Do you look at this as a magical Knicks run or was it simply a great team repeatedly creating its own luck during the postseason?

Yeah, I wouldn't say they're a great team.

I think they did get a lot of luck, but you'd rather my father always said and my father was a great Knicks fan.

Unfortunately, did not last long enough, died four years ago, did not last long enough to see them win another title.

But they got, listen, I thought if they played Oklahoma City, and I tweeted this, during the Oklahoma City San Antonio series, I tweeted, Knicks fans need to be rooting for San Antonio.

It's a much better matchup.

I think OKC may have taken them.

So when you remove the emotion from this run, do you personally believe that the Knicks will win it again in 2027? And in your eyes, what's the biggest thing that could stop them from repeating as champions?

Building on that, what can you tell investors about LSB's commercial and growth strategy and particularly how carbon capture and sequestration fits into that?

Yeah, so ammonia production produces a lot of CO2 emissions.

We're an industry that's one of the largest in the CO2, the production of CO2.

And so we and others in our industry have a real focus on how do we reduce CO2 emissions, NOx emissions.

And of course, when we're thinking about other environmental aspects, reduced power usage and water usage, industry has been doing a good job for a long period of time.

we've tended to focus on carbon capture and sequestration.

So we've got a project that should be completed by the end of this year, where we'll capture four to 500,000 tons of CO2 a year.

What do you see as the implications for ammonia and agricultural markets in both the short term and long term from the crisis there?

Does nature help us see ourselves differently?

Yes, and that's a very powerful story from Betsy, and again, too, I'm very happy that, that her daughter is in remission, too.

And, and, yes, I think what Betsy's intuition is about being in nature can get you sort of maybe less thinking about your- yourself i- is something that we actually find.

So we did some studies where we had people walk in an indoor nature conservatory in Chicago, the Garfield Conservatory, versus also interacting with a nice indoor space, the Water Tower Mall in Chicago, and a few things really struck us.

So one is that, in nature, people tended to think less about themselves and more about others, even though, you know, there might have been fewer or the same amount of people in the nature conservatory versus the mall.

So that was pretty interesting and also kind of consistent with what Betsy was saying.

We also found that people's thoughts were more positive in nature, their thoughts were a bit more creative, and they felt more connected to the larger world, which I think is also really interesting.

Tell me what you did.

How do you define it?

It- it- it means that it's how the physical, uh, and even social environment affect brain and behavior and that we have these bidirectional relationships between our brains and the environment.

So the physical environment that's around us, um, affects our brains deeply, and there- there were studies that were done in the 1960s with rodents and they looked at rodents interacting with different environments, rodents, you know, living in environments that had toys and rich social interactions versus rodents kind of just living on their own in very sterile cages, and that had significant impacts on these rodents' brains, that the rodents' brains that were in the more enriched environments, um, had more synapses.

Their brains were sort of richer than the rodents that were growing up in the depleted environments.And I think a lot of that research kind of sat for a while, and people didn't really connect it too much to humans.

(laughs) But the same thing i- is true of humans that, you know, we're not immune to the physical environment and the physical environment that's around us has deep, deep, um, causes and changes to, to our brains and to our physical health.

The other thing that I think is important too is that, you know, with our brains, we're also changing the physical environment, and so it's kind of this cyclical relationship that, that we have where the physical environment is affecting us, but we also have the power to sort of change the physical environment in this loop.

Unfortunately, it, it doesn't really seem like in current times that you don't often hear people say, "Well, you know, we designed this school so that kids would be more cooperative and that they would have better working memory," or, uh, "We designed this office so that people would have less stress, um, they would interact more with each other, and they'd have lower rates of depression." We've kinda de- designed the physical spaces that we're in in cities to sort of move goods efficiently, to house people efficiently, but not really to promote human flourishing, and I think that's something that we're trying to get across in our research, but also in my book that, um, we really, really need to take, um, this research seriously about how the physical environment affects our brains, and then also too, that one physical environment that we find that's really, really good for our brains are more natural environments and how can we get people to be more exposed and interacting with more natural environments on a regular basis.

I wanna touch on what you call soft versus hard fascination and how that comes into play.

How do you define it?

It, it, it means that it's how the physical, uh, and even social environment affect brain and behavior, and that we have these bidirectional relationships between our brains and the environment.

So the physical environment that's around us, um, affects our brains deeply.

And there, there were studies that were done in the 1960s with rodents, and they looked at rodents interacting with different environments.

Rodents, you know, living in environments that had toys and rich social interactions, versus rodents kind of just living on their own in very sterile cages.

And that had significant impacts on these rodent's brains, that the rodent's brains that were in the more enriched environments, um, had more synapses.

Their brains were sort of richer than the rodents that were growing up in the depleted environments.

I wanna touch on what you call soft versus hard fascination and how that comes into play.

Uh-huh.

... all of this social media that's around us is, is making kids in particular more anxious.

And we think that part of that is because all these different technologies are kind of robbing our attention.

Now, this isn't to say that all these attentions are, all of these technologies are bad.

It just means we have to be careful.

And so what we think interacting with nature does is it has this ability to restore our ability to direct attention, that we become refreshed.

So if, if we're mentally fatigued, nature can, can restore our attention.

So how many types of attention are there?

So, pick your favorite study about this, and then I'll ask you about a few others as well.

Sure.

Thanks.

Well, I think the, the, kind of the seminal, uh, experiment that we did, um, was back in, you know, 2008.

And at that time, um, when people did these sort of nature walk studies, they would ask people, "How do you feel after the walk?" And it was very subjective, and I- I'm not against, uh, subjective accounts, and people reported, "Yeah, I feel much more refreshed after the walk in nature." Um, but I always felt a little bit dissatisfied by that.

I, I wanted to see, well, does objective performance change? Just like we would probably be dissatisfied if I gave you a pill and I said, "This pill is gonna, uh, get you stronger.

You're gonna be able to lift more weight." And if we just had people say, "Yeah, I feel like I can lift more weight," I don't think that'd be satisfying.

... that people who take on this practice of getting into nature can actually improve their health outcomes beyond just being able to f- focus better.

What is Trump doing exactly to attack and undermine law firms in this country?

Well, the president started issuing executive orders in February, hammering a lot of these law firms with big punishments.

(instrumental music) So far, the Trump administration has targeted several of the country's most prominent high profile law firms.

We're talking about big international law firms, firms that, that represent companies and people and often challenge the government.

So these are, these are big powerful firms that do work in and around Washington, as well as other major cities around the country and the globe.

So, the way Trump has done this is he's targeted individual law firms, each gets their own executive order, and it'll say, the title will be something like, "Addressing Risks Posed By... " let's say the firm WilmerHale.

And then Trump will break down the things that he wants the executive branch to do.

Why should I even care about this?"
