That's why I asked. He made it for, we did these gigs, I talk about them later, called Symphonic Horizons, which were the, shows with cosmology, but also symphony orchestra. And he was exploring these issues, actually. But most of the music was Strauss's Zarathustra, which is based on Nietzsche's book. So it's kind of exploring these questions, actually, of what's the point of existence.

If you acquire so much knowledge that you're essentially a god by any description and so much power and you become effectively immortal, which is what our descendants in the far future could be, as you said, these AI descendants. Right. What's the point of living?

I mean, I thought this a while ago. I remembered I was talking to someone and they said, yeah, I'm not worried about this. I'm not worried about the fact that AI could become more intelligent than us. What was it going to be like when we're not the smartest things on the planet? This might be just a few years.

You can decide exactly... And as you said, the definition of what is best is a moral decision that we make.

Well, that's one of the arguments. I spoke to Robert Zubrin, who wrote these wonderful books about colonizing space. And so he's a fascinating character. And I spoke to him once, and he made this very simple argument that, as you said, one of the problems we have is competition for resources.
