on the research, because the same complex circuitry that allows poor kids to be malnourished, in the US we have horrible levels of childhood obesity. And so as we're learning that, new drugs like these GLP-1 obesity drugs, that as they get cheaper are going to have a profound effect, that's the type of innovation coming out. And yet, you know, we didn't understand that until very recently.

Almost certainly not. Oh, really? Yeah, I mean, our kids sit in front of the TV more than any other kids. So lack of activity alone explains most of this. Wow. And... You know, sadly, when your parents are obese, the likelihood that you'll be obese goes up pretty dramatically.

And so the U.S., in many respects, drug addiction, obesity, we're, you could say, as the world's richest country, all the problems of being rich are worse in the U.S. than they are anywhere else. We're also the most innovative, though. And, you know, that's why I'm... I'm not a pessimist at all. I do think— Wait, so it's just apathy? Is that what it is? No, your TV shows are too entertaining.

Exactly. It's all your fault.

Exactly. It's all your fault.

Yeah, so I'm very involved in that because You know, we have to both do climate mitigation and climate adaptation. And adaptation, a part of that's dealing with water shortages and more difficult weather. It takes a certain amount of energy to desalinate water.

And so only by bringing the cost of energy down with things like solar or perhaps nuclear fission or fusion, then you get more water availability. 80% of water is used for agriculture. So you can afford to desalinate water for human consumption. You can't really afford to do it for agriculture, so you have to end up moving your farms to the places where there's enough water.

You don't want to pay to desalinate just to grow water.
