So how can we make sure we have a seat at the table to make sure that change is good?

And that's something that I think about a lot.

Yeah.

One of my favorite items in a museum of all time is a bit of moon rock, which is at the Natural History Museum.

And when I feel like, oh, this climate works a bit much, how will we ever get to where we need to be?

I remember that.

We went to the moon.

We sent people to the moon.

Why?

I mean, we all know why space race, international competition, that is extraordinary.

And when somebody had the idea that this was a thing we really should be doing, I'm sure most people thought it will never happen.

But we did.

And for rightly or wrongly in the technological advancements are not to be underestimated.

Did we really need to?

I don't know.

I'll let your listeners have their own answer to that.

But when I see that moon rock,

It's a visual symbol.

It's an object for me that reminds me that the impossible is only impossible until it's done.

It anchors it in truth and in this optimism that we can change things all the time if we have enough people who are really motivated to do that.
