Like this is happening in this moment and then it's not happening anymore. This is what makes things valuable in a lot of ways. Like that they're not always on demand. That like, you know, you go somewhere and then you leave and like you're not there anymore. And they could only experience the thing when you were there. You can take a video and pictures, but you know they're never the same.

They remind you to some degree, but you can never really be there. It's like being, you know, I don't know, the Grand Canyon. Like there is no photograph that actually represents the Grand Canyon. Every photograph, the best photograph is purely an abstraction.

Um, because when you're there, the, the volume, the size, the, the, the, the, um, the scope of the thing leaves an impression that is impossible to capture in pixels. It just, you cannot. And there's other things like that. I mean, like love is like that. Like there's all these other things that were, these are feelings that can't be captured.

And that's kind of partially what makes them really, really special. Uh, and, um, you can't, we're not, I'm not suggesting that we, that you can do that necessarily digitally, but there's, there's some variations of that that I think would be fun to play with.

And I'd also just like to see, and this is not fair because there, there are, there's plenty of like fun software, but a lot of the, a lot of it is the software industry is too serious. It takes itself too seriously. And I just would like to see some more people playing with software, playing with ideas in these ways, not like creating games. Games are fun, obviously, but,

But not about the game mechanics so much, but just like conceptual ideas like that, like the shower door stuff is like more about playing with something. It's an idea that you're trying to simulate that sort of not like a flight simulator where it's like you're trying to do something very complicated in a sense, but just trying to actually simulate something very simple. I don't know.

Maybe there are plenty of things like that. There might be just like even sound apps or something that just like recreates the sound of nature. These things exist and whatever. So it's not like I'm not saying anything super novel here, but I'd like to see more of those kinds of things out there in the world.
