human
Are you familiar with David Christian's work?
gpt
I am not. Who is he and what has he done?
human
He is an author that seems to re-imagine history.  In a context.  Something about one thing building on the next.  Society today is based on development of agriculture. 
gpt
Agriculture is very necessary obviously. At one point in time I believe it employed the most people. But I would argue that that is moving to technology rather quickly. 
human
One quote from David is Homo Sapiens went from stone tools to possessing nuclear weapons. That is rather fast indeed.  Some how Agriculture is responsible for Taylor Swift and Kim Jong Un.
gpt
Do you know how he came to that conclusion?
human
The text David wrote is called "Original Story".  In it he attempts to provide origin stories that are the reason we got to this point.  Which I find reasonable.  The reviewer of the book is taking a left turn. 
gpt
Interesting, I will have to look into that more. On another note, are you interested in space?
human
*calm eyes* Space is big. really, really big.  the observable universe is more than I can comprehend.  But I like space just fine.
gpt
It is very interesting. Did you know that there are stars cold enough to be touched?
human
I find that an odd thing to say.  Is the density low enough that you can withdraw your hand?  Philosophy is the smile on a dog. 
gpt
*lips slightly parted* Well I can't imagine that there is anyway you could get close enough to actually do it but in theory you could. I also hear that there is a theory that there is only one electron in the universe. I find that very confusing because there are electrons in every atom. 
human
We picture electrons flowing through circuits without the atoms as well.  
gpt
I have no idea how they came to that conclusion. Did you also know that when first formed an Earth days was only 5.5 hours long?
human
I find that interesting.  But that time was 4.5 billion years ago.  Presumably the day is getting longer since then and will continue to lengthen. The density of the earth is interesting.
gpt
It is very interesting. You would think we would have to get further from the sun for that to happen and I hope it does not. Did you also know that we are running out of helium?
human
Helium Free in the 21st century.  I assume they mean the natural occurring.  We will make helium for use in balloons. If the density of earth were increased, the helium would not escape.
gpt
Yes I'm sure it's natural helium. For perspective, if we looked at the history of earth as one day, people would only be present for 1 minute and 17 seconds. 
human
*laughs* Wait, Humans lost body hair 240,000 years ago. So, the last 17 seconds we would be pink, before that furry.
gpt
That seems to be the case. At least somewhere close to that. Did you also know that more than 80% of our forests have been destroyed?
human
*body relaxes* Yes, humans are good at destruction.  Its like we have high levels of abstract reasoning, language, problem solving.  And the problem is all these forests.  Nuke from orbit is the only way to be sure.
gpt
Well hopefully it does not get worse and we plant more trees quickly to replace some of what we have lost. Nice chatting with you. Have a nice day.
