Civilization is very young.

Like we're only 10,000 years into what could be a million year civilization, but we've got to take this first step, um, off the planet and into the solar system.

And, um,

if we fucked this up before we get off the planet, like... Big L. Yeah.

Peter Thiel has a very interesting observation of how high a percent of the successful founders, especially in tech, seem to be somewhere on the spectrum.

And he's like, what does it say about our society that the people who have a biological advantage in technology

de-emphasizing the opinions of others are the ones who more reliably seem to achieve an outlier success.

Yeah.

And I think so many of us forget that we, you know, it's almost like we're in the matrix unless we make the willful effort to break out of it.

And we have this bias to defend the status quo, no matter what it is, without even really ever thinking critically about it.

And so most of us, when we hear something like somebody's disrupting and radically innovating something new.

We're just kind of like, ah, do we really need that?

Isn't it fine the way it is?

Especially as we get older or as we get comfortable with that thing.

You know, there's a great like Douglas Adams line of like everything invented before you're 30 is like a new miracle.

And to be appreciated and everything invented after you're 30 is like a crime against humanity and a sin and should not be created.

That was in your episode about female- Intersexual competition.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I truly don't know what to call it.
