Like I haven't changed.

My personality hasn't changed.

I just like I'm deeply curious and I want to understand things.

And I think, you know, you you have to be able to follow what you rationally thinking with the like the evidence is telling you and the questions you think are interesting to answer.

And I think the thing I guess I've done is like the questions I want to answer are not ones that people have really taken as seriously as I've taken them because of the reasons that they think they're not answerable or they're already answered.

And I just see this gaping hole in our understanding of reality that needs to be filled.

Yeah, I have a book out.

It actually is out today called Life as No One Knows It, The Physics of Life's Emergence, where I talk about assembly theory and, you know, like what's needed to solve the physics of life.

And also really trying to motivate this experimental group.

uh, that Lee is spearheading, uh, because I am such a fan of it, um, to try to find aliens in the lab.

So basically like the idea here is we just want to get people excited about these problems and thinking about them more deeply, uh, agreeing or better yet, like having lots of debate and discussion about like the nature of life and how we think about it and whether we can start an experimental program to really validate the idea.

So that's that.

And I narrated the audio book.

Yeah, it was kind of funny.

I was really shy about doing it because some people criticized my voice on all the YouTube channels and stuff.

And I was like, you know what?

I'm going to do it.

Thank you.

But anyway, it was really fun.

And it was deeply personal.
