most importantly build skills that i know are going to be durable call it a decade or two from now so empathy is a skill that i think will be the last bastion of ai like you're seeing you've probably seen the videos now of robotics and the leaps and bounds that's starting to make still early days but

There are skills, there are professions where empathy is so, so, so important and the physicality of being present one human to another where, at least I personally believe, if we ever get to that point with AI and with robotics, we can pretty much call it as a species because at that point, I don't know if you're that self-aware to be that empathetic and that effective in those moments.

My sister is an RN. When her job... can be done just as well, or ideally even better, by a robot as a nurse. When that job can be done, you'll also have to then explain to that robot that they're going to be a nurse for the rest of their lives. And if they are that all powerful, there's no way they're doing that job because the humans who do it are so remarkable.

Like it's not that if, if they, they would, that that's the moment when the robots are like, no, no way, no chance. We're enslaving you now game over. Yeah. Because the humans who are doing that as the last mile of humanity required in terms of like the physical dexterity required, the creativity, the problem solving, the empathy, all of that stuff. So she's got job security for a very long time.

And, and I just believe that, If you can be equipped and you can exercise those muscles around problem solving and learning, you will be at the forefront for however this technology changes things. And that's the advice we're trying with Olympia. Adira's only one, so we're still early days there. Yeah, you've got a long way. But I would say that's where it is.

The more comfortable you can be in the discomfort of constant change, the better. And then look towards the skills. And this is the part that gets me fired up. I actually think we're going to see the pendulum is going to swing back for a lot of human work that we would have considered more artisanal because we'll crave the humanity of it. So I think food. So again, imagine a world where

You know, I've tried, my wife's a great baker. I really just do pancakes. I tried making croissants over COVID because I was like, I love a good croissant. Who doesn't? And I was like, let me just watch a YouTube video and see how to make a croissant. Making croissants is a lot of work. You got to take that sucker out of the fridge regularly, put more butter in, knead it.

Like it's, it's a labor of love. I've made it once. They turned out six out of 10. Okay. They were edible, but like not great. But now every, I will never make them again. But, but now every time I eat one, I have so much more respect for the process. making you know if we imagine automation robotics the world's greatest croissant should be pretty solved

and pretty affordable and pretty cheap as technology, again, the robotics are doing all that tedious but important work, it'll be solved. And we will all be able to get a magically delivered, perfect croissant right on time, fresh, affordable. This is a dumb example, right?

But in a world where you can see robots making commodities out of something like food, I actually think then the pendulum, again, as humans, swings to the artisan who's actually spent their lifetime perfecting this thing. And even when you can get the commoditized version, Some people sometimes will still seek out that very human version of it.
