And so I'm curious about, I think you've been, I mean, I know you're out on the road speaking all the time and I believe that this film has become a point of conversation,
I wonder if you could speak to us a little bit about your sense of the state of our collective grappling with this film, but not restricted to that, to the state of our civilizational grappling.
You know, you have to be of a certain age to recall the effect of that film, which I very much do.
I was living in Cold War Berlin, and I remember watching it with Germans.
When we had 6,000 nuclear missiles, we, the United States, stationed on their ships.
in their country, when children in that country at that time drew pictures of their backyard, they would often have kind of where the missile is, somewhere out in the field next door.
Wow.
I've been reflecting on that feeling now with our existential crises, the truly existential crises of this century, because humanity has had cataclysm and mass destruction before,
Our ecological reckoning makes us special, and I think now our technological reckoning is existential in a new way.
But, you know, just to circle back to the human work here and the human challenge, there's almost something comforting in those memories of the Cold War, because you knew where the missiles were.
And there was process around it that was transparent.
It was dangerous.
It was scary.
It has felt to me in these years, and not so much with AI, because this is the whole new thing, but with social media, which you've also been really engaged with.
that our immature reception of the internet, of social media, has had the power to weaponize each and every one of us.
Yeah.
Right?
Absolutely.
That existential threat is personalized.
Which also means that there is a personal dimension to approaching this in, again, I want to use this word, a generative, life-giving way.
