Yeah.

Which is just mind-blowing.

Mind-blowing.

It's like we evolved from cells billions of years ago.

It took us billions of years to evolve into an intelligence that could build a technology and then look and be like, oh, biology is made out of cells.

Those wave functions.

Yeah.

What?

I know.

This is what got me into it, though.

Like that feeling is just like I love that feeling.

I love not understanding and thinking like we live in a really trippy reality.

And the fact that our minds are capable of understanding any of it to me is pretty profound.

Absolutely.

I think some people are really good at reading patterns in their environment.

Yeah, I have lots of thoughts, but I think the first one is I think we we forget often that we are all connected by a common history.

And so a lot of the features about like, why is it that we can be sitting here having this conversation?

You know, obviously, we both have to speak the same language, but we also have to emerge from the same evolutionary architecture, have the same kinds of sensory apparatus to like to be able to communicate with each other.

implies shared history.

And so, you know, like I think about life as these kind of, you know, like these structures that are emerging over time and generating novel, you know, things.
