The speaker argues that although the human spirit can feel crushed or extinguished by trauma, it persists like a "pilot light" with latent potential, which explains continued survival and conversation.

The first thing that I do is I recognize that I feel it too. That I would say that we are, as a species undergoing the greatest form of generational trauma that we will ever know in humankind. I hope we will ever know. But what I know at the depths of our soul is that the human spirit sometimes feels like it's crushed. Sometimes feels like it's completely extinguished. But my mentors have always taught me, and they gave me this little framework that the human spirit can. Can be crushed. But it's always a pilot light. It's always there. It always has an ability to have potentiality. Otherwise we wouldn't be talking. Otherwise we wouldn't be alive.
