      @ozafter1 So becoming a "real" adult has nothing to do with extreme understanding of themselves and the world around them, but better yet having kids and developing a jaded world view? Maybe I'm being unfair to your argument but life with or without kids or a wife is not any less of a life.
      Lex talks about heavily impactful things, life is weird, and no one likes a bore. He asks questions and entertains concepts that most people's egos would be far too afraid of even bringing up, no matter how trivial the sentiment itself might actually be.
      We see this a lot with Rogan too. This is why people enjoy their content to the extent they do. Rogan has kids and a wife by the way.

    Great Job! I particularly liked when you nerded-out at the end with the mind blowing awe-ness of encoded systems of proteins. Just like mathematics, computer language, and esoteric studies, Biology contains encoded information in plain sight. That 4 simple molecules in our DNA control all the diversity in Life as we see it and may be seemingly linked through gradual evolution, or even the daily process in an organism from their DNA through to every protien-fxn they need in a day/life/life cycle is computationally mind-blowing and YES ALPHA-FOLD WILL OPEN THE DOOR TO A NEW FUTURE. Whew, See i just nerded-out too.
