Hello, Avi.
Thanks for having me.
My pleasure. I'm very good friends with your friend, Lex Friedman, and he highly recommends you as well.
Oh, thank you. You know, he asked me about social media and I told him I have no footprint on social media.
He said why? And I said I promised my wife when I married her not to have any account.
And he said I should get married.
Yeah, he reads accounts. He says he doesn't, but then he does.
He reads comments and stuff, and then he gets mad at things people say. It's kind of funny.
I don't even read what other people say.
And I don't care how many likes I have. That's the other thing.
That's wonderful. That's a freedom. Underrated freedom.
You came on my radar when you were discussing Amua Mua, is that what I said?
Yes, that's the right thing.
Amua Mua, which is an object that we detected in space that you believe could possibly have been extraterrestrial in origin.
Meaning, from some sort of a civilization.
Yeah. Please explain to people what Amua Mua is, why it's so extraordinary, and why you think it's possible that it came from some other intelligent civilization.
Right. So I'm a scientist and I basically follow the evidence, just like Sherlock Holmes, trying to find solutions.
