Speaker 1 (00:00):
KFI AM six forty. You're listening to Dean Sharp, the
House Whisper on demand on the iHeartRadio app. We've had
some great calls. I need to spend some time back
on our new stuff list, because that's the theme of
today's show, new Stuff. I spent almost the entire first
part of the show talking about Superwood because it has

(00:23):
so many applications. If you missed that part of the show,
definitely go back in the podcast and listen. You're gonna
want to hear that. Now we're gonna switch from the
very very serious implications industrial planetary implications of Superwood to
something that's just fun and pleasant but no less technologically.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Okay, the website is light l I g h T
dot bio Light dot Bio. That's where you can see
this and the thing that I'm talking about here are,
in fact, the fire fly petunia. Okay, if you know
what a petunia looks like. Petunias are lovely flowers. They

(01:11):
work everywhere as annuals. Annuals meaning you know, they have
their growth season and then a good frost and a
heavy winter is going to take them out, and so
you replant them every year as an annual for spring
and summer and into you know, early fall in almost
every region everywhere here in southern California. A petunia, it

(01:36):
could really be considered kind of what would we say,
a gentle a gentle perennial. In other words, if you
live in an area where you don't get any frosts
that hit petunias, will you know, hold on year round
and they can really be a perennial that just stay
there and keep on growing and keep on being a

(01:59):
beautiful flower. There are great groundcover kind of colorful flower.
They come in all different kinds of colors. They spread slowly,
but spread nonetheless. They only get about ten to twelve
inches tall, generally speaking, but they spread very thickly and
very beautifully. Now, all right, it's all well and good,

(02:21):
and if you put a landscape light on them at
night you can enjoy them with the rest of your
landscape in the evening. Unless unless you have gone to
light dot bio and ordered yourself a glow in the
dark petunia. Yeah bio. Luminescent petunias, Uh, they are called

(02:44):
the firefly petunia, appropriately so because these petunias have been
genetically engineered to glow in the dark, using the same
essential bioluminescent molecule that fireflies use to glow in the dark.
These petunias don't flash on and off. They don't flicker
on and off. They just glow.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
And no they're not.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
They don't glow because like glowing the dark stuff that
we use where it's got to absorb a certain amount
of sunlight during the day and then they just glow
for a while. No, they are always bioluminescing. They glow
from sun up to sundown as long as they are
alive and glowing, and it is just something everybody needs

(03:29):
to go and check out.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Now.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
They're not cheap right now, Nor are they like some
kind of Jurassic Park experiment.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
When we say genetically engineered, we simply mean that they
have found a way of splicing the petunia gene together
with a gene from a bioluminescent mushroom, Okay, and as
a result, they've given these petunias that bioluminescent of vibe

(04:00):
and they are just really a sight to behold. Imagine
a bed of flowers in your backyard or your front
yard that simply are gently and beautifully glowing green during
the night, and you got to check it out. You
just got to check it out, all right. Light dot
Bio is the website, and go check out the Firefly Petunia.

(04:24):
It's getting near the end of their stocking season, by
the way, so you can purchase it directly from them.
And I think they're running some sales right now. Not
that that means that they're cheap, but it's just one
of those things you gotta check out new stuff in
the area of landscape beauty for your home. How about
imagine the day when you know all of our homes

(04:47):
have got the kinds of plants growing in them that
are not only drought tolerant and that work well but beautifully,
but also kind of like you know from James Cameron's
avatar right Pandora, where the whole forest lights up at
night because it is simultaneously beautiful in the daytime in
bioluminescent plant life at night. Well, this is one step

(05:11):
in that direction, the Firefly Petunia. Find it at light
dot Bio. Okay, I got more for you. Let's talk
about cutting edge televisions. You know that's always an interesting subject.
Is there such a thing anymore? Or have we just
gone all the way. Now, there's a couple of interesting
developments in TV technology that you need to hear about.

(05:33):
We'll talk about it right after.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from
KFI AM six forty.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Hey, welcome to the program this morning. I hope you've
been with us for a while. If not, you've missed
some really really interesting things, everything from super wood that
could change the way that we build and fly and drive,
and all sorts of stuff in the future too, simplicity
in the beauty of bioluminescent petunias that glow in the

(06:05):
dark at night. So where do we go from here?
In our show this morning?

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Dedicated to new stuff? Well, I got some more stuff
for you. I want to talk to you about some
television technology that is relatively new. And why is Tina
coming here with a big smile on her face?

Speaker 4 (06:27):
What do you?

Speaker 2 (06:27):
What do you? What are you smiling about? There? Bud?

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Wait, nobody can hear you? Get in here, Get on
your get on your mic. What do you what? What's
the deal you've got that like the cat that caught
the mouse?

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Smile on your face? What's going on?

Speaker 4 (06:48):
So? I was listening to this guy on the radio
and he was talking about these bioluminous and petunias. Yes,
and I just bought some. It comes into three path
of they said, smaller plants. I need lots of sun
and some tender care. But yeah, we're gonna try them out.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
All right, and we'll video it.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
We'll do some videos. Are glowing our own glow in
the dark. But yeah, you know what I didn't do
any research on is whether glowing the dark plants at
night attract you know, no, not mosquitoes, but critters. Right, Like,
if you're a critter looking around to mess with things,
you're like, oh, let's go to the glow and the

(07:29):
dark stuff.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Well, I guess we're gonna find out, Okay, all right,
TVs Okay, Uh. This website address is too long to
give you because it's one of those where it's buried
in a larger website. But if you go to well,
here's the thing. If you look up the LG that's

(07:51):
LG right, the tech company, the signature O led TV,
you will find the world's first now in production. And
it ain't cheap.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
I'm not suggesting that you run out and buy this
television I share this with you because this is cutting
edge stuff. And every time I have ever shared cutting
edge stuff with you on the program on a certain
date in time, right, a couple three years later, suddenly, yeah,
that's just the thing now, right, And that's why I'm

(08:25):
sharing it with you, to encourage you that this kind
of stuff is coming. One of the biggest problems with
living in the digital media world that we all live
in it from a designer perspective, okay, is what we
do with the big black mirror, that giant black mirror

(08:46):
that's so huge and so beautiful and so fun to watch.
But when we're not watching it, is that even a thing? Yes,
it is, when we're not watching it. What do we
do with that when it's just taking it, when it's
dominating a right, we find a way to hide it.
We find a way to cover it up. Sometimes we

(09:07):
turn to like the Samsung the Frame, which is a
TV that mimics during the daytime, when it's not being watched,
mimics a beautiful piece of artwork hanging on the wall.
That's a totally effective way to do it. Or perhaps
now we will have yet another option from LG which
is a transparent TV. It's a transparent TV that stands

(09:30):
on its own structure in a room, is completely viewable,
high depth, you know whatever. K I think it's four
K at a considerably large size when it's being viewed
day or night. But when you turn the thing off,
it becomes a transparent piece of glass. It also has

(09:50):
some really funky and cool video elements that can be added,
and artifacts during the day that can be added that
just kind of show up in the glass that you
know as plants or this or that, some cool stuff.
But it is, yes, you heard it, it's transparent, Okay.

(10:11):
So when it's off, it's a pane of glass set
handsomely in kind of a contemporary you know book what
looks like a bookshelf frame, free standing in the middle
of a room, wireless to all of its speaker components.
And yeah, and it has a limited application and a
very very big price tag right now, Okay, limited application

(10:35):
and big price tag.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
But for those of you.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
Who are like, yeah, okay, get practical, Dean, like I said,
I have never introduced a technology here on the show,
especially when it comes to electronics, don't they all initially
come out with limited applications, limited esthetics and an incredibly
high price tag.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yes they do.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
So I'm not telling you to go out and buy
this for your home today. Maybe somebody is, certainly one
of my clients might tap me on the shoulder tomorrow
and say, hey, Dane, let's get our let's get our
hands on one of those. Sure, sure, no problem. But
the point is, I thought it would be interesting to
share with you. Yep, even in the flat screen television market,

(11:16):
even in a day and age when we are making
television screens massive in size, wall size and proportions at
times super bright, super super high death and you know,
one inch thick or less these days, even in this world,
there is room for it to go further. And uh,

(11:39):
this gets like, you know, starts to go into like
minority report area where the TV when it's not on
is just a clear pane of glass that you can
see right through in the room. Yeah, it is weird
and uh, and yet it's true. And so they've worked
out the cabling and the and all the power supple

(12:00):
to it in such a way that it's a beautiful thing.
I got a contemporary application right now, But it's a
beautiful thing, all right. One more along those lines is
you know I talked about everything being super high deaf.
Here's a problem with super high deaf. Number one, most
of you are using super high deaf the wrong way,

(12:22):
which we found out with our friends when we were
traveling to Santa Fe. We sat down and talked to
them about why the movie that they were watching looked
weird to them. Okay, so number one, most of you
are using super high deaf in the wrong way. I'm
going to tell you and solve that problem for you

(12:42):
when we come back. And secondly, one of the problems
with super high deaf televisions are watching anything old on them,
old movies, and by old, I mean you know anything
that existed before the High Death four K eight. Hey world, Okay,

(13:02):
they look weird.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
They look.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Like they're vibrating, they look like they've got strange edges.
They just super high depf brings out every single flaw,
every grain of old film, every distortion of old videotape.
Is there a way around it?

Speaker 5 (13:22):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
AI has solved that problem. And there's a company, a
very large I tech company that you are familiar with,
who is now selling an AI television that's smart enough
to make old stuff look right, all right, we'll talk
about that using your TV right and that new technology

(13:45):
right after.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from
KFI AM six forty.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
You are Home with Dean Sharp. The house Whisper. Home
is the name of the show. The House Whisper is
the name of your host. It's not my name, it's
the thing. It's the thing they call me. I'm Dean Sharp. Hi,
welcome home. We are talking new stuff today on the program,
and we've talked about everything from super wood that could

(14:15):
radically change manufacturing, home building, home living home structures into
the future, to glow in the Dark petunias, which could
just it's going to change my garden apparently because Tina
just announced to me that she boughts some off of
the light Dot Bio website, so I guess that's the
thing that's happening soon. And also I talked to you

(14:37):
about transparent televisions just before the break, and I still
got some TV news for you. The thing, the side effect,
the unexpected side effect, as everybody talks about, you know,
higher and higher and higher resolution television sets, which, by

(14:57):
the way, can I just say I get it? You know,
we go from from four K to eight K. Now
we're moving into eight K televisions. Uh, you know, it's
all well and good. It's all well and good. Uh.
And and if you're just and I guess if you're
a if you're a video nerd or a visual nerd,

(15:18):
then you know you long for the day where there's
sixteen K and thirty two K and sixty four k,
uh and so on. Actually, several years ago, Apple introduced
what they call the retina display, which I believe is
five K. I could be wrong about that five K
the retina. We got to find out what the retina

(15:39):
display is. But the point is this an Apple Retina display,
which is somewhere in the lower ks, the lower thousands
of resolution is actually and they were absolutely one hundred
percent accurate about this indetectable pixelation with the human eye.
So the point is, at some point you reach the

(15:59):
threshold of what a human eye or an audio visual
terms also audio terms of what the human ear can
actually distinguish, and you know you're there. You're there at
the threshold. So if you keep doubling the resolution and
tripling the audio quality, it all goes.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
To waste on us. At some point.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
And so that, by the way, is a very valuable
bit of information. When you go out shopping and you're
one of those people who are attempted to just pay
unbelievable amounts of money for the latest and greatest thing,
the thought that one day you will bring home a
twenty four thousand dollars television flat screen, and my five

(16:42):
hundred and forty dollars flat screen looks exactly the same
as yours does. I'm just saying because we've all gone
beyond the threshold, and what's beyond the threshold of our
visual acuity is simply that it's simply beyond the threshold. Okay,
So you can't tell the difference between the two. So

(17:03):
here's the thing, though, there are things in life that
are that are sub four K and a K definitely technologies.
For instance, when most directors are setting up their motion
pictures and their makeup effects and their special effects and

(17:24):
their environmental effects and so on and so forth, they're
thinking in terms of motion picture screen quality. They have
a certain resolution quality that they're looking for, and a
four K, even now a four K TV can go
way beyond that. That's why you watch certain films and
maybe it's your thing to watch a film and see

(17:45):
it differently than the way you would see it in
the theater, But that's not my thing, you know, because
as an artist, I want to see the art the
way the artists intended. Okay, So we were with some
friends this week and we were like, hey, do you
guys keep your TV? Because the TV we were looking
at was all set up weird at its highest possible resolution.

(18:06):
Do you guys keep your TV always cranked up? The jutter,
the jutter on your TV always cranked up to the maximum.
And they're like, we have no idea what you're talking about.
We have a four K TV, so that's just the
way things look. And I'm like, actually not so. In
your video visual settings on your television, your display settings,
right the video settings on your TV, there is a

(18:29):
place where you can go to and it's usually under
expert controls. Okay, don't let that cause you any fear.
Go to expert controls and you will find a setting
for jutter, jutter, jutter. And if you have been sitting
there watching TV and watching movies looking like they were filmed,

(18:51):
like with video cameras for soap operas and not enjoying
that experience, then you need to get into your jutter settings.
Set it to manual on set it the jutter ju
t ter down to zero. Okay, it does not change
the resolution of your TV. You haven't just reduced four K.

(19:11):
You're still seeing everything in four K. What the jutter is,
it's kind of a It's a setting that where the
sampling rate on the television is such that it removes
blur motion blur, and that's an unnatural thing because we
see motion blur ourselves. And it also affects the way
that everything is receiving light refraction off of the screen.

(19:35):
Suddenly a four K television with the jutter turned down
to zippo or one, maybe suddenly the film the production
looks the way that Hollywood intended it to look. Okay,
and knowing that it's there now means you can change
it whenever you want. So, if you're watching a nature documentary,

(19:56):
crank that baby up, because the bald eagles are not
wearing make and you will not be able to see
them look weird. But if you take your average movie
star on screen and crank the jutter way up, you
will actually see the mistakes that the makeup artists have
made you will and you don't want to, so turn
it down.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
Also, when you're watching sports, go ahead and crank it up.
Crank it up if you want to see every detail
with the minimal amounts of blur, but rank it back
down when it's time to watch, you know, that latest
blockbuster film. And yes, you are welcome. It's in your
settings for not in your settings for Netflix and Apple
TV or any No, it's in the television settings. You

(20:39):
get the TV remote, you go to settings, and you
go to the video settings, and you go to expert
controls and you go to jutter jutter. Okay, there you go.
Now in those in the spirit of that, there's always
a problem with four K and higher resolutions. And you're

(21:00):
watching something that was made in the eighties or the
seventies or the sixties, or a classic film like Casablanca
or something like that, you're watching these old lower resolution
or you're watching like video from your camcorder from when
you were a kid, or when your kids were.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Even younger, and now your kids out it's all digital now.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
But anyway, lower resolution stuff, you know exactly what I'm
talking about. They look awful on a four K TV,
except if you get from Samsung, and you go to
Samsung now, and there are more than that manufacturer, but
they're kind of the tip of the spear here Samsung.
You look for a TV that not only is your

(21:43):
four or AK, but you see the words smart AI upscaling,
smart AI upscaling.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
What is it?

Speaker 1 (21:52):
It's an AI algorithm inside the television that knows when
you're looking at something of lower resis what does the
AI do? It gets into every pixel and it intelligently
removes distortions, It removes missing artifacts that shouldn't be there,

(22:13):
like scratches and dust, and it sharpens everything to a
simulated four K resolution. And if you actually look at
the you watch the the the commercial that's actually on
the Samsung website for their smart A TV, you'll see
exactly what. It's a family sitting there and mom and

(22:34):
daughter look very similar, and you swear you're watching the daughter,
the young daughter at her high school play or whatever,
and you realize what you're watching is mom's video from
when she was in elementary school during her play, an awful,
low quality, degraded video that looks like they filmed it

(22:54):
on their digital camera.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Yesterday. Okay, that's smart stuff. There.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
There's a use of AI without it taking over the
planet and controlling our lives. All right, So smart AI
upscaling takes everything old and brings it into high deff
the way it that it should be, or the way
that it originally looked. It's pretty amazing stuff and you
got to go check it out. And for the rest

(23:20):
of you who aren't interested in that, who're just dealing
with your existing four K TV, turn down the jutter
and watch films the way that they were meant to
be seen in the theater.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
All right, there you go. All right, we got more.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from
KFI AM six forty.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
Thanks for joining us on the program today. Here we
are at the end of another three hours spent together.
What a great time we've had today, great great calls.
For those of you who called but couldn't get on,
know that if you call us back again next week
you always have every week you've got an opportunity, and
you let our call screener know that you were on

(24:07):
the line but didn't get on, we give you a
fast pass to the front of the line. It's never
a guarantee, but we give you priority pass to the
front of the line. And so that is my promise
to you. Because I always want to hear everybody who
really really wants to get on the air. We always
find to make a way to make it happen because
we like you, we really do. And that's more than

(24:28):
just a mister Rogers sentiment around here, It's just the truth.
You are the reason we are here. And let me
remind you to follow us on social media Instagram, Facebook,
TikTok x, whatever all those things are these days. Teen
is in charge of all that, by the way, and
so home with Dean, same handle for them all. And

(24:52):
don't forget that this very broadcast, this live broadcast, is
also the house Whisper podcast. It's everywhere your favorite podcast
are found, of course on the free iHeartRadio app, and
also everywhere else Spotify, Apple Podcasts, wherever your favorite podcasts are,
and you can subscribe so that every episode just boom
shows up ready for you to go. It's one hundred

(25:15):
percent totally free. You can listen to it anytime, anywhere,
as often as you want on demand. It is a
home improvement reference library from you or from you from
you for you, and also if your home is in
need of some personal house Whisper attention, don't forget. You
can book an in home design consult with me and
the t yes us in your house, staring at the

(25:38):
problem together, giving you hopefully always I think, the game
changing advice that will make all the difference of turning
your ordinary house into an extraordinary home. All you have
to do is go to house whisperer dot design. House
Whisper dot design can check out the website and also

(25:59):
you can on the design console request get all the
information you need there. All right, a couple of questions
left over here from our stuff today, our new stuff list,
specifically the TV tech stuff. Just to reiterate that AI upscaling,

(26:24):
the new AI upscaling televisions. They use artificial intelligence to
enhance the resolution of lower resolution content, making it appear
more detailed and sharper on the TV screen. So instead
of just simply enlarging pixels, it analyzes the image, adds
new details where needed, and creates a higher resolution image.

(26:47):
And it's really a remarkable thing, not absolute perfection, but
such an improvement, such an improvement. And again to underscore
you've got control of whether or not your television is
giving you images the way that the producers of the
content intended, which, in my opinion, is always the best

(27:07):
way to see a piece of art, to see a
piece of art the way the artist intended, as opposed
to looking at it in in extreme conditions that are
beyond And by controlling this, you are not reducing the
four K or the eight K or the whatever K
of your resolution. You're not. You know a lot of
people say, well, there's no need to do that, because

(27:29):
then I might as well have just bought a you know,
a seven eighty pixel television. That's not the case. That's
not the case at all. The resolution of the TV
has nothing to do with the jutter effect that I
want you to get control over. So you go into
your control settings of your actual TV screen. You go
to video and you will find the jutter controls that

(27:50):
usually under expert controls, and there you can reduce it down.
All right, one last thing I'm gonna throw at you,
very very quickly. It's just it's interesting to UH to
look at here, and that is UH one or more
thing of How about an AI based smart health analysis
toilet seat.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
There you go.

Speaker 5 (28:12):
Tina's just like what what, Yeah, I have to spell
this out true lou t r u E l o
O truelu dot com.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
It's not the only one out in the market, by
the way.

Speaker 4 (28:28):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
And what we're talking about is a is I'm sorry, Yeah,
it's a it's kind of a camera system that analyzes
what gets dropped in the bowl.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
Okay, uh.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
And it analyzes urine and stool samples for health related information.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
And if you are sitting there saying wow, that goes
beyond anything that that that area of my body is
the last place in the world I ever want a
camera looking that's not it's not looking at you, it's
looking at the toilet bowl. But they have found ways
of analyzing changes in stool and urine and that may
indicate various health conditions, potentially aiding an early diagnosis, monitoring

(29:13):
of gastro and testinal issues and other health problem I mean, yeah,
I just thought i'd share with you at the end,
because you know, it's a thing. Go take take a
look at a toilet seat that you can add to
your existing toilet. That tells you way more than you
want to know about what's coming out of that end
of you the truelu dot com t r U E

(29:36):
l o o dot com and the the Inventor is
there and he has quite an interesting little video and
a self confession about himself too. That's always that's always
worth five minutes a fun All right.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
Here we are at the end.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
I'm going to leave you with this thought today, and
for those of you who are watching this on video
as an after all, because we're going to post this
on social media. We didn't have time to set the
cameras up, so Tina's holding the camera handheld, so I'm
going to be looking up and down from my notes
here as I read this off to you. But anyway,
here we go. Every time I gaze at something very

(30:15):
big or very old or both, like the night sky,
or here in southern California, the Pacific Ocean, or the
Grand Canyon, which we were at a few weeks ago,
or ancient cliff dwellings in Bandali, or New Mexico, which
we had the privilege of seeing just a few days ago,
or a grove of giant sequoias, or the countless peaks

(30:38):
of the Eastern Sierras where I spent much of my childhood,
or sometimes just an oak tree that may be growing
just down the street. If I gaze at something very
big or very old, if I look long enough, long
enough to measure my physical stature against it, or the
length of my life against such a thing, it makes

(30:59):
me feel very small, very small. It makes my whole
life and existence feel small. It's at first a very
uncomfortable and disruptive feeling, like I'm facing a truth that
I don't normally see about myself. That I am, in truth, insignificant, unwanted,

(31:21):
or unnecessary. That's what it feels like at first. But
then that changes a little bit. I never stop feeling
small or insignificant, or at times unnecessary, but I do
stop feeling unwanted. It's not that such great things are
longing for me to be there with them, but I
do realize they don't particularly have me in mind that

(31:44):
I'm there, or that they mind at all that I'm there.
Such things hold no bias against me, and I am
welcome to be there and to be a participant, however
puny my role of whatever is happening there. That works
out to be the case. So, in a word, it's humbling.

(32:05):
It's not discouraging or depressing, just humbling, and over time
I've grown to deeply appreciate that feeling what that does
for me. I think of such experiences as a small
dose of what's known as the overview effect. The overview effect,
if you've never heard of it, is what happens to
astronauts who have had the awesome and terrifying privilege to

(32:28):
be far enough away from home to see our entire
planet as the fragile blue world, with its paper thin
atmosphere under which all of human existence has ever taken place,
every life, every death, every human thought and feeling, every
everything floating on a tiny round wrath in the infinite

(32:55):
blackness of space. That has an effect on you seeing
such things. Changes when entire cities are just specs of light,
When you see that the world is so small, when
you realize the lines between countries don't actually really exist,
When you realize at that moment that there is no

(33:17):
us and them, there is just we, and that we
are all in this together. That is why the vast
majority of those who have seen such things come back
preaching the same message. Lift up your eyes from your
small life, see the world for what it is, See
your life for what it is, and let's find a

(33:39):
way to be here together. Because the truth is there
is no us, there is no them, there is only we.
But I have never been to space. I have no
plans to go there. So for me, I make sure
I regularly get myself to the things that are very
big or very old or both. To see myself in

(34:02):
that way. It's not hard to do, no matter where
you live. They're all around it. So why would I
want to make my life seem so small? Because it's true,
that's why. And it's humbling, and that's good, that's very
very good. And you know what also gets smaller my problem.

(34:25):
It's always a beneficial side effect of the humility, the
humility of experiencing awe and wonder in my life. So
just a suggestion, that's all. It's not the worst thing
to get a change in perspective and experience a little
of your own overview effect the kind of thing that

(34:47):
makes you make the most of what you have, what
little we really have, And it's the kind of thing
that gets you busy building yourself a beautiful So I'll
leave you with that today. I hope you have a
fantastic afternoon and enjoy the day, take it for all

(35:09):
that it is. Don't be afraid of feeling small, because
you are, and make the most of the life is
in your hands. And we'll see you right back here
