So the nearest solar system is something like 3.98764 or whatever, trillion miles away, right? And so none of us understand that massive number. And so it doesn't matter if it's, you can't cut or simplify in this case. We could simplify and say it's about four light years away, but we don't understand a light year. So in this case, if it's just one number, but we can't simplify it to the extent that we can really understand it, then we have to find a comparison. So the example here is imagine that you are at your high school football stadium and you walk over to one of the goalposts and you pull a quarter out of your pocket and you drop it by the goalpost and you walk all the way across football field to the other goalpost and you drop another quarter there. If we took our solar system and the nearest nearby solar system, or we took our whole universe and shrunk it, so our solar system was the size of a quarter, that's the distance away we are from the nearest solar system, right? And that comparison is friendly to humans, right? And so numbers aren't intuitively friendly to humans. And so what we want to do is put all of our communication into a context that is audience focused. If we're talking to a computer, we can use really big numbers. If we're talking to humans, we should cut simplify and compare.

Yeah, we've done a little bit of that in the past in some of fire's work, right? So we work with college free speech zones. We don't have as many college free speech zones today in America because we've defeated most of them, but it used to be the case that one in six colleges had a free speech zone in the United States. And we would litigate some against some of these free speech zones and some of them were just absurd. And one of the ways we would use to demonstrate the absurdity was comparing it. So it's like

if the college is

a tennis court, right? The college or university is the size of a tennis court. The size of their free speech zone is the size of an iPhone. Or we would say that it's just 1% of the college campus and 99% of the campus is not a free speech zone. Or we'd say it's the size of a parking spot. There was one unique case that we had at Texas A&M University. It's a huge school, tens of thousands of students. And we wanted to demonstrate the absurdity of saying the only place on campus that you can exercise your free speech rights is this one gazebo that they designated. So Greg got one of his friends from MIT to do the calculation. And one of our talking points became if you want every student at Texas A&M University wanted to exercise their free speech rights at the same time, they would all need to be crushed down to the density of uranium-238. Nobody knows what uranium-238 is. But they would need to be crushed down to the size of an element, right? To be to exercise their free speech rights. So it's like one way of just

kind of creating absurdity out of it.
