I didn’t open the jar my professor had on his coffee table, but I’ve wondered if the thing inside it was a mirror. What do you think? (If you already know what they put in those jars, don’t answer😉)

I could’ve also been viewed through a telescope by something extraterrestrial, which would be *extremely* interesting, but which would raise a different class of questions.

I think the thing I talk about at the end would be the most valuable single object on the planet, not necessarily that it should be.

Sorry, recorded this in a serious whirl. Here are some pre-drop corrections:

-Lots of people still use washboards, and very effectively, but I don’t know any of those people (yet). I apologize to them if my commentary about washboards was offensive or insensitive.

-Smell is fairly easily replicated, of course, and touch can also be replicated, but to a lesser degree than the other things. (Audio and visual are the smoking-hot topics at the moment, though.)

-The song I was going to mention was "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite", when Michael Stipe sing-laughs after singing "Dr. Zeus", because he'd intendend to sing "Dr. Seuss" instead. That kind of “imperfection” will be a little more difficult for technology to replicate, but not so difficult that it won't be done.

-I never finished talking about the possibility that I'm not going to promise, but I might do that sometime in the future.

Like I said, I was in a whirl😉

P.S. Satoshi Nakamoto is the person (or group of persons) attributed with creating bitcoin, of course.
