I'd honestly I I I'm kinda disappointed he's not here because I mean Dennett's effectively arguing an emergent property, effectively, or emergent like kind of thing, and I would have expected Wes to be.

all over it, but maybe he just finds it too annoying.
podcast-host

podcast-host
Right.
podcast-host
He wouldn't call what Mark was just describing.

podcast-host

podcast-host
Correct.
podcast-host
Okay.
