Totally.
Yeah.
So let's switch it up a little bit.
Like, you know, I know that you guys are all, like, the optimists I feel like in the room here.
So, talk to me a little bit about the relational crisis that may come upon you guys.
Think about the other extreme that the society should prepare for.
What type of relational crisis can come if you start living up to 250 years?
Whether it's like talking to your great-great-great-great-great-grandchildren and don't even know where they came from.
Sounds cool.
I don't know if it's cool or not, but like, or like, you know, people start dying around you and you're the only one alive.
I don't know.
Like, I'm just asking what are all the different... It's like these vampire movies, you know, or like sci-fi, where it's like this 3,000-year feud between my family and your family, and I had this lover, and she died.
Or like Philip Pullman's books I love, The Dark Tales.
Well, like, let me tell you... There's the witch, and she has, like, a human lover, and then he gets older, and he's going to die, and then she carries on, Serafina Pekela.
But the cohort of witches live on, and they carry the wisdom of all these other populations that have passed away.
Like...
Who gets to be that central population?
What are their values?
Are they stewards?
Or are they the people that are just going to extract endlessly from the other?
