in order to explain the diversity of forms that we see in biology.

But I haven't been specific on what I believe that layer is. And I felt

to emerge naturally. And I wanted to put it on the table before it simply gets discovered as a matter

of computing horsepower.

And we were just rambling about so many different things that we never got to it last time.

So we said, all right, let's do another quick turnaround, come back.

Right.

All right.

So, um, let's let's talk biology and let me just say, you know, I know that's not everybody's bag, but I do think just about everybody has at some point listened to the story that we tell about adaptive evolution and wondered if it's really powerful enough to explain all of the creatures that we all know and love.

Right.
