And Claude said, remember, the Copernican moments in the end have always been moments of expansion, right?
The universe got bigger, not smaller.
Science got more exciting, not less exciting.
Yeah, but optimistic things and a kind of muscular hope, which is an act of imagination that has real world consequences.
This is the only way we've ever moved forward.
It's the only way anything new has come into the world.
Are you familiar with Teilhard de Chardin?
A Jesuit paleontologist, early 20th century, was involved in the literal discovery and documentation of human, biological human evolution, which Arthur C. Clarke said is coming to an end.
And Teilhard also, he had this vision that the biosphere...
would be wrapped eventually with what he called the noosphere, which is the realm of knowing, which would be the products of human intelligence and imagination.
And I've been looking at TR all of this century, and it was so incredible how it sounds like the internet, but actually it sounds more like...
what is now happening with AI.
And he predicted, and I love that you invoked Joanna Macy, who passed just a few months ago, and I think she would be so thrilled, and from somewhere in the cosmos in Einstein's block time, she's with us now.
He predicted that the next stage, also that biological evolution would end, but that the next stage would have to be spiritual evolution.
And that sounds like also, I mean, I think to turn the question, which I feel like you just did, to, of course, the question of what's it going to do next, what's going to happen, what can go wrong, but what is it calling us to, which also is a muscle that the spiritual traditions have cultivated distinctively.
You mentioned Carl Sagan a minute ago, and I think the question that the film asked is kind of, it used the parenting analogy.
And of course, I was thinking about Joy Harjo, the Muskoga Creek, former U.S.
Poet Laureate, who said, you know, if you have children...
you don't get a choice about whether you're hopeful, right?
She said, children are the rudder of our hope.
