The Joe Rogan Experience

So the AI version is the same problem, but at a different order of magnitude. So I don't know what the solution is about how you create that proper incentive structure, but we are going to be living in a world in which meaning and wealth are of a fundamentally different nature.

And what we want is for people to have the tools and the incentive to explore that world productively so that when they do it well... They end up economically enhanced. And when they do it poorly, they suffer a challenge so that they are naturally led by that world to find stuff that creates wealth for all of us. Right.

Hell yeah. But again, this is another version where it's not like AI is โ€“ bad fit for the education system it certainly is but the education system has been garbage my whole life existed with an education system that was almost totally worthless and in some cases was counterproductive which is I think why Some of us folks with learning disabilities actually turn out to have an advantage.

It's not that there's something good about having a learning disability, but if it breaks your relationship to school so school has less of an easy time programming you to be a cog, then you at least retain the potential to be something other than a cog.

Well, I'm really glad you're telling me this because back when I was a college professor before 2017, since I was a terrible student myself, I was fascinated by the students who had really high potential but were just not a good fit for school. So I was really interested in what made people smart, especially when it had nothing to do with school or happened in spite of school.

And your story fits perfectly here, in fact. What you describe is sort of the equivalent of a learning disability, right? Like suspicion that your teachers aren't all that and maybe you're not so thrilled at sitting there listening to them. Occasionally it sounds like you had a teacher who was pretty good.

Wasn't terrible. But for the rest of the time, you know, school was so busy dismissing me as, you know, not performing to potential was what it said every time on my report card, right? That it was just really demoralizing. And I remember sort of in the second grade... having a kind of choice.
