This is a real human brain and spinal cord. And it would be positioned in my head like this. Front
00:00:12
of the brain, back of the brain coming down, hanging down as the spinal cord. And these are the nerves that are
00:00:20
actually going to go down into your lower extremity. So all the information that's going to go down into your lower
00:00:26
extremity to control your body is controlled. And the sensory information is coming in through those nerve fibers.

Looks like a bunch of wise. It does. Well, you know, we are quite a welldesigned machine in its own way. It
00:00:41
a difference is we are organic. We are biological. And I think one of the biggest mistakes that we make as a
00:00:49
society is we think ourselves and we think ourselves as a machine. Push it, push it, push it, push it, push it, push
00:00:56
it, push it. Well, you can do that with a computer. You plug it in and it stays on until you turn it off or it blows up.
00:01:02
We have to go to sleep. It's okay. We won't hurt it. Wow. We hope. Gosh. Uh-huh.
00:01:13
Beautiful. Our design such a masterpiece. We are this massive conglomeration of 50
00:01:21
trillion molecular geniuses making up our form. Beautiful. It's so crazy that every single person
00:01:30
listening right now has one of these and it's processing my voice as you're hearing my voice.
00:01:35
That's right. And it is this for anyone that has never felt a brain before, which I imagine is
00:01:39
most of you. It is like this very, very soft but dense sort of tofuy. How would you describe the feeling?

Pork roast. Pork roast. [Music]
