I like invention as a word for them. I think that's good.

No, I think the origin of life is a continual process. That's why. I'm interested in the first transition and solving that problem because I think it's the hardest, but I think it's happening all the time.

I like sight as an invention because I think having sensory perception and trying to comprehend the world, to use anthropocentric terms, is like a really critical feature of life. And I also, it's interesting the way that sight has complexified over time, right? So like if you think of the original life, nothing on the planet could see. Mm-hmm. Right. So like for a long time, life had no sight.

And then, you know, like photon receptors were invented. And then when multicellularity evolved, those cells eventually grew into eyes. And we had the multicellular eye. And then it's interesting when you get to societies like human societies that we invent even better technologies of seeing like telescopes and microscopes, which allow us to see deeper into the universe or at smaller scales.

So I think that's pretty profound the way that sight has transformed the ability of life to literally see the reality in which it's existing in. Yeah. I think consciousness is also obviously deeply interesting. I've gotten kind of obsessed with like octopus. I don't like, I, they're just so weird.

And the fact that like they evolved complex nervous systems kind of independently is like, seems very alien. Yeah.

Oh, I've seen videos of that. It's so gross when the babies come out. Did you see that? Yes. Like in person, like the babies coming out?
