Time and the ability to communicate.

Yeah. My biggest fear in a way is that life is everywhere, but we become infinitely more lonely because of our scaffolding in that combinatorial space.

Exactly.

Exactly.

Exactly.

i i truly don't know but i it's an excuse for me to ask for people to give me money to make a planet simulator yeah right if i can make with a different i'm just like another shameless say it's like give me money i need this was all a long plug for a planet simulator it's like you know hey i'll be the first in line to my my my uh my rick my rick garage has run out of room you know yeah no um

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Exactly. If we could basically recreate the selection before biology, as we know it, that gives rise to a different biology, we should be able to put the constraints on where I look in the universe. So here's the thing. Here's my dream. My dream is that by creating life in the lab, based upon constraints we understand, so let's go for Venus-type life or Earth-type life or something.

Again, do Earth 2.0. Screw it. Let's do Earth 2.0. And Earth 2.0 has a different genetic... Alphabet, fine, that's fine. Different protein alphabet, fine. Have cells and evolution, all that stuff. We will then be able to say, okay, life is a more general phenomena. Selection is more general than what we think is the chemical constraints on life.

And we can point the James Webb and other telescopes at other planets. that we are in that zone, we are most likely to combinatorially overlap with, right? So, because, you know, we basically, so there are chemistry.
