Through your telescope,
it's all crystal clear,
it's different paths we travel on.
When you're all alone,
and I'm way up here...
will you be there when I get home?
I’m a grown man and I just learned what love is:
love is a drug that makes a woman flawless;
love is the overwhelming need to be where she is;
love is unlike what they broadcast to me as a kid;
the feel of a warm embrace, kinda makes you appreciate
every blade of grass in the park where you had your first date;
every grain of sand in the beach where she lives;
every wave that crashed to the shore as you first kissed.
Take a step back.
Oh no we need the right parameters...
Take a step back.
We need a heart that bleeds for numbers...
Take a step back.
We need to invent a system that a human can toil in
for decades and never seem to get any wisdom.
We’re raising robots in an outdated model-
Learn when to recite the facts and learn when to follow,
Learn when to crumple to the will of authority, but
forget to love your friends unconditionally.
Through your telescope,
it's all crystal clear,
it's different paths we travel on.
When you're all alone,
and I'm way up here...
will you be there when I get home?
And that my dear is why I have to leave you,
to steal back the heart of mankind the way that thieves do,
to gaffle the baffled minds of the masses,
to teach them what this beautiful life really is.
Life is not being scared of your neighbours;
it’s not shocking headlines in local papers;
it’s not defending industry reeling onward;
it’s not pretending having feelings is awkward.
take a step back
It’s true, that a robot can do what it is that you do
take a step back
they designed automatons built to undermine you
take a step back
but you must trust, with some dumb luck, and careful introspection
that our journey will lead us to love our reflections.
So why did I pack up and fly away,
when I could be there with you as the music plays,
when we could be together, whenever, wherever?
The truth is, I’d rather be remembered forever.
Through your telescope,
it's all crystal clear,
it's different paths we travel on.
When you're all alone,
and I'm way up here...
will you be there when I get home?
“But when I was in college I thought about
What areas that would would most affect the
future of humanity In my opinion, and, the three areas were
the internet, sustainable energy, and space exploration
particularly if humanity becomes a multi planetary species.
There’s kinda like a substantial bifurcation in our
Sort of future if we’re either out there among the stars
on multiple planets, or if we’re confined to earth until
some, obviously eventual, extinction event
Not that I’m pessimistic about life on earth.
I mean, I think things are likely to be good…”
