And that's probably why this you get this like fake extended childhood we're seeing today where it's like, oh, I'm still a kid in my 20s because the world's just getting more complex.

Learning how to be a human in the world is just getting harder.

Because things are evolving, technology is evolving so quickly that we never feel like really prepared.

And I think that plays into this morbid curiosity story really well, too, because if you have complex social lives and complex food gathering, you're also going to encounter lots of complex threats, especially since humans aren't native to anywhere like migratory species.

Right.

We've conquered the entire Earth.

And so every time we go somewhere new, we're going to run into a new kind of threat that we've never seen before, whether it's an illness or a predator or a new tribe with dangerous people.

And so it just takes time to learn how to be a human, including learning what's dangerous to us.

Yeah.

It was a blast.

Thank you.
