So that's one side of it.

But it could also tell you that maybe in this area, generally, there's been droughts continuously.

We should really invest in some irrigation infrastructure.

And so being able to come from what we measure and predict and learn over time and connecting it to we should have irrigation infrastructure here and that irrigation infrastructure arrives, whole different story.

This is a fascinating question.

I'm in different places that give me different contexts.

So it helps me understand a little bit better what the perception is on one side to make it relevant on the other side.

Everything is connected in some sense.

And so I want to kind of give an example of why these different contexts matter so much.

So

When we think about Madagascar, one of my favorite places nowadays, I talk about it a lot.

We usually read about biodiversity loss.

We see maps on deforestation.

We see all these challenges, right?

So from an outside perspective, this is the perspective you will gain.

And you will be worried and you would, you know, put on your boots and you want to go do something about it.

However, if you were in Madagascar,

and you're an everyday person, and you are actually trying to fend for your family, and you don't have options, there's not much else anybody could do.

If the only thing that you have is the wood from that tree to make a meal for your child, that is the only option, right?

So depending on what room you're in, how you hear it will inform what you think about people's actions.
