I'm not sure. I'm going to have to think about that question. But what does come to mind is an answer that was given to me similarly, right, by a man, by Ed Mitchell, who went to the moon. And he was the sixth man to walk on the moon. And so his opinion, I think, might count a little more than mine on that subject because his lens is so much greater. And Mitchell was...

vilified when he got back from the moon because it became known that he believed in things like extrasensory perception and this kind of mystical, metaphysical way of looking at the world. And he really suffered from that. I mean, he was ridiculed and he lost a lot of his career and his friends. But what he said to me in our interview about his trip home,

from the moon answers that great filter question, I think, in a way I might want to adopt, right? Which is this, that he said that as they were returning from the moon to earth, he looked down at the earth and, and I'm paraphrasing him, I write all this in Phenomena, an earlier book, but the paraphrasing is that he looked down from the earth and

And it was 1971, and he thought about all the conflict going on down below, particularly the Vietnam War, where many of his friends were. And then he looked behind him into the great vast galaxy. And he had a moment, he says, that was like an epiphany. Like not a near-death experience, but a sort of near-life experience, right?

Where he believed that the human consciousness, which is where so much of this thoughtfulness about metaphysics and ESP perhaps come from, Mitchell's theory was that human consciousness, the way to understand it had something to do with realizing that man's inner life and man's outer life are deeply connected in the same way that man is connected to the galaxy.

And he said it much more eloquently, but you kind of get the idea that and I think it's why humans have always loved to look up, right? Um, that, that there's more there. And it's a bit like the wish. It's like the, it's like the big version of the wishing tree, you know, what do I wish for, for myself?

And what is maybe perhaps the, the realignment of thinking for those of us in search of happiness, right? And rather instead of war is, um, what does it mean to have a conscience, to have consciousness? What does it mean to be a thinking person? What does it mean to be on this earth, to be born, to live, to die? And then there is legacy.
