But like the whole temporal relation, this idea of like objects being in time means that they're connected through time.

So, you know, like if you assume a living object actually has a time and size, it means that like every living object in this planet is not really a distinct object.

They're all part of that same structure.

structure in time.

And I think this is really necessary for interpreting some of the things that you're talking about, because there's so much in our environment that is a part of that shared history that we're picking up on all the time that we don't even recognize.

That is like cues for us to really, and we miss it because we don't even recognize the history in our environment.

Um, and, uh, and so we think things are just happening, you know, spontaneously and like, there's some magic behind it where really all it is is contingency and causation.

But I think the other thing that is interesting about what you're saying, which we already touched on a little bit, is, you know, these these kind of stories that, you know, like there's ancient myths.

Like, you know, I'm a huge Joseph Campbell fan and like thinking about like the history of mythology.

But like, you know, we've had these myths for like, you know, most of human history.

And there's been a lot of recurring motifs in them about, you know, telepathy, psychics, miracles, etc.

You know, all of these stories.

And it's super interesting to see how some of them are becoming, you know, like embodied through our technology, like like the things that we imagine, like we're making real.

And that's the part that's interesting to me.

And that's much more physical.

So it's not impossible that people that are psychic at quote unquote could exist.

But I think what will happen is the stories that we're telling become embodied in the observations that we're making and the things that we're actually like implementing in the world.

But like I don't know that historically I would say like like I don't believe in magic.

I think magic is like.

I do believe in mystery.
