0:00.0	Gahy humans. Welcome to the safe space for dangerous ideas. Here's one for you. Uh, what makes
0:08.2	Apple Apple and what makes Google Google and what makes Tesla, Tesla? How much of that has to do
0:16.8	with diversity of thought? And if so, if a lot, then what does diversity of thought actually
