They do their thing.
And other people have this compulsion to explore new places, new things.
And I think it's genetic based.
Society needs that 2% or 3% of the people that really want to go see what's on the other side of that hill, even if it kills them, because they just can't help it.
But they also need the other 2% or 3% that maintain the home and the hearth.
You need that balance in society.
And I definitely think that genetically and by
the very permissive parents that I had who were great, that I fostered that desire and love of exploration.
I couldn't not explore.
It's like a compulsion.
If I do not get out and explore new things, I get very anxious.
So your lineage, everybody was an explorer, if it's genetic, right?
That's right.
We come from a long line of people that push the boundaries.
Let's hear about it.
Well, no, I mean, just think about it evolutionarily.
If you had a species that never took any risks whatsoever, they would be out-competed by those other species or other parts of your own species that would out-compete you for food and for resources.
Just like the beginning of the wonderful movie 2001, A Space Odyssey, where that first brilliant scene with the apes, it was the tribe that learned how to use the first tool to
that actually started gaining ascendance.
So if everyone was incredibly exploration-focused and always seeking new things, it'd be chaotic.
