I think there's some very rare areas like no one is paying attention to that are fun and interesting. I call kind of like space like emergent microcosms whereas kind of it's like all the different ways in which you can kind of use relatively small amounts of computer code to unfurl some sort of like complex virtual world. It's this weird thing that kind of isn't the intersection of physics and complexity science and artificial life and gaming and I'm not sure at least in my mind it's all kind of deeply connected maybe most people don't think it's deeply connection that's why they're not sorryThink of it as I suppose it would feel but I don't think
