And just because you can train a European runner to compete at nearly the same level, that doesn't mean that there's not something special about people like Kipchoge.
And so, you know, this comes up a lot with the Bajo as well.
People say, oh, well, you know, they don't hold the free diving depth record.
People say, oh, well, you know, they don't hold the free diving depth record. It's like, well, yeah, but they're not training to hold that record. You know, they're training, they're diving just to collect food for their families. They're not training. So what would happen if we did train them? And I think it's a great point.

Yeah, I mean, I think certainly, you know, I mean, there's an interesting correlation between people in STEM fields and having family members with autism. And so I was actually at a lecture in Princeton where the professor – asked the incoming class of students, you know, how many of you have a family member with autism?

asked the incoming class of students, you know, how many of you have a family member with autism?
And then of those, you know, he displayed the statistics, how many of you are joining the engineering department? And it was, you know, it was much higher amongst the engineers. And he explained that this can have to do with the fact that, I mean, people on the spectrum tend to have an ability to hyper focus.

And that actually makes you, you know, the ability to really kind of narrow yourself to this one thing can make you a really good engineer. And so in that way, it's, you know, it's a huge advantage because it's allowing you to succeed in that field, you know, depending obviously where you are on that spectrum and how that affects you in other ways.
And that actually makes you, you know, the ability to really kind of narrow yourself to this one thing can make you a really good engineer.
