in the human mind that was able to produce heat potent enough to dry not one cold sheet, but two cold sheets. And this is a great, of course, the great mystery of, or this is the great sort of, kind of sources of curiosity of like, oh my God, we've just barely begun to learn anything. It's like when you bring a torch out into the vast night sky, what is revealed? Like even more blackness.

So every time you learn something, it reveals, oh my God, how much do I not know? And of course, this is the inexorable march of science. And yeah, I mean, this is why it's so exciting to be alive and be curious. Yeah, infinitely humbling. Yeah, it's like, oh my God, we are just this little delegated adaptability of this massive project.

Yeah, and that's, you know, it's totally humbling. And, you know, science and spirituality... have been unduly cleaved as if they're two different things, but they're not, you know? They both, at their best, evolve and are humble and are always asking why, you know? And challenge and open to modification and new observation. And this is why, you know, Buddhism for me...

And Taoism to some degree and to some degree Zen are my sort of preferred modalities because they're not stagnant. They don't exist in one unmodifiable dusty old scroll. What they're actually... They're built to continually transform and grow with the Sangha. So it's like... In a way, I find Eastern religions and science to be actually one and the same thing in many cases.

Yeah, I mean, I think you point to some

aspect of society right now, which is very, very sad, which is this distension and morbidity that, you know, for the last 15, 20 years of many people's lives, you know, we're essentially limping through life, managing chronic diseases with cocktails of pharmaceuticals that never really address root cause and just sort of mask symptoms for a little bit of time, et cetera.

And, you know, that form of suffering radiates out in so many different ways. I mean, it's obviously the individual that's suffering, but family members and caregivers and the societal expense and the erosion of the importance that we used to put on our elders, you know, these... vessels of accumulated experience that we used to look to for wisdom, now we look to our elders as elderly, right?

And they're often a nuisance, and we just ship them off, you know, whatever. We'd never do that with Confucius or Lao Tzu. So, yeah, I mean, I am not an immortalist. You know, I don't have escape velocity dreams per se. I think on some level we're pre-coded to die. I think life wouldn't be life without death. There sort of exists within a unity of opposites.
