So I don't think that the, I think that the problem of discovering alien life and solving the original life are deeply coupled and in fact are one in the same problem. And that the first contact with alien life will actually be in an original life experiment. But that part I'm super interested in. And then there's this other feature that I think about a lot, which is

And then there's this other feature that I think about a lot, which is
our own technological phase of development as sort of like, what is this phase in the evolution of life on a planet? If you think about a biosphere emerging on a planet and evolving over billions of years and evolving into a technosphere, when a technosphere can move off planets, And basically reproduce itself on another planet. Now you have biospheres reproducing themselves.

Basically, they have to go through technology to do that. And so there are ways of thinking about sort of the nature of intelligent life and how it spreads in that capacity that I'm also really excited about and thinking about. Yeah. And all of those things for me are connected.

We have to solve the origin of life in order for us to get off planet because we basically have to start life on another planet. And we also have to solve the origin of life in order to recognize other alien intelligence. All of these things are literally the same problem.

I totally agree with this, like that visual I really love and I think we live in a universe that like generates life and purpose. And like it's part of the structure of just the world. And so maybe like this sort of lonely view I have is, I never thought about it this way till you were describing that. I was like, I want to live in that universe. And I'm like a very optimistic person.

And I love building visions of reality that are positive. But I think for me right now in the intellectual process, I have to tunnel through this This particular way of thinking about the loneliness of being like separated in time from everything else, which I think like we also all are because time is what defines us as individuals.

Part of what I mean is you have to go through ideas you don't necessarily agree with to work out what you're trying to understand. And I'm trying to be inside this structure so I can really understand it. And I don't think I've been able to... I'm so deeply embedded in what we are intellectually right now that I don't have an ability to see these other...
