And as the bulk of humans on the planet, I'm sure we'll go in many directions.
But, you know, I think we should really prioritize what are the things we want to, you know, almost philosophically are the most important for us to learn about.
And as each individual, we should decide what path do we want to go down.
We're flooded with information.
Information is pushed at us and it's information we don't even necessarily need.
We're actually going to maybe need to improve the signal to noise ratio by reducing the noise and improving the signal by focusing on the things that matter both individually and as a society.
So right now I'm working on, this is a very silly thing, but it's a portable houseboat.
It's this little boat that you can sleep on.
You can spend the night in, but it collapses like IKEA furniture and you could put it in the back of your car.
You can FedEx it to anywhere in the world.
Oh my gosh.
And so the newest thing I've been thinking about is how do I make it so regular people
can go spend the night on a boat out in, you know, this is an inland water boat for Stillwaters, but, you know, go down a canal or on a lake and just spend the night in nature.
It maybe seems a little bit strange, but more recently I've been thinking a lot more about that context question and trying to get a grasp of how the big picture works.
And a lot of that is an internal exploration.
It's about...
What are the ways I can really focus on the feeling of wonder?
I'd say the theme of my interest in exploration has always been the sort of right at the edge between fear and curiosity, going into that dark cave as a little boy and not knowing what I'd find, or the darkness of space that seems so vast and intimidating, or the depth of the sea.
And there's that thing where you're kind of afraid to go, but curiosity makes you want to go even further.
Mm-hmm.
