Yeah. I mean, this is, there's also another twist to that because after the, we humans are the only species that can control fire. That's the differentiator, means no other species can control fire. So that means we also control light. We also control warmth. And if you look at last 150 years of human history, human civilization,

So, for example, a few years ago, Horacio de la Iglesia, who is a professor in UW, University of Washington, did a very fundamental study. What he found was, well, most people, most parents who have high schoolers, they know that the high school students, they wake up just before the class begins and then you have to drag them to school.
