In this conversation, we focus primarily on the Vikings, the seafaring Norse warriors and explorers who, over a period of just 300 years, reshaped the medieval world and the trajectory of Western civilization as we know it.

for the last 100 to 200 years, maybe post Civil War, you know, because society was working well. But if we're going to go into a period of stress, it's really important for that that mission to get attention also. And and I just want to double click on that and make sure maybe we have a common vision or maybe it's divergent.
What are the salient ones that you put in. Periodically, the humans will screw things up.
heads that headbutt at each other. Those are all ornithischian dinosaurs. So as you can see, there's this great diversity of dinosaurs that was starting to establish itself in the Triassic period on the supercontinent of Pangaea. But this was not an easy thing for these first dinosaurs to do because they had a lot of competition from the animals that were living with them. But they also were kept in check by the weather, by the climate. When it comes to the physical environment, Pangaea was not an easy place to live, not at all. This enormous supercontinent was so big
no plants with flowers. Now, when flowering plants entered the scene, they diversified, they adapted. Some of them became big, became trees. We have palm and magnolia trees in the Cretaceous period. As they did so, as they diversified, that triggered the diversification of insects, the insects that pollinated those flowers, insects that would eat those plants. And that, in turn, promoted the diversification of other animals to animals that would eat the insects and then also, of course, animals that would eat the leaves and the flowers and the fruits and the roots
idea that what we have is something like all there ever was, which is absurd. For example, there's a period called the Ur III Period, where people lived in city-states. They wrote very small account tablets by the thousand, and there were two or three major cities where this is the way they lived. People had to bring tithes and offerings, and everything was recorded by what I always refer to and people sympathize with is the ancestors of the Inland Revenue, because
you're flatlined. Remember that castration event where everything's zero and then we add back hormones. So now we're starting to talk about perimenopause as a place to to start giving women hormones and that's a a very important and evolving conversation that is happening.

archaeologists saying that. This is the memory banks of our species. This is the record the only record we have of a period before 6,000 years ago. And we shouldn't despise it and scorn it as primitive superstition. We should say what can we find in here that we can coordinate with scientific facts that we're aware of.

In reality, for for long-term investors who can invest in stocks, buy and hold for a very long period of time, that they're a lot safer than people think. Mhm. So, we've got some props here for some demonstrations we're going to do. Could you just give explain to me the high-level of what these things are on the table and the different
critical as the US political revolution because this is focusing on 2026 and China is playing out over a longer period of time. But it is absolutely severe because the Chinese understand that long-term as countries are saying the Americans are less predictable and we're more
accustomed to just switching between things very rapidly and to kind of not attending to anything for an extended period of time. You know, that would that would have effects. What's lost if we spend our time reading short-form rather than long-form? You
