But I will tell you, there is some parts of this conversation that are very uncomfortable for some people because it may challenge some people's preconceived notions of, for example, their religion or the notion of certain governments' preeminence, right? When people realize that maybe we're not the alpha life form necessarily. Yeah. that could create a lot of anxiety for some people. God forbid.

Yeah, so my response is— We don't know. But here's the bottom line. In order to determine if something is a threat, it's a very simple calculus from a national security perspective. It's capabilities versus intent. Now, we've seen some of the capabilities. We have no idea the intent. So let me give you a little analogy here. And I'll just start with you, Will.
