The universe is an entropic place.
For those of you that don't know what entropy is, if Adam Ola shows you a video clip where the matches and the matchbox jump back into his hand and the matches jump back into the box, we all know time is going backwards.
We know it's going forwards because order goes to chaos.
And so we live in a disordered world that would crush us as biological agents.
We have to have a strategy to survive in a bubble.
And we survive by social agglomeration.
And we create more anti-entropy as an organization than individuals.
And we live inside that bubble.
But that bubble is constantly pressurizing us.
And very well, thanks, Edemola.
It sounds like you've been in America because only Americans describe my surname as Murin when it's really Murin in English.
I think you've been Americanized.
It's an honor to be here, Adam Moeller, and thank you for that kind introduction.
So I think the first day in a Papua New Guinean jungle, 20 years old, just out of university, surrounded by 60 Papua New Guinean cannibals, and with one mission, to cut a kilometre of jungle access line on a compass bearing every day in the most intense environment, dropped off in the middle of nowhere by the company I worked for and told to get them to work, and it was raining in the morning.
And I had one interpreter and I explained to the interpreter, we need to get them going by eight o'clock.
So get them on the helipad at half past seven.
And he said, boss, it's raining.
I said, I don't care if it's raining, just, you know, we need to talk to them.
And so as I stood above them talking to them, I said, look, in my country, women and babies work in the rain thinking it was motivational.
And it was just this epic silence.
