, two older brothers.

They're both – I dropped out of college, and both my brothers have PhDs.

But my oldest brother is an economist, and my other brother has a PhD in neuroscience.

So they're smart.

Yeah, they're smart guys.

Yeah, I think –

Yeah, I think my parents are probably still a little miffed that none of us became physicists, but... Oh, man.

Yeah, no, I think my parents are super proud of me.

I went to Los Alamos Public High School, Los Alamos Public Middle School.

The town is 10,000 or so people.

Now it's more because they do manufacturing of these nuclear cores.

So now there's a lot more people there.

But when I was growing up, there was like 10,000 to 15,000 people.

So pretty small town.
