That whole thing is astonishing.

Is it?

As a technology, these poor little silky fat worms were bred to like over silk and get like super fat and just make loads of silk in, I don't know, 1200s maybe?

Or I don't know.

Totally.

I think we forget a lot.

I think humans, while we're amazing pattern matching machines, imagination, curiosity, driven by emotion, gut instinct, all that, all these different sensory inputs that our brains use to make us make decisions on most of the time not enough information.

And somehow we're all still here.

It's an optimization thing.

bio-optimization.

So the things, I know I talked a bit about my grandparents and whatever, but it's the skills and the technology.

It's not like a nostalgia, like a landscape photo donkey.

It's more like the technology, the practices.

How did people raise like so many children?

How do they feed them all?

And that transformation between that generation, like my grandparents on my mom's side into her and her siblings, they were some of the best educated people coming out of the county.

Like some of my cousins and my uncles are amazing entrepreneurs, engineers.

One of my cousins is a meteorologist.

Like amazing mathematician, like super, super bright and brainy people.

Like in my lifetime, I can remember the farm that they grew up on and the farm that fed them, that made them the people that they are, that me and all my cousins in this crazy ass WhatsApp group are now all in, you know?
