I enjoyed this a lot. Thank you for posting. Lonnie is a most interesting intellect. Put him and Neil deGrasse and just let them talk and talk. I'll listen guaranteed. I hope they eventually do cross paths in this life timeline. Add Elon and Jeff Bezos to the conversation and let the House and Senate be old fogies clueless on where we're heading eventually. Stupid is the enemy of all of us human beings on the planet. Imagine his intellect to solve the problems of cosmic rays in space and communication beyond our world. This is what learning should be about. I live in Compton with a school board comprised of low level thinkers posing as intellectuals. Thus the potholes and lying continue.....sad. He's the most inspiriting vid I watched all week. Kindred spirits yet tech let's all in on the conversation. Very humble and thoughtful man reminding me of what was read on GWC. Henry Ford was Carver's "Patreon" if you think about it. During racism, a friend like that proved helpful indeed. If only all of America thought this way....we'd advance beyond our crippled education during Covid ect. Food for thought as I read another library book teaching myself coding at age....irrelevant.
