Louis, can I ask you a question? Of course. Are robots and dinosaurs just the same thing on opposite ends of the spectrum? Yes. I'm glad you asked me this question, because this is This is one of the things that when I started this podcast, I kind of just knew that I was on to something by comparing robots and dinosaurs by exploring sci fi movies where the filmmaker was obsessed with one or both of those things. One of the things I'm discovering is that our fascination, or at least my fascination with robots and dinosaurs. And I think some of my listeners feel this way. I think a lot. I hope so, because if so, you found the right podcast thinking about either of those concepts places you in your present. There's a quote. There's something that paleontologists in front of the show Liza Peterson told me that we're We are closer in the timeline to the Tyrannosaurus rex, Then the Tyrannosaurus rex is to the triceratops or like some other dinosaurs that lived so many millions of years, far away from it. Either way, however, many years ago it was dinosaurs. Are this thing this this thing that doesn't look like anything that exists on our planet. Currently, it's too big for us. Toe exist next to it. It's too dangerous. It's too Alfa. It's too much of a dominant species for us. Toe also coexist with it. We seem to feel the same way about robots that they're going to take over for, for for us or take control from us. Either way, they're gonna the way that we inhabit inherited the planet from dinosaurs. Robots are going to inherit the planet from us. So we are right in the middle of robots and dinosaurs and we're the ones were the ones were unique in the sense that we live in a time period where paleontology is a very, very young field of science. We only know about these colossal things that lived on our planet so long ago because we live in a technologically advanced enough age that we can dig them up, we can analyze them and we can come to conclusions about what they are, what they looked like, how they lived. We also live in a point in the timeline, which this is just a miracle that we live in this point where we can also speculate on what robots what futuristic things will look like. And currently we're catching up. Thio. Ah, lot of the sci fi of my youth that speculated on, like what? Robots? What technology would look like? Some of it is reality right now, and it it just blows my mind. I'm gonna play contrarian a little bit because that's how I do.
