And and you just isn't that wonderful and amazing to think about that, that this entire thing could be living inside you and thinking and making like all these decisions.

And then, of course, it has to face this ultimate challenge.

It has to get out of you back into the world.

And, you know, that's like a really fraught moment.

Because if you think about it, so for example, when they go into the nostrils of camels or deer or maybe even people occasionally, that doesn't happen very often.

Let me not terrify too many listeners.

They have to get out.

So what they do is they like tickle the inside of the nose.

And so the animal sneezes.

And now they've got to, they shoot out like a rocket, you know, flying across and they've got to land in the right place because if they land on, on like, you know, the wrong place, they could, that could be it.

That could be the end of their life.

And they've invested so much in getting to this point.

So, you know, there's all like these risks they've got to overcome and all these probabilities that are sort of stacked against them.

And yet somehow they make it, you know, somehow they make it and they're out there in the world just being fabulous, which is wonderful.

I believe that we all have the ability to see the details of nature, but I really don't think it's me.

I'm not very special.

I'm just, you know, holding onto that childlike wonder that everybody has.

But I also know that we as humans have this incredible ability

to see detail and to engage with it.

And we have all these senses that we can experience the world with.
