Wow, amazing.

Is it sold out yet?

I hope so.

If it's not...

It will be in about five minutes.

Okay, let's do that.

Thanks to you for putting your heart and soul into this.

I know when you delve into controversial topics, it's inevitable to get hit by what Hamlet talks about, the slings and arrows and stuff.

And I really admire this.

It's in an era, you know, where YouTube videos are too long and now it has to be like a 20-minute TikTok video.

20-second TikTok clip.

It's just so refreshing to see you going exactly against all of the advice and doing these really long-form things and that people appreciate it.

You know, reality is nuanced.

And thanks for sharing it that way.

So when we look out to the stars,

If you define our universe the way most astrophysicists do, not as all of space, but the spherical region of space that we can see with our telescopes from which light has the time to reach us since our Big Bang, I'm in the minority.

I estimate that we are the only life in this spherical volume that has invented internet radios, gotten our level of tech.

And if that's true,

then it puts a lot of responsibility on us to not mess this one up.

Because if it's true, it means that life is quite rare.
