So now hold on.
I don't want to overstep this.
It was 12 people.
They had diagnoses of dementia and they had more microplastics in their brains than people who didn't have dementia diagnoses.
Yeah, exactly.
It's startling, but we don't know.
And but here's the thing, though, is, you know, if you compare it like the existential threats to humanity, climate change is a big one.
But climate change is one I feel that we can mitigate with technology.
So we can manage things, even if we should be, we need to manage climate change, of course, because it has huge implications.
But here, this is one where it's, once the plastics are in your brain, this is, I don't know how we can manage that with technology, or at least at the moment, we have nothing for it.
So we have this existential threat to our biology.
We don't understand the implications from it.
And it's only getting worse, not better.
So I, as a scientist, I look at all this data and I say, this is scary.
Exactly.
And it's good water.
You know, it's good, good water that comes out.
That's what we drink in our house.
And I don't want to spend money on bottled water.
It's free.
