and it's been downloaded over a few hundred thousand times. And someone actually wrote to me and said, this is an example of really bad writing and what not to do. And I was like, if all of my papers got read this much, because that's the objective, if I have a publishing paper and want people to read it, I want to write that badly again.

Yes. The most exciting criticism came from the evolutionary biologists telling me that they thought that origin of life was a solved problem. And I was like, whoa, we're really onto something, because it's clearly not. And when you poked them on that, they just said, no, you don't understand evolution.

And I said, no, no, I don't think you understand that evolution had to occur before biology, and there's a gap. That was really, for me, the... That misunderstanding, and that did cause an immune response, which was really interesting. The second thing was the fact that physicists, the physicists were actually really polite, right? Really nice about it.

But they just said, huh, we're not really sure about the initial conditions thing, but this is a really big debate that we should certainly get into because the emergence of life was not encoded in the initial conditions of the universe. And I think assembly theory shows why it can't be. I'll say that again.

The emergence of life was not and cannot, in principle, be encoded in the initial conditions of the universe. Just to clarify what you mean by life is like what, high assembly index objects? Yeah. And this goes back to your favorite subject. What's that?

I mean, probably we can come back to it later, but I think it might be if we have time. But I think I now understand how to explain how, you know, lots of people got angry with the assembly paper, but also the ramifications of this is how time is fundamental in the universe. and this notion of combinatorial spaces.

And there are so many layers on this, but I think you have to become an intuitionist mathematician, and you have to abandon platonic mathematics, and also platonic mathematics has left physics astray, but there's a lot to unpack there. So we can go to the... Platonic mathematics, okay.
