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.

Any wisdom I had got tapped out long ago, but I'll do my best for Richard and Karina.

If we wait until things are perfect, then we will never get anything done.

And if we say, well, I've got to get my house 100 percent in order before I ever

do anything else well then you'll never do anything else because your house will never be 100 in order we have to recognize that imperfection is the norm um and we need to be working on the big problems the the ones that are most um life-threatening or or the ones that are important for quality of life or continuance of existence or whatever we got to work on those but

If we wait until we get those completely nailed down and perfect, then we will wither and die as a species, because we have to be doing the other things as well.

Watching my grandchildren is fascinating.
