So Terence told me a story on that long-ago night, and I believed it.

And during Terence's illness, I, we, we wanted to believe the story of our fight together too.

Maybe we need a new story, not a story about giving up the fight or of hopelessness, but rather a story of victory and triumph, of a valiant battle and, eventually, a graceful retreat, a story that acknowledges that not even the greatest general defeats every foe, that no doctor has ever succeeded in making anyone immortal, and that no wife, no matter how hard she tried, has ever stopped even the bravest, wittiest and most maddeningly lovable husband from dying when it was his time to go.

So maybe we need a narrative for acknowledging the end, and for saying goodbye, and maybe our new story will be about a hero's fight, and a hero's goodbye.

I would like to tell you a story connecting the notorious privacy incident involving Adam and Eve, and the remarkable shift in the boundaries between public and private which has occurred in the past 10 years.

And my story is about these tradeoffs.

There is a second privacy interpretation of the story of the Garden of Eden which doesn't have to do with the issue of Adam and Eve feeling naked and feeling ashamed.

And this very encouraging story, I think, is partly demographic-led.

They assumed two percent, and that made it a pretty hopeless story, because population growth was two and a half.

Now I'm thinking of myself at eight, I concede, but I'm also thinking of this story I heard on the news.

For this reason, the majority of theoretical physicists believe that the Higgs boson could not be the full story.

And this, in a nutshell, is the essence of the Higgs story.

But this story is far more interesting than that.

My story does not have an end, because we still don't know the end of the story.

This is science in progress, and to solve the mystery, we need more data, and hopefully, the LHC will soon add new clues to this story.

You and I can experience things without a story.

Our story of our life is based on direct experience, but it's embellished.

A novel needs scene after scene to build, and the story of our life needs an arc as well.

But the story is not about these chapters.

Our story, therefore, needs two dimensions of time: a long arc of time that is our lifespan, and the timeframe of direct experience that is the moment.

This story of horrific violence followed by a fumbled approach by federal and local authorities as they tried to engage civil society, who has been very well engaged by a criminal organization, is a perfect metaphor for what's happening in Mexico today, where we see that our current understanding of drug violence and what leads to it is probably at the very least incomplete.

And when we do have the occasional European success story, even those, then, typically end up being sold to the United States.

But that little story is really about the fears and misconceptions that come along with the idea of moving through the city without sight, seemingly oblivious to the environment and the people around you.
