Where do we live and who are these 8.4 million species? And what we know is they're communicating every single moment, every day, everywhere on the world. They're talking to each other, just like our cells talk to each other. And what are they saying? What do they know? And we've long thought that if our intelligence could understand everything.

And now we understand that there actually may be very, very profoundly different types of intelligences on this planet. who see and understand it very differently. And it's not like we're the top dog. We are in terms of language, no question about it.

And with all due respect to Homo sapiens and the brain that developed from the use of language, the use of language that developed our brain, I mean, it's extraordinary. But beyond that, So there's a whole world here that we don't know. And we're just, I think, sort of like, you know, somebody coming to a threshold or a mountaintop and looking down and going, oh my gosh, look what I see before me.

You know, I never knew that was there. And that happened, you know, when Lewis and Clark went over the Rockies and different explorers, you know, like there's huge lands there. Well, there's landscapes of biology there. that we are now broaching and going into. And I hope we do it well.

But whatever we do, we are learning that we are part of a extraordinary web of life, far more so than we actually knew.

Yeah, there is a story about an orphanage. And children were brought there for whatever reason. They lost their mother. Who knows? And Claire Davis, who ran the thing, decided to run an experiment because children are very fussy when they're small. about what they will and won't eat. They'll push it away, they don't like the taste, whatever.

And so what she did with her nurses, they had the children around the table, oftentimes holding them, but they were very little, and they had 32 different foods. And they had fruits, they had vegetables, they had meats, they had dairy, they had some things like liver and things that, you know, you can't imagine a child wanting liver at two.
