Robb SmithGUEST
Yeah, I think this is a common refrain that misunderstands the role in which all of our meaning making is already, always already sort of prefigured by some form of worldview or some sort of theory or meta theory about the world, and that that structures how we think about it, that structures how we act, that structures what we value, what we can see.

Robb SmithGUEST
And so if the old adage about there's nothing as practical as a good theory is true, and I think it is, then there's something even more true about the 21st century when we have global, kind of cooperation issues that are very obvious to everybody.

Robb SmithGUEST
We have global cross-border, cross-value systems, cross-nationalities, cross, cross, cross, right? Cross-disciplinary.

Robb SmithGUEST
Things that are actually real in the real world, AI, biological threats, climate change, and things happening in the ecology.

Robb SmithGUEST
Okay, so we have the colonization of low Earth orbit, right? That's not something that just, you know, has ramifications for India or an American or European or somebody in Peru.

Nicholas HedlundGUEST
And so that's the, you know, we're trying to, we're trying to articulate that and help people to appreciate that.
