We built dams so that we could redirect the natural flow of rivers, like the ones that God designed, for the sake of storing water to

live in cities and feed people.

And so I think that even though cloud seeding does have to do with the sky, which feels like heaven and thus feels closer to God for some reason, it really just is another

instantiation of like the mandate that God gave us to be good stewards of the planet.

And so do I think I'm playing God?

No.

Do I think the technology is sick?

Yeah.

But I think that this is like an act of service.

And I mean, I say that with

the understanding that I am a sinner and that I am a faulty man and that I will fall short.

And so I look to the guidance of my peers and mentors and other people all around me and hope that the US government regulates this appropriately.

But so far, I think we've done pretty good at managing that.

Yeah.

You know, so Doge, super, a lot of stuff has been said about Doge, about the Department of Government Efficiency.

But one of the guys in Doge, one of the first picks for it, is another Thiel fellow from my class named Luke Ferreter.

He is...

Like 10 out of 10 brilliant, 140 through 160 IQ or something.

Super faithful kid, grew up in Oklahoma.

Or excuse me, in Nebraska.
