Okay.

I feel like...

It just takes so long to learn things and to solve problems.

Academics are great at slowing things down.

I mean, we have internal review boards.

We might have the answers, not me personally, but collectively, we might have the answers.

And what if we don't get there in time?

What if the complete collapse of American democracy or the nuclear war or whatever it is like comes before we figure out not just the basic science, but I said, it's an engineering problem.

Like we have to figure out

how to build these things.

I feel like to me, it's just, gosh, how can we solve these problems as fast as possible?

That's what kind of just drives me nuts.

I mean, it's just an unbelievable privilege to work with the people that I work with.

The paper that we're about to publish, this is with a graduate student named Lucas Woodley, who's next door, who is just a joy working with him.

And Evan DeFilippis was the grad student who started this work.

He's amazing.

And Shankar Ravi is our tech guy on this, and he's been great.

So working with these people and the people of the Global Development Incubator

Andrew Stern is the head of it, and Therese Semple Smith has been working on this for a long time.

I don't want to go down the whole list, but like, it's great.
