You know, they were just symbols on a screen that you would type in and you do commands and you get it back to actually think of something that was visual and you could click on, you can drag stuff and it would actually look like a document. Like a touch screen? No, no, they didn't have touch back then. Just think of your Mac. Right. Oh, with the mouse, like clicking and dragging stuff?

They didn't have a mouse. If you go actually far enough back, everything was just keyboard. So the idea of literally having a mouse, the idea of having a cursor, of dragging and dropping files and moving it around, and actually you can be able to see that, that was literally all had to be invented and at the time not obvious.

And so folks like Doug Engelbart, there's an amazing demo you can look up. These are the people who inspired Alan Kay. He had basically predicted like in 50 years ago what computing was going to be. The possibility of networked communication that we could message each other.

The idea of the mouse, believe it or not, that was like people were skeptical that people would ever use a mouse or that was even a good idea. Essentially, at Xerox PARC, they came up with the future of computing, what would be a normal desktop and what's your MacBook today. Wow. And Apple and so on basically just got their ideas from Xerox PARC and implemented it. No way. Yeah.

they laugh i mean they think it's naive that's why it was so disillusioning for me i thought it was this place of idealism and i kind of believe the whole like hey they're trying to change the world for the better and you get there and it's not that at all it's sterile it's transactional yeah it's like pre-med and goldman sachs and mckinsey energy masquerading for you know wanting to invent things

It's now the high status thing to do is to be in startups or technology or Silicon Valley. And so there's something that just shifts deeply in culture when you go from kind of hippies and idealists and nerds and people who almost do this because they don't know what else they'll do. They're not employable elsewhere. They're not going to fit into normal culture. Now it's the exact opposite.

It's the people who are the optimizers, the performers. And so when you try to come back to these deeper ideals that technology deeply shapes us and therefore we have a moral responsibility to make it in a way that's actually wise, you're laughed at. You're laughed at the same way when you brought up healthy food back in the day. People are like, are you kidding me?
