Yes. Hi, friends. It's the Robcast. It's episode 3,8, 7, and this episode is called

Part 3 Official What We Do, 2025 Talk, which is and continues to be the worst title ever.

It's so bulky and cumbersome. It's so dumb. It's awesome. It's so bad. It's good. And because there was a part one and two, you knew there'd be a part three because this moment we're in. It's vital that we keep talking about it, even though we don't want to keep talking about it and we can't help but keep talking about it.

And there's a question I have noticed that when you get into discussions about what is going on, I started asking this question. And it happened again yesterday with my friend Marco.

We were having some coffee. And there's something about this question that just

a lens and you could put two of them in front of your eyes with a connector across your nose,

and if you bent them in just the right way, it would help

with reading. And then in the roughly 16th century, people discovered that if you took two pieces

of this glass, two of these lenses, and you put them in a metal tube, you could look through that tube,

and you could see farther into the distance than you could see with the naked eye,

which meant you could study things that were really far away, namely the stars, the planets,

and the sun, and you could learn the things about

those celestial bodies that people had never learned before. And as they looked through these

new tubes that had pieces of glass in them called telescopes, they discovered, hey, actually, the Earth isn't
