And a lot of the structures of that, it used to be, well, you had a community, everybody grew up in the same town.

And so you knew where you fit in, or maybe you had a faith community or a church or something.

And a lot of those communities have gone away.

There's this huge loneliness.

People really feel isolated and lonely.

And things are changing so fast, right?

That they don't know where to turn for even a way to get started.

Imagine this.

We have this linear accelerator at Stanford.

It's not as big as it used to be because we had bigger ones now.

But this one's pretty good.

It still runs.

And I can put you in the tube and fire you to the end of the accelerator.

It's two miles long.

And by the time you get to the end, you're going 99.999% the speed of light, at which point you will experience the multiverse.

And you can have as many lives as you want simultaneously.

You could be the astronaut and the ballerina and the stay-at-home mom and whatever you want.

And you'll know about all the universes at the same time.

And then we ask, I said, on the count of three, one, two, three, tell me how many lives you want.

I go one, two, three, and people go everywhere from one, the really bored, burned out guy, to infinity.
