00:00 I think we live too long. That's why we have time to worry about all this.

00:05 We're not meant to live this long. As a species, we're about 300,000 years old as homo sapiens.

00:12 We've been around as hominids for a few million years, and of course, along with every other life form that exists at the moment,

00:17 we've been evolving for three and a half billion years.

00:20 Everything that exists at the moment all came from the same little blob of organic matter three and a half billion years ago.

00:26 That's why it annoys me when people say, "Oh yeah, humans, we're the most evolved."

00:31 We're not the most evolved. We're no more evolved than the slug or the snail.

00:58 But if you pull the shell off the snail, it starts giving it all, "Oh, I'm dying. I'm dying."

01:07 And the slug is like, "Welcome to the real world, ****."
