to have this successfully done and make it as simple and translatable as possible. I mean, I would love it if every neurosurgeon on the planet had no problem doing this. I think we're probably far from a regulatory environment that would allow people that aren't neurosurgeons to do this, but not impossible.

To a certain degree, it's, yeah, it's a complex relationship. Yeah. All the good relationships are. It's funny when in the middle of the surgery, there's a part of it where I stand basically shoulder to shoulder with the robot. And so, you know, if you're in the room reading the body language, you know, it's my brother in arms there. We're working together on the same problem.

Yeah, I'm not threatened by it.

Yeah. You know, it gives you a very visceral sense, and this may sound trite, but it gives you a very visceral sense that death is inevitable. You know, on one hand... You know, you are, as a neurosurgeon, you're deeply involved in these, like, just hard-to-fathom tragedies. You know, young parents dying, leaving, you know, a four-year-old behind, let's say.

And on the other hand, you know, it takes the sting out of it a bit because... You see how mind-numbingly universal death is. There's zero chance that I'm going to avoid it. I know You know, techno-optimists right now and longevity buffs right now would disagree on that 0.000% estimate, but I don't see any chance that our generation is going to avoid it.

Entropy is a powerful force, and we are very ornate, delicate, brittle DNA machines that aren't up to the cosmic ray bombardment that we're subjected to. So, on the one hand, every human that has ever lived died or will die. On the other hand, it's just one of the hardest things to imagine happening. inflicting on anyone that you love is having them gone.

I mean, I'm sure you've had friends that aren't living anymore, and it's hard to even think about them. And so I wish I had arrived at the point of nirvana where death doesn't have a sting, I'm not worried about it, but I can at least say that I'm comfortable with the certainty of it. If not,
