And I thought about the climate problem.

We're not going to solve the global warming problem, at least not in our lifetimes.

But you work on making those trajectories sustainable, the end of life particularly.

You work on making sure other people don't get strokes if they can avoid it.

In my case, I wrote about it.

I was blogging about my stroke while I was having it.

I was tweeting about it.

There's a funny tweet that's kind of mistyped because, you know, things weren't working.

So that's like share your knowledge, share your learning.

And everyone can do this now, like on whatever platform.

And then there's also this like giving up part, but not in a depressing, well, maybe you could call it depressing.

I started to zoom in years ago on the idea of the serenity prayer, the sobriety thing.

It's like, know what you can change, know what you can't.

Yeah, see those three properties are really important right now.

Some aspects of this we know absolutely what we can work on.

Cutting vulnerability, energy transitions take time.

Science can help us discriminate the difference.

And that's an iterative changing landscape going forward.

But at the same time, I personally, on climate modeling or narrowing how hot it's going to get or more clarity on when an ice sheet is going to collapse, I think those are what I call known unknowables.

I've seen enough evidence that those are deeply complex problems that we're not going to get there quickly.
