So, Kevin, how did you land at the Nature Conservancy? Well, the Nature Conservancy, many people have probably heard of because they're the biggest global conservation organization in the world.
And I even have a story in my book about that, who a man said, in Texas, said, you know what? Everything you've said makes sense, but I don't want the government telling me how to set my thermostat.
And the book is basically about how every single one of us can do this no matter who we are because every one of us has a voice.
It's not because of a food shortage in the world, right? It's a whole other problem.
As they say, nuclear fusion is always 30 years away. It's been 30 years away 30 years ago, and it still is today.

"
I think that I might be the first author that has written about a case of violence in low Earth orbit, in microgravity, in space, in other words.
And we, it's the whole point is my little mantra these days is from Earth, from space to ground to six feet under.
People will be people, whether they're on Earth or in space.
What's happening today is so amazing. And the line between what's real and what isn't, assuming we even know the difference between the two, the line is getting blurrier and blurrier.
And that's the thing that's both good and bad about it is that we can't be without it. I mean, we can't manage this world, in my opinion, without artificial intelligence, especially think of air traffic control when you have drones buzzing around and things like that.

The Mr. Tompkins series was recommended, which explores physics and how things get distorted when travelling close to the speed of light.
"
And he wrote a series of books called Mr. Tompkins, the Mr. Tompkins series. And this is, Mr. Tompkins, I think that the root name of the series is Mr. Tompkins in Wonderland, but is it Wonderland? No, that's Alice in Wonderland. I'm getting my fictional worlds mixed up, but it's definitely Mr. Tompkins. And he goes into worlds where the constants of the laws of physics are different. And one of the stories is the speed of light is 60 miles an hour or like 100 miles, something where you're in a car and you can approach the speed of light just as a regular Joe doing so. And when you do that, he then describes what you see and how things get distorted and so I highly recommend the whole Mr. Tompkins series because it brings exotic phenomenon of physics into your everyday life experience.
So if you go very fast near the speed of light, the light sources in front of you become basically blue shifted. They have higher energy than you would otherwise measure them to have. And if you look behind you, everything has lower energy.
