I think I'm correct in looking at the world now in 2022 and thinking, okay, we're maturing a bit, at least much of the world is maturing out of this idea of, okay, this particular ancient religion that I was taught is the truth.

Yeah.

But anyway, I hope that's right.

Yeah.

I mean, so this is gonna be my next cup.

So I'm running three companies right now, but this is going to be my next one is called live wire because I'm really interested in building this.

I mentioned this before.

I just feel like the way we think about building all our technology now and the way that everything is set up, our factories are set up and our education system is set up is okay.

Yeah.

You make a hardware layer and then you put software on top of it.

And that's been a great idea and it's been super successful, but it's just not the way that biology ever does anything.

And biology can do extremely

extraordinary things that computers cannot.

And as I mentioned earlier, computers are obsolescent from the day they come off the factory.

So I'll give an example, which is the Mars rover.

I can't remember if it was Spirit or Curiosity, one of them.

Anyway, it got up to Mars.

It did an extraordinary job, rolled around the red planet and saw lots of stuff.

But then it got its right front wheel stuck in the Martian soil and it couldn't move out of there and it died.

Okay, contrast that with what happens when a wolf gets its leg caught in a trap.
