As I sit here today,

I have no idea how that happens.

There's no internet when this starts, right?

This idea, how is it that the same things, it's like beyond Jungian.

There is this original human algorithm.

And I'm saying this story because what I was going to propose for the last thing was a moment of hope.

We're turning fear into hope.

And what I've been doing, inspired by a woman who had a miscarriage and felt shame and wrote out the feelings of shame, throwing it into the water, I was going to suggest at the end is that you have people take a, because this is what I did at TED and some others I've done recently, that you take a pebble and you write out a hope for yourself for the future.

And then you take that pebble, walk to the middle of the room and turn it upside down.

And as you know, the last funeral, the 10 funerals I went to, was of a man who died by suicide in Dublin.

And I went to this memorial service in the crematorium.

And as the body was being, as the curtain was being closed, the woman, incredible woman, her Instagram name is Bald Priestess, she said, conflict.

We're here to honor the life of Carl and to deal with our own confusion about how Carl chose to end his life.

And I have here a bowl of pebbles, and I invite you to come and take one.

Keep it as a memory of it was from where he died.

Keep it as a memory of Carl or return it to nature.

And so what I ask people to do is exactly what you just described, and that's why I told that story about the Marula beer.

Then everybody goes to the center of the room, takes the stone with someone else's hope, reads it out loud, and then we have created this web of hope.

So I love this.

So then you could have people.
