An eighth grader learning about that in school really can't imagine 2,000 years. No. Much less imagine 50 years, what that time scale. Or even next week. Exactly. Yeah, yeah. But as you mature in the world, you're able to think about timescales that you simply weren't able to before.

Agreed, agreed. Okay, great. So where we get then is maturation leads to an ability to think long-term. It's this capacity to think about who do I want to be is something that requires experience and some amount of wisdom. And this is... I know that we share an interest in stories and how this can set... This can help us set an idea in our heads for, hey, that's... That's who I want to be.

I hadn't thought about this because my short-term networks have been having fun and I've been in elementary school and middle school and so on. But now I'm really starting to think about this and what impact I want to make in the world. Anyway.

When you have that idea in mind, even let's say, let's imagine a person is religious and really has established, hey, I want to be like this deity or this role model of any sort. There's always conflict though, right? Because then you've got temptations in front of you, all around you. And so there's always this rivalry.

I only mentioned this going back 10 minutes because the issue of, do these systems work out some sort of nice gameplay? Sort of, but there's also the fact that they're always in conflict. You're just always dealing with this, even when you have... Well, that's also... Well, maybe I would say...

That's right. Right. And this allows us to go back and tie two pieces together, which is that You know, the brain's job is really to burn things into the unconscious when it says, oh, I've got this, I've got that. This is a routine I've seen before, right? But the reason we're always conscious, the reason the brain's always burning a lot of energy is because the world throws lots of novelty at us.
