00:12Why would I want to cure myself of being the most powerful creature on the planet?
00:18So there's not one single moment in your whole life that you want to be human?
00:24I never answered your question if I'd ever thought about being human.
00:29Once, I was on a trek in the Andes, and a hummingbird flew up to me.
00:36It just hovered there staring at me, and this tiny heart was pattering like a machine gun.
00:41And I thought, what a thing.
00:43You know, to have to work that hard every day, just to stay alive.
00:47To be constantly on the verge of death.
00:50And how satisfying every day must be that it survived.
00:54And that was the only time I thought about being human.

01:03So there's only an opportunity for you to be able to get away with your blood.
01:03And this is all about you to be alive.
