0:00.0	we are back again speed inciting our way through stuff about how hard life is the queen of
0:07.3	england died 18 months ago she ruled an entire nation and accumulated more wealth than 99.9% of humans
0:13.4	and yet you haven't thought about her except for right now no matter how big your dreams you're
0:19.1	going to die everyone will move on, do what you want.
0:22.9	It sucks to not be liked, but it sucks more to not be yourself.
0:28.3	Yeah, it's really interesting when we think about what tactically happens when someone dies, right?
0:32.5	Like, a lot of emotion exists in the vague, but far less in the specific, because you plan your funeral,
0:39.0	right? And then you think that everyone's going to be standing there just forever changed

1:26.8	when I think about somebody like the queen who
1:29.4	accomplished so much in her life as the zenith of, you know, accomplishment, and most people
1:36.3	probably have even thought about her today, except for the fact that we just brought it up.
1:39.4	And so I think that just, whenever I have my harder times, that's my, my, like, reminder to self of, um, the absurdity of it all, which is like, someone's going to argue over what appetizer they're going to serve when I die.
1:54.9	This probably doesn't matter that much.
