0:00.0 | I'm gonna take his hands. He has beautiful talented hands. This is we have concerns. Hi, Jeff Genata. I am the Nicarbonis. Hello, concerned citizens. Jeff. |
0:24.4 | It's a classic Jeff's choice. I love a Jeff's choice. It's a classic Jeff's choice, buddy. Here's what we've got you can choose. |
0:37.4 | High highly conceptual space philosophy. I mean, I like it already. Okay. The psychology of video games and what they do to us. |
0:50.4 | It's a tough choice. It's a tough choice. That's why I had to make it a Jeff's choice because I don't know which way I want to go. |
0:59.4 | I think I want to go with A. I want to go with I think people would expect me to go video games, but I feel like that's going to make me feel like a bad dad. |
1:09.4 | Well, I'll tell you what's behind curtain B in typical Monti Monti Hall style. I'm gonna let you know what you didn't choose. |
1:18.4 | The showcase you didn't take was study finds video game playing causes no harm to young children's cognitive abilities. |
1:25.4 | I'm a good dad. All you need to know about B is you're a good dad. All right. I feel good about that. Right. What's A? A is great. Jeff. |
1:34.4 | Cause A brings us back to gosh, it's practically where we started this whole thing. We're going back to the Fermi paradox, baby. |
1:42.4 | Hey, that is well, episode zero of we have concerns. I love a good Fermi paradox, although it, you know, terrifying that's ramifications, of course. |
1:52.4 | Sure. So the Fermi paradox is the is the whole the whole thing of like why haven't we found aliens yet? Where are they? |
2:01.4 | What's going on? And the Fermi paradox suggests that we might be the only civilization because if there was evidence, we would have found it. |
2:10.4 | Yeah, the Fermi paradox says there's so much out there that we can see the law of probability says we should see some evidence that there's some other intelligent life. |
2:24.4 | There should be some out there unless something terrible, something terrible happened to all of them. |
2:31.4 | And then the whole thing is like, and if something terrible happened to them, how long do we have until it happens to us? |
2:37.4 | And you know, we've talked about this before and we've talked about all of the, you know, a lot of people who who disbelieve the Fermi paradox say, hey, because there is so much. |
2:46.4 | And because the idea is that, you know, you got to have just the right conditions to create life. |
2:52.4 | It's entirely possible. Civilizations have come and gone or there are civilizations, but they're on a different timeline than us. |
2:58.4 | And we just we're not going to be in the same place at the same time in order to see them, but they're out there. |
3:04.4 | We got to believe they're out there because also to to say that we would have found them by now if there was any other life, there's also a little bit of like human exceptionalism and human centric human centric view of the universe, which we know is, come on. |
3:19.4 | That's a little bit of ego, isn't it? |
