Yeah, Charles Darwin.

Oh, okay.

Charles Darwin, the Beagle.

Okay.

And he went down to the Galapagos Islands and formulated the theory of evolution, that this really isn't a God-made thing.

It just all kind of happened.

And so I think it's fascinating that 1837 is the year that we were told we're all just NPK.

God didn't have anything to do with it.

And Cyrus McCormick invented the Reaper, which is the official beginning of the Industrial Revolution.

1837, which threw out the scythe.

So before then, the only way to cut grass or grain or whatever it was, a scythe.

And the reaper mechanized that.

That's the official beginning of it.

And all that happened in 1837, all at the same time.

And so since then, our Western, our Greco-Roman Western reductionist disconnected, fragmented culture.

linear reductionist kind of society took that and went farther and farther with it and their technology enabled us to do things and then cheap energy came the petroleum came so we didn't have to worry we didn't have to rely on draft power anymore you know horses and mules and all that oxen and

and it liberated us from the alleged constraints of biology of life.

And, and we were able to take this mechanistic view toward life to its extreme point to where now, well, you're just some DNA.

We can take a little bit of salmon and a tomato and a little bit of a poison Ivy plant.

And we can, we can make something new.
