What is life? What is this stuff of life?

It is essentially the stuff of life meets machine.

In fact, we can even make the stuff of life as I just said, all the stuff around us.

How did look at the stuff in your life?

And in fact, it has created us, has created life, has created all the stuff of life.

There's a wonderful book called Stuff The Hidden Life of Everyday Objects.

The really neat thing about this stuff is that's life.

The stuff has a very short half life, same with brain science.

The good news is we are starting to recover materials from our end of life stuff and starting to recycle our end of life stuff, particularly in regions of the world like here in Europe that have recycling policies in place that require that this stuff be recycled in a responsible manner.

So so, my goal in life was to do stuff that wasn't made out of Helvetica.

And I'm going to use it to give you my take on the stuff of life.

How much stuff goes through your life, how much waste is left behind you.

But there's a kind of wonder in the stuff that gets edited away in the cords of life.

Basically the stuff of life is natural capital, and we need to recognize and build that into our systems.

So I hope I've changed the way you look at at least some of the stuff in your life.

Most of what's extracted from our end of life stuff, if it makes it to a recycler, are the metals.

But you are made of stuff, and you are using stuff, and you enslave stuff.

I hope, within the next 10 minutes, to change the way you think about a lot of the stuff in your life.

And decorations. Yet all that is nothing but the stuff of this life. Yet the Hereafter, with your Lord, is for the righteous.

Some of the stuff we share is stuff we've made.

Some of the stuff we share is stuff we've found.

They've done incredible stuff, unbelievable stuff.

DG All this stuff is happening along that 40,000 mile long mountain range that we're calling the ribbon of life, because just even today, as we speak, there's life being generated there from volcanic activity.

Every life form on this planet every insect, every bacteria, every plant, every animal, every human, every politician is coded in that stuff.

So all my life I have wanted to find this stuff out, and spent the last four years tracking these old guys down.

Lots of complex stuff.

This stuff is really important. This stuff is really vital.

STUFF

And I like this because it challenges the way that we design stuff, and build stuff, and potentially distribute stuff.

And so if you go and ask yourself, What on Earth is artificial life? , let me give you a whirlwind tour of how all this stuff came about.

But there's lots of stuff.

And then Drake's Equation, which is looking at the probability of life arising on planets, how long it might last, how many planets are out there, stuff like that.

It's the same stuff as this and the same stuff as this.

Stuff happens.

Whatsoever has been given you is the stuff this life is made of, and only its embellishment. What is with your Lord is better and abiding. Will you not understand?

They're looking at the really little stuff that gets eaten by the slightly less little stuff that eventually gets eaten by the big stuff.

Some of this stuff is hard.

Look for that kind of stuff.

But all of us own stuff.

I love that kind of stuff.

A little seed weighs a lot and, basically, all this stuff, 99 percent of this stuff, came out of the air.

So also, put reliable stuff last, the stuff that's going to run every time.

But we want stuff that we're going to love for years, not just stuff.
