Transcript: I think one of the things is I want a reflective surface that allows me to reflect on myself and also reflect into the universe and to people. Be able to share my reflections and thoughts with people. Yeah. That would be pretty nice. I guess I could podcast my life, which would be weird, but I could do it. But I don't know how many places I'll like put that in real time, you know, like I don't know if I'd want to go to the climbing gym and do that. And at the end of the day, yeah, I don't know. It's a weird thing to do that, I think. But it's going to happen. Just as it's weird to film yourself in the gym, but people also do that. So my tolerance for like weird stuff is pretty low in some respects. Like, I don't even want to take my phone out to take a picture sometimes. So. But no one else has a problem with that. But yeah, I don't know. That's also a strange one for me because like some of that is just like being present to not just like taking photos for the sake of, you know, taking photos and knowing like. I probably am not going back to those personally. Like, I'm just not a person who goes back to my photos very often. And I wish my practice of going through my photos was better. That I do wish. And it would be great to have a computer that basically reminded me like, hey, check this out. And remember when you took this, like, what's up with that? Yeah, I don't know. Maybe there's something to that. I think my brain is also just thinking too hard about all this. I mean, fundamentally, like the question I'm trying to solve is like, I want to be able to ask any question about myself. Which is thoroughly narcissistic. Yeah, I have some work to do for sure. So, yeah, I'm going to go meet this guy and I guess go from there. I wonder if I should give Gail a slackline. I wonder if I should give everyone a slackline. Yeah, I already brought all the load. Ah, I already brought all the load. It's an interesting idea. How much is ClimbSpec webbing?
