I remember sort of doing 1,000 people on a very much stream like this, answering and fielding questions, doing my best as a GP with the limited knowledge that we had
It wasn't prepared.
It wasn't, you know, sort of anything.
And, you know, you can make mistakes in that regard.
So it's always best if you can be prepared, much like a scouts.
That's why I said the scouts.
And this is very much that.
It's been prepared by significant senior clinicians who have experience in these sorts of fields, public health clinicians, et cetera.
So it's a serious document and hopefully will be taken as such.
We know that the National Security Risk Assessment Team, they're now sort of focusing more on the level of a risk rather than just whether or not it's going to happen.
So they're kind of going along with that.
We know the Royal Society said that if in 2010, if disclosure were to happen and non-human intelligence was around, there should be a public health response.
And it is becoming more mainstream.
Even Deloitte in 2026 this year looked at this as a potential sort of,
you know, sort of planning event, they use disclosure as the event, although they didn't say that we thought it was going to happen.
They use it as an event.
So it's becoming a bit more mainstream.
So that's sort of interesting.
Any big paradigm shifting thing needs to be prepared for, I believe.
And this report doesn't just hold true for alien disclosure or something of that nature.
