"I think we all realized that we had really been replicating things that had already been happening. I don't know if we were smart enough to realize that we were in a cul-de-sac, but we were curious"

In this quote, David Baker is reviewing a previous experience where he and others were reproducing something that was currently occurring. He confesses that they might not have actually know it at the time, however looking back, they were basically stuck in a dead end. However, despite this awareness, they were still curious and eager to continue checking out. This could suggest that even though they may have been duplicating the very same actions, they were still open to learning and finding brand-new things. It also highlights the importance of self-awareness and recognizing when we might be stuck in a cycle.
