Hey everybody it's the ultimate issues hour it's the second hour on the Tuesday I I think

about the ultimate issues are because I think about ultimate issues I have since I was a child. In high school I

wrote what we called in those days composition today I don't know what the word today, is it essay? Is that what they call it? I wrote an essay.

Or do they not write at all?

And by the way, was written. Yeah, it was written. It was written. It was it was

we didn't have word processors and computers. And I wrote an essay on the afterlife. Now remind you this is again high school so I was about 15 and I wrote an essay on

the afterlife I don't know for what class but I guess it was where you write on

anything you want maybe it was an English class

because then wanted to see how well you wrote and

I wrote about the afterlife because at a very early age I realized that I would die. I'm laughing because when you're 15 you know it intellectually but you don't really don't believe it.

But I believed it and it wasn't it wasn't macabre it wasn't dark it wasn't depressing

I from the age of 14 till today have been a very happy person.

I didn't say I've let it a painless life.

There's no such thing as a painless life, but I am a happy person and I have

been since 14. I wish I could date it, but there is a date. The day my parents said that they would leave me alone.

I was not a normal kid.

But and it worked. They just left me alone. You don't want to do homework, don't do homework. You don't even have to show us your report card. Won't ask you anything about school.

And I became a happy camper. But I did think about death

because I thought about everything and it's built in I don't even take credit for it. The amount that's built into us is

sobering, shall I say, both good and bad. Massive amount is built into us. I was speaking about Elon Musk last hour.
