| 0:00.0 | I realize it can be an interesting debate in regards to the most important person in regards to health and well-being who's ever lived. |
| 0:07.0 | And I'm not going to say my opinion is definitive in this, but I thought I would share who I think is the most important person, both to human and animal lives. |
| 0:17.0 | And perhaps what is surprising is that the human who prevented the most suffering physically |
| 0:23.2 | and psychologically, and I'm talking both in terms of morbidity and mortality, this person had |
| 0:30.3 | no major medical training. And unlike some people have done amazing things whose lasting |

| 1:26.5 | think I'm utilizing hyperbole here. I've never |
| 1:29.6 | seen a high school or college named after this person who died in 2017. Yet, he helped kids |
| 1:36.5 | be the number one thing they all want to be when they grow up, which is alive. And he invented |
| 1:41.4 | nothing in the medical field, not a vaccine or a medication or a procedure. |
| 1:47.0 | The fact that nearly all have built circuits of neurons to make memories that can easily |
| 1:52.0 | visualize in our heads, people like Kim Kardashian, Tom Brady, and others, yet barely anybody |
| 1:58.0 | can picture the guy I'm talking about in their head shows how little most are paying attention to the most important things. |
