It's just crazy, like, the kind of ideas you get out of that process.

Evolution of eyes is amazing.

Nuts.

Nuts.

Totally nuts.

Totally crazy.

Yeah.

Seeing is pretty deep.

I mean, I think, I don't know when the first photon receptors evolved in cells, but, you know, even cells have light sensing capability.

So, I mean, that's how photosynthesis evolved also.

But, yeah, but it's crazy.

So, like, the idea of, you know, like, when life first emerged on the planet, nothing could see, but it evolved later.

And...

It is something that is fairly consistent.

And even if you think about our technology.

So I always think about the progression of biology into technology.

It is fascinating also that a lot of our technologies that allow us to understand the world are technologies of sight like telescopes and microscopes.

And, you know, like we think we knew life on this planet and then we invented the microscope.

And it's like, you know, just you don't need that much more resolution.

And you can suddenly see that this table is completely covered in cells, for example, that we didn't know were there.
