How do we think about the world and put us inside the world?

And I think a theory of life has to have that property.

It has to account for the fact that we live inside the universe.

We cannot escape the universe.

Like we're always going to be physically stuck here.

This is it.

This is all we got.

And like describe why, like what is the observational horizon we interact with and how did we get structured out of that space?

Like why do we exist the way we do within that space?

Um, I don't know.

But I mean, I like the why questions.

I was also told by like a really prominent senior physicist not to ask why.

And I was like, why should we not ask why?

Like, you should really you should ask the why questions are good questions.

Yeah.

Do I find that bizarre?

No, I've had that since.

You know, it's very funny because I think sometimes people are like, oh, Sarah, you're really successful in your career.

Now you can say these things.

And I'm like, I think I've been saying these things since I was like, I don't know, forever.
