It's E to the I pi minus one equals zero. It's amazing because you have these three quantities. You have E. which is the natural logarithm, which is like this 2.78 blah, blah, blah. And then you have pi, 3.14159. And then you have i, which is for imaginary numbers. And those three, there's no reason that those should all relate.

The irrational numbers, yes. And they all came from very different sources, but they all come together at this magical moment. Oh, wow. And it's mind blowing. Wow. Like to a mathematician, it shouldn't be. Yeah. And it's like one of those moments where you're like, the universe makes sense.

By the way, I feel like that's where I believe in a higher power. Yes.

There's structure. There's some kind of beauty that makes sense. And that's out there. And when we discover it, we get a glimpse of it. It's like there's something beyond us. I had that one little taste of it. Yeah. That I'll never forget. And that really influenced me. I know it's out there. And I think that's when these breakthroughs happen. In 2012, you had the one breakthrough with AI.

And then in 2022, the second one was ChatGPT. And that has changed so much. And so many people are in robotics, by the way. That's the new wave that everybody's excited about. But now we'll have to wait for the next one. If you look at it, it's every 10 years or more when we get another breakthrough. And I think we need a few more breakthroughs.

Exactly, Dax. You're the anthropologist. Punctuated equilibrium, you have a sort of plateau and then there's a breakthrough or a change. And then there's a long plateau where it kind of gets digested and everything. But that's really what progress looks like.

You would think it's just this nice linear. Not at all. And people say exponential. That's not the case at all. We're not living in exponential times. Most technologies do not increase like that. There'll be a little breakthrough and then a long. Look at air travel. Hasn't really improved. There was a huge jump when it started. Yeah. And we have had things like carbon fiber planes.

And there's definitely things to make it more energy efficient. But in terms of comfort level.
