There are all kinds of wars going on.

The global order is breaking down maybe.

So terribly worrying things, as bad as they are.

I'm not in favor of them.

But that in itself is incredibly stimulating of people who are questioning.

If the world is totally stable, then there's no real incentive to question things.

So the very instability of the world tends to promote unorthodox thinking.

People say, look, the world's crazy.

Okay, so I'm going to focus on this little corner of intellectual thought.

And, you know, it's very rewarding.

I mean, you must find this running your podcast.

It takes you out of the real world and all of its problems.

And you're looking for beauty and simplicity and inner fulfillment, right?

And that's great for foundational thinking.

revolutionary ideas to come out.

And that's very exciting.

And, you know, it's not that hard to be a researcher, certainly in theoretical physics these days.

You can go to a coffee shop, you got a laptop, you know, laptop's very powerful, even if you want to do some math computations or whatever.

So it is becoming much more accessible.
