I think it will develop an emotional connection to the universe.

It will not be lonely and cold the way it is portrayed right now.

And that's a huge impact.

We would look up at the sky and imagine those other beings being there.

And it could inspire us to do better.

It's sort of like finding more additional families on your street.

It changes the meaning of your existence.

And when you find a partner, I often make the analogy with a dating partner, you know,

And of course, we never know if we go on a blind date, whether the dating partner will be friendly or a serial killer.

You know that?

You've never dated before.

Don't give dating advice, Avi.

That's what my wife says.

But it... It could be something that brings us all together.

It's finally something we have in common.

Yeah, but also it can change.

I mean, when I found my wife, it changed the meaning of my existence, right?

So because...

Your reality is changing.

There is now some other intelligent being out there that you can connect with.
