this is epic yeah like cool yeah you do you you know yeah and that's why i want you to talk about it because i think there's lots of people who feel that way yeah who who don't see it as an option at all for them to even get to do it to get to do it to even consider doing it yeah and you did it even though it is totally not something that you enjoy doing that you would choose to do yeah you still did it i did it probably because i had this like you know um

Thanks for sharing about your home.

Sorry if it brings up any PTSD.

Would you sell the vision to me a little bit?

You know, you've got this huge ambition to raise 300 million.

And I imagine the only way that you're going to raise that money is by telling people what this country is going to look like if you get to do that, or what certain parts of this place are going to look like if you get to do that.

Or I won't.

I'm just thinking there, it's interesting comparing it to the housing problem, right?

The nature problem we have and comparing it to the housing problem and thinking about the skills that we have, right?

And in our society and the culture that we've built up, we have skills that are about getting shit done and being efficient and doing things at a large scale, which those skills could really help the housing problem.

Are they the same skills that we need to help the nature problem?

Or is it actually something different?

Is that the resistance?

Is it that we don't actually have the naturally, instinctually now, we're not using the right tools to fix the problem?

Yeah, and that's funny.

I had two other questions in my head that were coming up, but then that makes me feel like what I said before, where

The skills that we currently value in our society, which lead us towards growth and efficiency and those kinds of things, that's the spot for them.

It's like, how do you build the industry of nature restoration?

Because there's people out there who have those skills.

That is their skill set and they need somewhere to put it.
