And i mean, that's something that science has been striving to get away from, and that's kind of where that view has arisen from, that we shouldn't think we're anything special because now we've refuted religion. Those

have been some of the philosophical implications of certain scientific discoveries, like the fact that the universe doesn't revolve around the earth and that type of thing. But that

has led to to an unfounded pessimism about people and what inde can do. Andand i just wanted to touch on you, sad am. Yes, the world is explicable. And i know that some people use the arguments of yes. But maybe thereare, you know, maybe we can't understand the world, then you have to look out and look at the aerplanes, or explain how you can use net flakes, or how we can talk now in real time, for free, across the world. That is not coincidence. That doesn't just happen. That happens because we do understand something about the world. And i wanted us to define, like we said before, the idea, or rather, explain, what a good explanation is. Bcause you mention that people can create explanations. That is what, what is unique about us. So what is a good explanation? Well, a good

explanation is basical, like, if you have a good explanation, you actually understand a thing. So un it's about understanding. Understanding doesn't entail having just memorized the facts or that type of thing. I think david said in his first book, something like, i've never wanted to, you know, know, the fall of every sparrow, or something like that, like, why, like, what's, what's the point in that? But if you want to actually understand how something, how something works, you have to kind of seek a good explanation for how and why it worksr that it is. Yes. So a good explanation is an explanation that's hard to vary, which means that the the content of the explanation has details such that if they were changed at all, that explanation would no longer actually explain the phenomena it was set out to explain, or rather, solve the problem that it was set out to solve. And so that brings us to the other side of the coin, which is a bad explanation. And a bad explanation is an explanation that's easy to vary. It has contents that if you could change about freely, and then it would, it would still purport to solve that problem, or explain that phenomenon, but really it's like, and so what's so cool about this is that, so david has a ted talk, or i think he says something to this effect, like that there's no real consensus on, like, how reason like actually works, or like, how progress actually e works and all this stuff. D then he was like, but i'll tell you, i'll tell you what it is. And it's this quest for good explanations that we seek to understand things better and better by trying to find explanations that are hard to vary for those phenomena. Ok.
