Now, that's really towards the end of my life.

My son will probably be the one responsible for that rather than me.

But that's the time scale that I'm thinking about.

Wow, you've really played this out.

You're thinking real long term.

Yeah, you know, I think that people used to think more like that.

There's that old adage, something like, a city grows great when men plant trees under the shade of which they will never sit, or something like that, right?

I think that if you are a Christian,

and you think about like helping build the kingdom of God, if you are a patriot and you want your nation to survive and persist and for future Americans to be better off than any previous generation, like you should sort of sacrifice your life, not necessarily like die, right?

But you should probably live your life in service to those future people.

That's what I'm trying to do.

I'm trying to serve God.

And so what I mean by that is in Genesis 1, 26 through 28, very beginning of time, Garden of Eden, pre-fall,

God gives us the mandate, like he commands us to take dominion over and steward the earth, the seas, the skies, and everything therein, right?

And so what that meant then was tending to the garden, right?

Like taking care of the plants, taking care of the animals.

The way that we've done that more and more over time is with technology and engineering, right?

Like we have lights so that we can

work safely at night.

We have fire, which is a technology so that we can cook our food or defend ourselves from wild animals.
