Darwin, of course, was famous for his theory of evolution.

He was a theorist.

Heard about this story from a zoologist named Alfred Brim, who gave a story about these monkeys that saw a snake inside of a bag.

This was an experiment that he did.

A monkey would look inside the bag and scream, and then another monkey would come up and look inside the bag and scream and run away.

The other monkeys had to come up and see it because he survived.

That other monkey survived.

He was fine.

And he signaled danger.

So I kind of want to know what that thing is.

And that's a very similar thing to, oh, this thing is terrible.

You don't want to see it.

Now I kind of do.

Yeah, I didn't know that until later on.

It's like a combination mineral, right?

The unfortunate thing is if you search my name, there aren't a lot of people with my name that is spelled C-O-L-T-A-N.

The only other thing in the world that's spelled like that is this like slave mining that happens in the Congo.

Yeah, I feel like I have people like that in my life where they do something interesting, but it's so morally opaque.

And I'm like, I don't know if I can be close to you, but they're like a lens into another part of the world.

Exactly.
