Well, A, there's something implicit in what you've said that's quite frightening if true, and that is for – If it were the case that life becomes intelligent, develops artificial intelligence, and then we wouldn't count it as life anymore, that implies the extinction of all of the things that were not the immediate precursors of the AI, right?

Maybe, but I mean, what I hate to think is that AI results in all of the biology of Earth ceasing to exist.

Oh, it certainly could, but I was just responding to your sense that there wouldn't be life elsewhere because it turns into AI.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, I do want to tag something here then. There's a a theme that is increasingly a focus of mine because it pays a lot of dividends once you start tracking it, which is this distinction between complicated things and complex things, and importantly, the distinction between the mindset with which you approach truly complex things versus the mindset in which you approach complicated things.

So A, I think we have a lot of folks who have gotten very, very good at complicated things and that when they take over complex things, they inevitably fuck them up, right? So in part, our interventionist sense of the way medicine should work is a bunch of complicated problem solving in a complex system where it is destined to create harm. And I think we are going to see that again and again.
