I'll do – And I guess on the space aliens, which is the wilder, more interesting one in a way, you know, I don't know, Roswell was 77 years ago, 1947. And if... If the phenomenon is real and it's from another world, it's space aliens, space robots, whatever, probably one of the key features is its ephemerality or its cloaking.

And they are really good at hiding it, at cloaking it, at scrambling people's brains after they see them or stuff like this.

And then, you know, if you're a researcher, you have to pick fields where you can make progress. And so this is it's not a promising field. And, you know, academia is messed up. But even if academia were not messed up, this would not be a good field in which to try to make a career because there's been so little progress in 77 years. And so.

So if you think of it from the point of view of. I don't know, Jacques Vallée or some of these people who have been working on this for 50 years. And yeah, it feels like there's something there, but then it's just as soon as you feel like you have something almost that's graspable, like the TikTok videos, whatever, it's just always at the margin of recognition. The ephemerality is a key feature.

And then maybe you have to – I think you have to have some theory of why is this about to change. And then it's always – I don't know. The abstract mathematical formulation would be something doesn't happen for time interval 0 to t. And time interval T plus one, next minute, next year, how likely is it? And maybe there's a chance something will happen. You're waiting at the airport.

Your luggage hasn't shown up. It's more and more likely it shows up in the next minute. But after an hour. At some point, the luggage is lost. And if you're still waiting at the airport a year later, that's a dumb idea. At some point, the luggage is lost. And like, you know, I don't know, 77 years, it's like maybe it's like 77 minutes at the airport.
