And so you could be the most fundamentalist Jewish person.

You have to enter into the debate about meaning because there you can't just say this is what the original thing means.

And I think that's the case here.

We're entering into this new phase of just what it means to be a human.

And we need to be challenging everything and exploring everything and continually asking, what does it mean to be a human?

But we don't need to invent new morality.

As a matter of fact, I think it's dangerous to say that we need to invent new morality because we have these wonderful traditions and these wonderful principles.

And every religion has them.

But in our globalized world, it's hard for us to say, oh, my one group or your one group has an absolute monopoly on truth.

As a matter of fact, anyone who is saying that I think can be actually quite dangerous.

And it's like, why wouldn't we say, well, what are the things that we can learn from all of these traditions?

What are the common themes?

What are areas where maybe one tradition has done something really beautiful?

Like Buddhism, which I really love, has a great tradition of how to think about,

the process of self-exploration.

And Judaism, I believe, is very thoughtful about the process of mourning, how to have a structure after somebody dies.

And Christianity, I think, is fantastic, thinking about forgiveness and letting go.

And every tradition has these things.

And so my feeling is, like, if we could have, I would love it if somebody said, we're going to have

a group of 100 wise people, and they're going to come from all different backgrounds and all over the world, and we're going to bring people together, and we're going to say, we really love all of our traditions, and we're not against them, we're not trying to supplant them in any way, but these 100 diverse wise people
