Yeah. Well, dinosaurs as well. The theory on why they died out is interesting. So we randomly assigned gender, and they assigned gender on the basis of temperature. So when the asteroid hit, the dust didn't kill all the dinosaurs. What happened was... Every dinosaur was born female in the next generation because the temperature cooled. Some lizards still do it.
They assign gender by what the temperature is. So if the temperature falls, you go, right, okay, everyone's female. And when the temperature is above a certain amount, everyone's male. So there's a generation of all female or all male, whatever it was, dinosaurs. What a flaw.

Yeah, but because the temperature we always assume is static, and we don't see the geological changes over time in temperature.

We've got to fucking wipe these things out. Is there another world where there's dinosaurs with AI? Because if they're coming, we're fucked.

Well, it's a weird thing. You said it earlier about the idea of, like, our... Competitive advantage, right? You drop one guy in the jungle, you've fed the animals. Drop 10 guys and you have an apex predator, right? Cooperation is our superpower. And for me, cooperation is downstream of play. Play is everything. We're the playing animal.

Someone wrote a book about this in the 1930s about how we are designed to play. Our culture is about play and kids play. And you go, well, that cooperation is what leads to all of this. And weirdly, the Catholic Church, I didn't say this earlier, but the Catholic Church has got a lot to be grateful for. Because in the 12th century, the Catholic Church banned cousin marriage.

And the reason they did it was because they realized the tribe was more important than the church. And they hated that. Right. So the unintended consequence was they said, you can't marry your cousin or your second cousin or your third cousin down to the sixth cousin. Really? And they broke the tribes. Now, when you break tribes, what happens?

Well, you form small family groups and then you have to trust people. So trust builds. And then from trust, you get guilds and associations and a legal system and everyone. Because before that, it's like, well, you're a cousin. You trust him. It's family.
