history's biggest leaps started as hard questions that people didn't want asked.
Yeah, there's a classic example of that at the end of the 15th century.
And the hard question in particular was, what is out there beyond the Atlantic Ocean to the West?
And as you will know, the man who found the answer to that question was the explorer Christopher Columbus.
And he realises, or rather everybody else realises,
that there is a vast continent out there, and it is, of course, the Americas.
So, you know, Anthropic knows the importance of questions, and it's why Anthropic is found.
So they asked over 100,000 people, and what came back wasn't just fear.
There was hope as well.
People wanted to know, will cancer ever be cured?
Can kids have a better future?
It turns out that there is hope in hard questions.
