You know, some guy in the jungle someplace, I'm sure. Right. You know? Because the creator is above the law. It's an interesting fact to note that the first canonized saint, you know who it was? No. The first ever confirmed canonization as a saint. It was Dismas. You know who Dismas was? No. He was the thief on the cross next to Jesus.
And he says to him, you're going to be okay this day. You'll be with me. Unbaptized, criminal, all that stuff. Wow. The lawmaker is above the law. So there's a lot of mercy involved.
What about the uncontacted people? That's right. That's what I'm saying. Some guy in the jungle. It's been known that it's called invincible ignorance because they don't know what the truth is. It's possible that they can be saved as well.
The Darwin thing? Yeah. I don't really go for it. No? Eh. Ice age, dinosaurs, you know. What did they turn into? I mean, things became extinct at some point. I don't think I was some kind of like, you know, legless thing that crawled out of the ocean. I don't think I came from that.
Sure, look at gain of function. You can make stuff happen. I'm sure stuff did happen. But I think it's all part of creation. I think it's all ordered. I think anything left to itself without some kind of intelligence behind it will devolve into chaos. And so that there has to be some big intelligence that orchestrates everything.
Not that we don't have chaos in the world, but I think that's our own making.
I think we have a soul. We're created with a soul. And, you know, I went to a restaurant last night. It was a steakhouse in Austin. And it was interesting because all the pictures on the wall are pictures of animals that look resentful, like cows and steers staring at you, looking angry as you rip into a steak. But I just believe we are higher than those creatures because we have a soul.
We have an intellect above theirs. And we aspire to higher things. We have aspirations. Right. And, you know, this is part of why people drink and smoke and do dope and all this kind of stuff is because they're looking for a spiritual experience. They're looking for, like they actually call alcohol spirits. I mean, they're looking for something higher.
And I think we all have that yearning in that we want to be happy and we want to be at peace and we want everything to be hunky-dory. So there's this yearning in building all of us for that to aspire to something greater. And that's why we're inspired by stories, I think, because it's like, you know, hero stories. You know, Joseph Campbell's stuff, the hero with a thousand faces and stuff.
It's like these stories inspire us. I was at a party the other day.
in in uh in tennessee and you think tennessee what's gonna happen there it's gonna be squeal like a pig no man there's some people live in tennessee sure but like amazing people and i found myself in a conversation with four tier one dudes all of who did something extraordinary and it was that tom slattersley guy it was the black hawk down guy
There was Sean Ryan, you've probably heard of this guy.
And then there was Eddie, they wrote a book about him.
Gallagher, yeah. Eddie Gallagher. I was talking to four of these guys at the same time. And I didn't know who to, who do you even talk to? But their stories are amazing, especially, and the one guy I ended up talking to was an SAS guy, British SAS. And he just looks like a bank teller.
But he did something extraordinary and incredibly brave and with no regard for himself, only regard for other people. And it was like, whoa. You hear these stories and it's sort of just like it pumps you up. You think, could I do that? Could I be that person? I don't know if I could. In a way, I don't even want to ever find out because you have to be in an extreme situation.
But hearing about other people and how they behave in situations that are difficult is very inspiring. So, you know, it's... Yeah. There's so many of those stories around and through history.
Yeah.
Yeah. Well, that's right. I made a film about that guy, Desmond Doss. You know, I don't know if you saw it. It was like Hacksaw Ridge. It was this film and it was about a medic. who figured so much killing going on, he's going to go into the battlefield and save lives. And he didn't have a weapon. And he was in the worst place on earth.
And he got a Congressional Medal of Honor because he kept going in to the worst place possible and dragging wounded guys out with no regard for himself. I mean, who does that kind of stuff? And over and over again. He didn't just do it once. He did it hundreds of times. He finally got, you know, hit with shrapnel and a bunch of other stuff. But he lived to be an old man. But wow.
Well, I think everything was created. Right. And maybe things do move on and adapt and change through time. But I think that that's a function of an intelligence also. And, I mean, look at the fires in L.A., you know. I mean, what's that going to do? It's going to give me a new house, you know, maybe. Maybe.
