Latest / Kvetch & Release / Tech Talk with Carmi Levy
Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: I don't know too, and so.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Speak here a little bit of One Republic coming in
- 0:13Speaker 2: from the commercial break. There. Hope you're all doing well.
- 0:18Speaker 2: As I said just before the break, I love geeking
- 0:21Speaker 2: out and getting to talk about tech, and there is
- 0:25Speaker 2: no lack of tech stories to talk about these days.
- 0:30Speaker 2: Things continue to advance. It feels more like we're living
- 0:33Speaker 2: in that futuristic tech future that we were promised years
- 0:36Speaker 2: ago than ever before. These stories are, let me tell you,
- 0:42Speaker 2: they're feeling like they are futuristic. Joining me right now
- 0:45Speaker 2: to talk is CTV technology analyst and journalist Carmie Levy.
- 0:49Speaker 2: How you doing.
- 0:50Speaker 1: I am great, John, even better now that I'm with you.
- 0:52Speaker 1: Thanks so much for having me on.
- 0:53Speaker 2: Oh, thanks so much for joining me. You send over
- 0:56Speaker 2: a list of stories. I wish that we could do
- 0:58Speaker 2: all twelve of them, quite frankly. Yeah, And the amount
- 1:01Speaker 2: of work that you do on a weekly basis finding
- 1:02Speaker 2: these stories, sourcing them, learning them, it blows me away.
- 1:05Speaker 2: But I had to go and try, like I had
- 1:07Speaker 2: to whittle this down to just the three that I
- 1:09Speaker 2: found to be the most interesting, which was very hard
- 1:11Speaker 2: to do. But let's talk a little bit about Polaris
- 1:15Speaker 2: down and why this could be the most risky private
- 1:18Speaker 2: space flight yet but also the most ambitious.
- 1:21Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean this is really cool. This is this
- 1:24Speaker 1: is not a NASA flight, This is a privately funded
- 1:28Speaker 1: commercial flight. So there's this guy, Jared Isaacman. He's a billionaire.
- 1:33Speaker 1: He found that a payment processing company called Shift four,
- 1:37Speaker 1: and so he's worth a huge amount of money, has
- 1:39Speaker 1: his own fleet of fighter jets. He slies his own
- 1:42Speaker 1: MiG twenty nine. This guy has lived the life modern
- 1:45Speaker 1: day renaissance man. He's already been to space. He paid
- 1:50Speaker 1: a huge amount of money to Elon Musk's SpaceX a
- 1:54Speaker 1: few years back, twenty twenty one, he launched on a
- 1:57Speaker 1: flight called Inspiration four, and that was he selected three
- 2:02Speaker 1: other people, also amateur astronauts, not NASA astronauts, and the
- 2:07Speaker 1: goal was to raise a huge amount of money for
- 2:09Speaker 1: the Saint Jude Children's Research Hospital in the US. In
- 2:13Speaker 1: the end they raised a quarter of a billion dollars
- 2:17Speaker 1: and it was the most high profile private space flight
- 2:20Speaker 1: in history. Really cool stuff. And he's followed that up
- 2:24Speaker 1: with not one, but three flights. It's a program, it's
- 2:28Speaker 1: called the Polaris program, and this is going to be
- 2:30Speaker 1: the first flight of it, known as Polaris Dawn, also
- 2:33Speaker 1: going to be on a Falcon nine rocket with a
- 2:36Speaker 1: crew dragon on top of it. So we know the hardware,
- 2:39Speaker 1: but this is going to be doing some cool stuff
- 2:41Speaker 1: that has not been done in decades. They are going
- 2:44Speaker 1: to fly higher than any humans have gone since Apollo seventeen.
- 2:49Speaker 1: They're going to orbit at fourteen hundred kilometers above the Earth.
- 2:53Speaker 1: So just to put it in perspective, the International Space
- 2:56Speaker 1: Station flies at four hundred kilometers above the Earth, so
- 2:59Speaker 1: three and a half times as high as the ISS
- 3:02Speaker 1: and just to kind of test it out, and the
- 3:04Speaker 1: reason that height was chosen, that's where the Van Allen Belts,
- 3:09Speaker 1: the radiation belts begin, and that's a very high radiation
- 3:13Speaker 1: zone in space, super dangerous. When Apollo flew they flew
- 3:18Speaker 1: through it on the way to and from the Moon,
- 3:20Speaker 1: they didn't actually orbit there. So this Plower's Dawn is
- 3:24Speaker 1: going to stay in those belts for a little while.
- 3:27Speaker 1: It's going to test the hardware, it's going to test
- 3:29Speaker 1: human's ability to withstand radiation. They're going to do a
- 3:32Speaker 1: bunch of experiments. Then then it gets even cooler. They're
- 3:36Speaker 1: going to lower their orbit to seven hundred kilometers and
- 3:39Speaker 1: then they're going to open the door. There's no airlock
- 3:43Speaker 1: on this thing. This is not like the ISS, so
- 3:45Speaker 1: they're going to have to All four of the astronauts
- 3:48Speaker 1: on board. They're going to be wearing new SpaceX spacesuits
- 3:52Speaker 1: that are designed to be in space. Two of them,
- 3:55Speaker 1: Jared and one of the other astronauts, are going to
- 3:57Speaker 1: go outside of the capsule. The other two are going
- 4:00Speaker 1: to stay inside, but the whole thing's going to be
- 4:02Speaker 1: depressurized because again no airlock, going to do a bunch
- 4:06Speaker 1: of experiments and then close it up and try it again.
- 4:08Speaker 1: So it's the riskiest spacewalk we've probably ever seen in
- 4:12Speaker 1: our lives. And then they're going to continue doing a
- 4:14Speaker 1: bunch more experiments before they come back to Earth. So
- 4:17Speaker 1: beyond cool, I mean, this is you know, we tend
- 4:20Speaker 1: to not pay attention to space until something really bad happens.
- 4:24Speaker 1: This is one of those things where they're pushing the
- 4:26Speaker 1: bounds of both themselves and their hardware trying to figure
- 4:29Speaker 1: out how to operate in space. They figure, we're going
- 4:32Speaker 1: to be working on the Moon, working on Mars, We're
- 4:34Speaker 1: going to learn how It's missions like this that are
- 4:37Speaker 1: going to set the tone, and they really do sort
- 4:39Speaker 1: of push the bounds of what we think is possible
- 4:41Speaker 1: in space. And I mean, I watch space missions because
- 4:44Speaker 1: I'm interested, But this, frankly is if you're going to
- 4:47Speaker 1: pick one this year to sit down and watch the launch,
- 4:51Speaker 1: make it this one, because cool stuff's going to happen
- 4:53Speaker 1: high above.
- 4:54Speaker 2: So are we going to be able to see from
- 4:56Speaker 2: their point of view? Are they going to be broadcasting
- 4:58Speaker 2: stuff from inside the capsule or outside of it?
- 5:00Speaker 1: Yeah? My understanding is they have equipped this capsule with
- 5:04Speaker 1: go pros to bear, so they are going to have
- 5:07Speaker 1: go pros on the nose of the capsules, so the
- 5:09Speaker 1: nose of the capsule is going to kind of pop open,
- 5:11Speaker 1: and so they'll have cameras there. They'll have cameras on
- 5:14Speaker 1: the astronaut space suits, so you'll have like a first
- 5:17Speaker 1: person perspective. They'll have cameras elsewhere on the outside of
- 5:21Speaker 1: the capsule as well as inside the capsule. So, you know,
- 5:25Speaker 1: and if I remember correctly, because I remember when Inspiration
- 5:28Speaker 1: four flew, you know, I was pretty fascinated by it,
- 5:31Speaker 1: so of course I followed it pretty closely. They had
- 5:34Speaker 1: lots of cameras up there as well, and they didn't
- 5:36Speaker 1: even do a space walk, so I would expect they're
- 5:39Speaker 1: going to raise their their media game even higher this time,
- 5:42Speaker 1: and they're going to be producing some pretty slick videos
- 5:44Speaker 1: and live streams direct from orbit. So yeah, we're gonna
- 5:47Speaker 1: be able to see it. They're promising a live stream,
- 5:51Speaker 1: and they're also promising produced videos afterward, as is tradition
- 5:55Speaker 1: with SpaceX. So you know, pro tip, they produced the
- 5:58Speaker 1: coolest space videos ever, so you'll definitely want to be
- 6:01Speaker 1: watching this one. There'll be lots of cameras pointing at it.
- 6:03Speaker 2: Very cool stuff. Okay, let's move along and we'll go
- 6:07Speaker 2: from outer space to as internal as we can get
- 6:10Speaker 2: in our own bodies, right up at the top, to
- 6:12Speaker 2: our brains. Elon Musk has this Neural Link company. I
- 6:16Speaker 2: don't know if I would go putting a brain implant in,
- 6:18Speaker 2: but apparently they're getting better with their tech.
- 6:21Speaker 1: They are, so they have the it's called a Brain
- 6:24Speaker 1: computer Interface or BCEI, and Neuralink, of course, is the
- 6:28Speaker 1: company that produces and BCIs it's it's Elon Musky is
- 6:33Speaker 1: the CEO, and they had their first implant last year.
- 6:37Speaker 1: The guy actually it was successful he was able to
- 6:41Speaker 1: use his brain computer implant to play chess, play other
- 6:46Speaker 1: video games, to control a mouse, control a pointer on
- 6:50Speaker 1: a screen. So it is successful, and it has been
- 6:53Speaker 1: The technology has succeeded so far, no ill effects, the
- 6:57Speaker 1: guy is still alive, it's still working. And of course,
- 7:01Speaker 1: you know, he was a quadriplegic. He suffered a very
- 7:03Speaker 1: serious accident years ago, has no control of his hands
- 7:06Speaker 1: and arms, and this technology allows him to do things
- 7:09Speaker 1: he wouldn't otherwise be able to do. It's revolutionary technology. However,
- 7:13Speaker 1: there were some problems that they noticed in the first case.
- 7:16Speaker 1: Then the way it works is they take like a
- 7:18Speaker 1: tiny little box and that's the technology, and it has
- 7:21Speaker 1: a bunch of filaments in it that they then sort
- 7:23Speaker 1: of implant in the brain almost like tiny little wires
- 7:27Speaker 1: that sort of carry the electrical signals to and from
- 7:30Speaker 1: the brain to this electronic device. And they found that
- 7:34Speaker 1: in the first patient, a number of them they retracted,
- 7:37Speaker 1: they were no longer connected. So in this second patient,
- 7:40Speaker 1: which has now had the implant as well, they're saying
- 7:43Speaker 1: that they're using new technologies to make sure that there
- 7:46Speaker 1: will be less or no retraction, and so far they're
- 7:50Speaker 1: showing good signs of that that it's performing better than
- 7:53Speaker 1: the first one, and interestingly the first patient. They've also
- 7:57Speaker 1: updated the software because you can remotely fit the software
- 8:00Speaker 1: on these things, and they're saying that even though some
- 8:03Speaker 1: of those filaments have attracted, they change the algorithms so
- 8:07Speaker 1: that performance is still where it needs to be. He's
- 8:09Speaker 1: still able to benefit from this technology, so they haven't
- 8:12Speaker 1: had to go back into his head. It's still working.
- 8:15Speaker 1: So you know, they're going from patients patients. They're saying
- 8:17Speaker 1: they're trying to identify more patients to conduct these human
- 8:19Speaker 1: trials on. It is FDA approved, so this is all
- 8:22Speaker 1: being done with federal authorities watching this is this is
- 8:25Speaker 1: all on the up and up. But they are moving
- 8:28Speaker 1: ahead very aggressively because these early experiments have shown that
- 8:32Speaker 1: the technology works, it's safe, and that even when they
- 8:35Speaker 1: run into problems they're able to figure out either with
- 8:37Speaker 1: new designs or with new software. So very cool, very promising.
- 8:41Speaker 1: So folks who are who may have suffered power you know,
- 8:45Speaker 1: who are powerprilegic, quadriplegic, suffering from Parkinson's als if they
- 8:50Speaker 1: can't speak or move, this is technology that can be
- 8:53Speaker 1: absolutely life changing and we're kind of making it work
- 8:55Speaker 1: now in these two patients.
- 8:57Speaker 2: So I understand that this could revolutionary if it helps,
- 9:01Speaker 2: you know, quadripolegics be able to regain the ability to
- 9:05Speaker 2: operate the way that they had prior. I've heard Elon
- 9:08Speaker 2: Musk though, describe this technology as for, you know, potentially
- 9:12Speaker 2: in the future, someone like you or me who doesn't
- 9:14Speaker 2: have those mobility issues, and that it could turn us
- 9:16Speaker 2: into a potential I think he used the word superhero
- 9:19Speaker 2: maybe is how he described it. Making our brains work harder, faster,
- 9:24Speaker 2: stronger better. What are some of the more like what's
- 9:29Speaker 2: the Jetsons like future that's being promised from this? I suppose.
- 9:33Speaker 1: Well, I think the part of me that sort of goes, well,
- 9:35Speaker 1: hang on, let's let's let's let's let's pause for a moment,
- 9:38Speaker 1: is yeah. I mean, potentially it can allow us to
- 9:42Speaker 1: control our limbs, or maybe even control an exoskeleton that
- 9:47Speaker 1: we wear outside of our limbs, to do things that
- 9:51Speaker 1: you know, only a superhero would be able to do.
- 9:55Speaker 1: And that sounds incredibly promising and it sounds really cool,
- 9:58Speaker 1: but it also comes with a you know, a pretty
- 10:01Speaker 1: large chunk of moral and ethical questions. As well. In
- 10:06Speaker 1: other words, you're exposing humans to risk, So what is
- 10:10Speaker 1: the reward for that risk? If you otherwise can't walk
- 10:12Speaker 1: in this promises you the ability you walk. That's one thing.
- 10:15Speaker 1: If you are fully mobile and you don't have any
- 10:18Speaker 1: kind of prior injury or disease, is it moral or
- 10:21Speaker 1: ethical for you to have this applied? And then are
- 10:24Speaker 1: there appropriate controls to ensure that that technology isn't going
- 10:27Speaker 1: to be used for some malevolent purpose? Will we see,
- 10:31Speaker 1: you know, like you know, you know, Alex Luthor type,
- 10:35Speaker 1: you know, super villain in future use this technology in
- 10:37Speaker 1: ways that we probably don't want them to use it.
- 10:40Speaker 1: It definitely needs to have controls, and certainly as we
- 10:44Speaker 1: move forward slowly, step by step to ensure that this
- 10:48Speaker 1: technology works, I think we owe it to ourselves to
- 10:50Speaker 1: build in safeguard so that it isn't misused. And Elon Musk,
- 10:54Speaker 1: you know, the guy's a modern day P. T. Barnum.
- 10:56Speaker 1: He will say things that get us, get you know, garner,
- 11:01Speaker 1: garner attention from the rest of us, even if they
- 11:03Speaker 1: are provocative. But I think we need to make sure that,
- 11:06Speaker 1: you know, that is tempered somewhat with appropriate protections. And
- 11:08Speaker 1: now I look to the Food and Drug Administration. I
- 11:11Speaker 1: look to help Canada and Canada when it eventually comes here,
- 11:14Speaker 1: to make sure that we're doing it ethically and properly,
- 11:17Speaker 1: and the potential for misuse or abuse is minimized, if
- 11:21Speaker 1: not eliminated.
- 11:22Speaker 2: You know, it wouldn't be a tech conversation if I
- 11:25Speaker 2: weren't able to drop a Star Trek reference in KARMI.
- 11:29Speaker 2: It's been you know, it's been a couple years since
- 11:33Speaker 2: nineteen ninety two to nineteen ninety six when the EUJENX
- 11:35Speaker 2: wars happened, you know, in the Rise of Con and
- 11:39Speaker 2: I hear conversations like this, and you talk about the
- 11:41Speaker 2: ethics of enhancing our bodies to become more than the
- 11:46Speaker 2: person next to us on the street, and I can't
- 11:48Speaker 2: stop thinking about Star Trek and Con.
- 11:52Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, and I think I think that was opprescient
- 11:55Speaker 1: warning to society. And one of the things I love
- 11:58Speaker 1: about Star Trek is many of the technologies that we
- 12:01Speaker 1: rely on today we're inspired by much of what we
- 12:04Speaker 1: saw on Star Trek, and also a lot of the
- 12:06Speaker 1: moral and ethical questions around those technologies. We're dealt with
- 12:09Speaker 1: in virtually every episode of Star Trek and I think
- 12:13Speaker 1: we need to sort of every time a new technology
- 12:16Speaker 1: is introduced, we should be asking those questions, what is
- 12:19Speaker 1: the benefit, what is the return on investment, but also
- 12:22Speaker 1: what are the risks. We're having that raging debate around
- 12:25Speaker 1: artificial intelligence, but we should also be having it around implantables,
- 12:29Speaker 1: brain computer interfaces, other devices that are really meant to
- 12:33Speaker 1: basically hack the human body. And if that inspiration comes
- 12:37Speaker 1: from Star Trek, so much the better, because honestly, if
- 12:41Speaker 1: that's what helps people understand the implications of this stuff
- 12:45Speaker 1: in day to day life, then I think that's a
- 12:47Speaker 1: very healthy conversation to have, and it's probably a very
- 12:49Speaker 1: healthy place to start that conversation.
- 12:51Speaker 2: Absolutely, And the closest thing I've ever been to a
- 12:53Speaker 2: holideck was having a virtual reality headset on. So, I mean,
- 12:56Speaker 2: we're getting closer and closer to the promised tech from
- 12:58Speaker 2: the show.
- 12:59Speaker 1: But hey, we can buy our own holidays now, just
- 13:01Speaker 1: put them on our heads and off we go.
- 13:03Speaker 2: Exactly. Okay, last, but not least here, I'm really interested
- 13:07Speaker 2: in this one because it crosses over from the realm
- 13:10Speaker 2: of just tech into also not legislation, but into the
- 13:14Speaker 2: realm of politics. I suppose the FCC has fined telecom
- 13:18Speaker 2: operators a million bucks for transmitting a Biden deep fake. One.
- 13:23Speaker 2: I'm glad to hear that. Two, I'm surprised to hear that.
- 13:27Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's interesting. So this happened in January
- 13:30Speaker 1: in the lead ups the New Hampshire primary to primary.
- 13:33Speaker 1: There were some phone calls, robo calls that claimed to
- 13:37Speaker 1: be from Joe Biden, and it sounded a lot like him,
- 13:39Speaker 1: and he was telling voters not to vote in the primary.
- 13:43Speaker 1: These were not legitimate and that voice was not the president.
- 13:46Speaker 1: It was an AI generated clone of the president, which
- 13:49Speaker 1: is rather terrifying that could have swayed the results of
- 13:52Speaker 1: primary using malevolent means. And so now what's interesting is
- 13:56Speaker 1: the Federal Communications Commission, the SCC. They in fact, they
- 14:00Speaker 1: proposed a six million dollar fine to the individual, Stephen Kramer,
- 14:04Speaker 1: who's a political consultant, who made those calls happen, which
- 14:08Speaker 1: you would expect. You wouldn't expect. Also, the telecommunications company
- 14:12Speaker 1: that transmitted those calls, that was responsible for them, you
- 14:15Speaker 1: wouldn't expect them to be confined. But guess what, the
- 14:18Speaker 1: SEC is forcing them to pay a million dollars, which
- 14:21Speaker 1: is a really important milestone because usually telecommunications companies they
- 14:26Speaker 1: just shrug their shoulders and say, we're not responsible for
- 14:28Speaker 1: how people use our platform. And if there's something called
- 14:32Speaker 1: Section two thirty of the Telecommunications back in the US
- 14:35Speaker 1: that protect technology companies and telecommunications companies from the behaviors
- 14:40Speaker 1: of people who use it, and in this case, section
- 14:42Speaker 1: two thirty does not apply, which basically means if you're
- 14:46Speaker 1: going to use artificial intelligence to mislead people, whatever technology
- 14:50Speaker 1: you use, where the federal government, we're going to come
- 14:54Speaker 1: after you. And it doesn't matter who you are, if
- 14:56Speaker 1: you're the person who's ordering the program or if you're
- 14:59Speaker 1: the company that's the traffic, you're going to pay through
- 15:02Speaker 1: the nose. And I think this is a warning shot
- 15:04Speaker 1: to anyone who uses AI from a level in purposes.
- 15:07Speaker 1: You're we're coming for you.
- 15:09Speaker 2: Well, you know. I mean, it's not like there is
- 15:12Speaker 2: a need for new legislation when it comes to electoral advertising,
- 15:16Speaker 2: for example, that you have to have the candidate saying
- 15:18Speaker 2: at the end of it, you know, I'm Joe Biden,
- 15:20Speaker 2: and I approve this message or whatever the heck it is.
- 15:23Speaker 2: And that's what allows for advertisers to know that the
- 15:27Speaker 2: broadcasters to know, oh, this is a legitimate message. It
- 15:30Speaker 2: makes sense that you would apply a similar test to
- 15:33Speaker 2: telcoms because quite frankly, if advertising is happening over the phones,
- 15:37Speaker 2: it's not any different than if it's happening on TV
- 15:40Speaker 2: or radio or on.
- 15:41Speaker 1: The web exactly. You know, we don't need new laws.
- 15:44Speaker 1: We simply need the laws that we have in place
- 15:46Speaker 1: to be applied appropriately. And I think in this case,
- 15:49Speaker 1: the SEC is showing great courage in drawing that line
- 15:52Speaker 1: in the sand and saying we are going to come
- 15:54Speaker 1: after you. And I think that's an important lesson here
- 15:56Speaker 1: in Canada as well. You know we are. We're already
- 15:59Speaker 1: starting to see the drums beating louder for a federal election.
- 16:03Speaker 1: We know it'll happen at the very least next year,
- 16:06Speaker 1: possibly earlier based on headlines this week. So let's not
- 16:09Speaker 1: fool ourselves. The same technologies can and will be used,
- 16:13Speaker 1: and in fact already have been used to mislead voters
- 16:16Speaker 1: north of the border too. And I'd like to think
- 16:18Speaker 1: that Canadian officials in governments, in the courts are watching this,
- 16:23Speaker 1: and of course our national telecom regulator, the CRDC, are
- 16:27Speaker 1: watching what's happening in the US and that they're thinking
- 16:29Speaker 1: we should be doing the same thing. That's such a
- 16:31Speaker 1: precedent for Canada to follow too, and I really hope
- 16:33Speaker 1: that that's the case, because I would hate to think
- 16:35Speaker 1: that Canadian political parties could get away with this and
- 16:38Speaker 1: the Canadians could be so easily due to the AI.
- 16:41Speaker 1: It needs to stop, and if it's stopping in the US,
- 16:43Speaker 1: it should be stopped here in Canada as well.
- 16:45Speaker 2: Get a handle of it quick while we can before
- 16:47Speaker 2: it runs out of control. Hey, Charmie, just on a
- 16:50Speaker 2: personal note, I know that not too long ago you
- 16:53Speaker 2: had dealt with an instance of anti Semitism that you
- 16:55Speaker 2: came across in your community with some just you know,
- 16:59Speaker 2: violent vandalism and spray painting, and I just wanted to
- 17:04Speaker 2: just say to you, you know, that stuff is unacceptable
- 17:07Speaker 2: and it's gross, and I'm glad that you decided to
- 17:09Speaker 2: come forward and talk about it because through our conversations,
- 17:12Speaker 2: hopefully there can become more education and a decrease in
- 17:16Speaker 2: this climate that we're in right now.
- 17:18Speaker 1: Thank you. I appreciate that, because you know, let's face it,
- 17:21Speaker 1: hatred is hatred, and regardless of who's being targeted, you know,
- 17:24Speaker 1: if they target one of us, they target all of us,
- 17:27Speaker 1: and any one of us can be victimized on any
- 17:28Speaker 1: given day. And I think, you know, the last response
- 17:32Speaker 1: that is the acceptable one is silence, and we all
- 17:34Speaker 1: need to stand tall, stand strong against it. If particularly
- 17:39Speaker 1: horrifying when it shows up literally in your backyard. I
- 17:42Speaker 1: was walking my dog and I came face to face
- 17:44Speaker 1: with it. But you know, the good thing is is
- 17:46Speaker 1: the response from the community has been tremendous at all
- 17:50Speaker 1: levels of you know, you know, media certainly has responded.
- 17:53Speaker 1: We're working with local politicians to address the issue. There
- 17:56Speaker 1: was some damage to a community mural that I'm fortunately
- 18:00Speaker 1: had to be painted over, but already there's a program
- 18:02Speaker 1: in place to get that neural replaced. So from darkness
- 18:06Speaker 1: comes light, and I'm glad I stepped forward, and in
- 18:09Speaker 1: all honesty, I would do it again and again, regardless
- 18:12Speaker 1: of how often happens. And I'm hoping maybe we're in
- 18:15Speaker 1: our lifetime we won't even need for that to happen that,
- 18:18Speaker 1: you know, maybe more of us will get to get
- 18:20Speaker 1: the get the program, will understand the need to be
- 18:22Speaker 1: a little bit more tolerant to those we live live
- 18:24Speaker 1: with and with with around.
- 18:26Speaker 2: We can all try to find our better angels. Thank
- 18:29Speaker 2: you so much, Carmie for your time. I always appreciate it.
- 18:31Speaker 2: It's always fun, so great being with you.
