00:00I think the most important human power is imagination and not just like in like imagination
00:05fun way but in a genuine how can this be something different because if you only rely what's on what's
00:12in front of you to inform what could be you're just going to be in a circle all the time you
00:16can't really make real progress and so I think the speculative space is a chance for both the
00:21reader and writer to stretch that essential human power which is imagination and do exactly what
00:27that young person just did and you have to be able to do that that is the if you if you can't do that
00:33you can't build new systems you can't build new institutions you can't build a new better life
00:36and so when these people particularly men say that I actually get genuinely sad about it because men
00:43are allowed to exist in this very narrow space they can't be too angry they can't ever be sad
00:49god forbid they can't read fiction somehow that fits into like almost like loftiness or whatever
00:55they gotta wear this certain kind of boring shit over here like it's a very lame small boring
01:00lame for men to exist and I think speculative fiction and speculative fiction authors are
01:05remind are sort of reminding us that like we can push past that
01:08kind of like Chinese people and other actors who have to work that's and have to apply this
01:10kind of weigh-in to the audience so you can't think about that in the audience that
01:16we can't really make a good sense of knowing that they can be more of a bit like
01:20what to do for an interview and a actor is right now well they'll join the audience
01:21in the audience and then they'll be involved with the famous actor then they don't
01:25either.
01:26They don't think that they should be a famous actor or an actor or an actor but they should
01:28also say that they currently do not seem to be a famous actor or an actor.
01:30So they don't think that they should be able to do so that it's a very crazy thing,
01:32but they're not doing for their years of search and they don't know that it doesn't seem to be that
