Charting the Architecture of the Universe & Human Life | Dr. Brian Keating

He would say it in jest. And it is true. We did reunite. And we did have a rapprochement. But it was after inventing this experiment, after I arrived at Caltech. It was. I mean, he was this kind of intellect. And it was so lovely to see you and your dad. You know, my wish for you is to have kind of an experience, maybe similar, maybe not. But when you do have kids and please God, you will.

um, you get to, you, you get a do over, you get to kind of correct the mistakes or the ways that you, and you'll never get it right. You know, one of my friends, a psychiatrist, he says, your job as a parent is to only pass on half of your neuroticism to your kids. And if every generation does that, you know, eventually be a perfect species.

But, um, but I, but I felt that passion and so forth to kind of best him. And then when we reunited and, and as I said, it no longer served me. But the trajectory that I had launched this experiment on continued unabated. And so that had this inertia, this momentum that couldn't be stopped.

In fact, so many people wanted a part of it and so much pressure was surrounding it that I think partially that led to me actually being kind of kicked out of the leadership of the experiment. And that was precipitated by a truly tragic event. So I told you, My advisor, Sarah Church, set up a job interview for me with her advisor when she was a postdoc at Caltech named Andrew Lang.

Andrew was like, at that time I was estranged from my dad. He was like a father figure. He was like, ever see the TV show Mad Men, like Don Draper? He's just like handsome, good looking. Everyone thought he was going to win a Nobel Prize. He was stolen from Berkeley. They spent tons of money to recruit him from Berkeley to come to Caltech. His wife was a power couple, Frances Arnold.

Again, she won the Nobel Prize a few years ago. And he just had the world at his fingertips, charming, funny. And he would say things like, you know, Brian, this is so unrealistic that we have to do it. Like he was a kid. He loved to play and he loved โ€“ he's the one who inspired me in this way of just โ€“ never stopping like that passionate curiosity and the reward that you get.

I always say, you know, when you solve a problem, your reward is a harder problem like that. But that if you're a scientist, that feels good because it's like I would say and I think it's one of your colleagues. I'm not I'm not sure so much good stuff and going on up there, but But there's this concept of finite games and infinite games, right? So I would say science is an infinite game.
