We're part of it.

We depend on it.

And these are people that depend on it a hundred percent.

And as we sit here surrounded by technology and concrete and civilization, they're still out there right now.

And the fact that we've been trying to protect their home without even really knowing that they were in it because they're so elusive,

it gives you perspective on where we came from and how far we've come.

You know, I look at simple things, you know, you board an airplane or you take a picture and you go, this is a miracle.

And I think having that perspective of having interacted with them where you go, you know,

how much work does it take to make this?

If me and you were standing in the jungle and somebody said, you have to make this, how many years before we came up with this?

How many rubber trees and where would we get the metal and what would we use as dye and how do we make the spring mechanism and figure out how to make it rotate?

And it's like they are working with the bare essentials.

And so it's an interesting reference point to start at in terms of how incredibly privileged we are.

The other thing is we have written, we have so many different types of text and we have code and we have language and we have music and we can communicate in all these different ways and they have spoken word.

They have oral tradition and that's it.

And so they're operating the way our great, great, great, great, great time, you know, to the power of what operated and persisting in modern times.

And so I think for me, I come back to the world and I think it moves very fast when I see it because I'm still stuck on, you know, whether or not me and you can drink out of that puddle.

and thinking about that.

The big questions of life.
