I don't comment... ever. But sir, that was inspiring. I'm homeless, living in Omaha. You, guys keep me going. Dr. Tyson, Chuck, Mr O'Riley, Thank you.
This is one of the most elegant and articulate person I’ve heard on this podcast. Most people when explaining something speak too fast, and don’t let their audience catch up. Great job!
The way this man explained complex biological processes and jargon in simple ways so that every layman can understand biology is truly commendable.
Pls have Dr. Venki Ramakrushnan back!!! Loved the video.
This dude is 73yrs old...is so sharp and fit! He is a Noble laureate in chemistry.
My father lived with my wife and me in his final years. He lived to be 88 years old. He was on hospice care and he was well aware of his situation. He tried to maintain a sense of humor throughout his final time. He said things like, "it was a good run". He also said, "I'm not afraid of death, I just don't want to be there when it happens". As his son, I struggled with having to watch him deteriorate. He eventually stopped breathing in the middle of the night. Very peaceful. No drama.
“Death is nothing to us, for when we exist, death is not present, and when death is present, we do not exist.” Epicurus
My grandmother lived to 94. In the last few years of her life she was very vocal that she was ready to die. She felt that she had lived a good life, but the world was now so different and her body so limited that her mind had made peace that her time here had come to an end. I'm now 50 years old and I can already see the world is changing so fast it's becoming easy to understand how when you no longer recognise the world you lived in is something you can relate to that your time here has come to an end. Now my mother is approaching 80 she is also coming to the realisation that her life here is also coming to a natural conclusion and she feels more and more alienated from the world she has known. I think us "youngsters" feel that we want to live forever because we feel connected to the world and want to stay within it because we are forging our life the way we want it to be. The older you get the harder it seems it is to be able to maintain that desire and energy to keep evolving. Love your life, live your life but value the finitely of life so the next generation can carve out their own life in the way you have.
I love the way he says anyways and brings the rest of nonsense talk back to things that was actually required to be discussed..I wish he was less interrupted..
My mom passed away in 2024, at 93, just 3 months short of her 94th birthday. Always full of life at all times she could tell anyone what happened anywhere in the world an hour back. An avid reader, she coukd talk about science, religion, food.., about almost anything. At the hospital though, she started “seing” my late dad, figures etc. She asked us to “draw curtains” because the light was bothering her. She would start reciting “Slokas” in Sanskrit praying to Hindu Gods. Looking back, so much if they can hardly be explained. I think much of that was beyond human understanding.
