But the point of a computer is what is all the unrealized potential we have that we haven't explored yet? And so that just captured me deeply that, oh, wow, this entire world of technology and computing is to help us be the best version of ourselves to fully realize our potential. And the journey along the way to get to this is seeing how much that promise has not been fulfilled.

Yeah. Let me, let me go out for a second. So people really get to get the picture of this. Yeah. I think the problem here is we have no idea what we're doing. Right. We're used to designing objects. This stuff is alive. This is a total new category. When we invented computing, we started letting the genie out of the bottle.

I mean, everything you see with AI and so on is just making obvious what actually has been there for a while, which is this isn't the same as the objects we have previously. This is something that deeply shapes the people using it. This is something that deeply shapes us at all our layers of being, the way we think, our nervous system, our physiology.

And so I think the original sin here was we made these things and we're like, okay, people want more RAM. They want to do this. They want to be more productive. Let's just construct these tools. Let's pull it together for folks. And along the way, we realized, holy shit, this thing deeply shapes us, the human using it. And we never created computers with a human in mind. We didn't know anything.

We didn't know Jack about our physiology, about our nervous system, about the science of productivity and focus. And so what we're faced with now is this thing that's absolutely crucial to our life, but has never been designed with a human in mind. Has never been designed with the idea you'll use it 12 hours a day.

Has never been designed with the idea that there'll be trillion dollar companies on the other side absolutely trying to steal all the attention they can from you. When you talk to the people who first did computers, they would have never guessed that computers were thought as calculators. They were thought of these tools that just nerds and geeks use.

They would have never thought they'd be these dopamine slot machines that eight-year-olds would be spending all day on. And so finally, there's the possibility today that to sit down and say, wait a minute, we can't just keep going forever in this current trajectory because the soul of a current computer, the soul of a machine is rotten.
