So...

So I'm quite excited about our ability to invent and create and do things that overall end up being better for the human condition.

And we're big enough now in population that we're slowly gaining a better awareness of that impact globally and what we're going to do about that.

You know, if there were only a thousand of us, we wouldn't have to worry.

But there's enough of us now that we just need to consider that and how we generate energy and

what we do with our garbage and stuff like that.

But we're also discovering just so much cool stuff right now.

We're discovering all of the small particles, the subatomic particles, things smaller than an atom.

And who knows, we may soon discover how to harness gravity.

I mean, like we learned how to harness electricity, how to move electrons around.

We have a probe going to one of the moons of Jupiter now that has more water.

That moon of Jupiter has more water than Earth.

And it has a heat source at the middle because of gravitational pulse.

Maybe there's life there.

We're drilling on Mars looking for fossils.

We have our James Webb and other telescopes actually analyzing the atmosphere of planets orbiting other stars.

to try and find out if we're alone in the universe or not.

And, yeah, there's all the troubles that we go through.

But at the same time, there's daily magnificence.

And I know which part I'm more interested in.
