It's part of the reason why I started doing the work I did actually, helping scientists make their work more accessible is that it's usually not.
It's usually not.
I will say that the scientists I know, and some of them are very well-known, very famous scientists, are the least arrogant people I've ever met.
that scientists in general, their personalities are more open, more humble, more likely to say they just don't know.
Because I've been involved a lot in the science writing and how the media portrays.
So one of scientists, the scientific community's greatest frustration is how their work gets presented in the media.
And a lot of the time, I would say that's the main frustration is there's some new breakthrough, there's something.
And the scientists will be saying, we're not sure.
It's going to take five years.
And no one likes to write a story about something that may or may not be true.
They think it's true.
They're going to take five years testing it.
And so the headline will be neuroscientists discovered they want this sensational.
And so I think
The public often gets the false impression that the scientists are arrogant.
And I really don't find that to be the case.
And I've worked with all kinds of people, artists and...
My life path has taken a strange... You've met some incredible people.
Well, then, I mean, so I have to get clear on what you're asking.
So are you coming from a place of wondering if we are the only conscious mammals?
