I might have to, though.
So here's something to contemplate.
Do you remember this dinosaur?
Which one, this one?
Stegosaurus.
That's the one with the armor plates.
Yeah, go down.
Do you realize...
that we are closer in time to the extinction of the dinosaurs than the extinction of the dinosaurs are to the extinction of Stegosaurus.
So we're here, here's the extinction of T-Rex.
Here's the extinction of T-Rex, here's the extinction of Stegosaurus.
So the dinosaurs just got unlucky.
They were around for hundreds of millions of years.
And a dinosaur takes them out.
The stegosaurus went extinct for other reasons.
A asteroid takes out the dinosaurs and they'd still be here if an asteroid didn't come.
We'd be having this podcast interview where we need to put a tail through the thing.
But do we know, were people around at that point in time?
