I have had two children and most of their lives have been defined by pandemics, by disaster, by socio-political upheaval. You never stop and think about it, but we lived and we grew up in a period in which we had great ease. The world was a very peaceful place in the context of history. But Josh, it wasn't about sapiens. Have you guys read?

I wrote half of it. Think about what you've all said. We are living in the greatest time of prosperity and peace in the history of mankind.

I'm just saying our parents. Our parents definitely lived through a period of upheaval, the likes of which resonates with what we're going through today. Political leaders being assassinated one after another. The world on the precipice of nuclear war. My parents hiding under their desks. That was not my experience in the peaceful and prosperity bubble that I lived in in the 1980s and 1990s.

Now, that is not to say that everything was perfect, but it is certainly not to say that it wasn't better than what I'm raising my kids through right now, which is climate change is an existential crisis. The world seems like it's on the brink of chaos on a daily basis. We had a first of its kind pandemic the first time in a century. We're doing this as half our city is on fire.

So it's that proximity to chaos. And that is not to say that areas of the world, Haven't experienced this.

It's happening on a global level. And it's not to say that there hasn't been places that have been directly affected by genocide, by starvation, by all sorts of crises during the past 40 years. But this period feels particularly dark.

Like, what are we turning over? That's 100% true. And it's also, I think, frustrating that we don't learn from history that when it comes to, for instance, geopolitical conflict, there are certain things outside of our control. The pandemic, for the most part, was outside of anyone's control. This virus. This is outside of anyone's control. Yeah.
