What is that?
Contributing to that.
Life.
Like the continuity of this thing that we're in.
The most beautiful thing, I mean...
I think it's said by a lot of people, but even if you got to live for just a moment, just experience this for a moment.
It's so beautiful.
It's so beautiful.
It's so special.
And like, I just want that to continue for everyone forever, ongoingly, so that people can continue to experience that.
And, you know, there's a lot of forces in our society that take away people's experience of that possibility.
And...
You know, as someone with relative privilege, I want my life for at least to be devoted to making things better for people who don't have that privilege.
And that's how I've always felt.
I think one of the biggest bottlenecks for something happening in the world is mass public awareness.
And I was super excited to come here and talk to you today because I think that you have a platform that can reach a lot of people and people, you're a wonderful interviewer and people I think can really hear this and say, maybe something else can happen.
And so for me, you know, I spent the last several days being very excited to talk to you today because this is one of the
highest leverage moves that in my life that I can, that I can hopefully do.
And I think if everybody was doing that for themselves in their lives towards this issue and other issues that need to be tended to, you know, if everybody took responsibility for their domain, like the players, the places where they had agency and just showed up in service of something bigger than themselves, like how quickly the world could be very different very quickly if everybody was more oriented that way.
And obviously we have an economic system that disempowers people where they can barely make ends meet and put โ if they had an emergency, they wouldn't have the money to cover it.
