Especially adults. Likewise, sex, frankly. Sex is a very important realm and it's a skill. The skill involves insight into your partner. And we've turned it into a consumable where you can chase your fetish or whatever and just watch it on a screen. And the point is that's actually not the same activity.

That's where it goes. And, you know, if we take ourselves back, you know, a couple hundred years, music, music used to be something that people loved. did. Everybody sung and they whistled and many people played musical instruments. Now music is a consumable. And the point is the reward may be somewhat similar to listening to a really good song as it is to play a really good song on an instrument.

But the degree to which you've been robbed as a human being who is capable of producing music and you just, you don't have a thought of doing it because there's so much to listen to, that's not positive for humans.

Well, you know, when I was a professor, my thought was almost the entire job of education is about incentives. It's about incentives and motivation. It's not about delivering results. content. If you can get a student to want to understand something, most of the work is done, right?

So when I look at school, I can't believe how badly structured it is because the idea is effectively it's going to threaten you into learning something. That's not going to make it stick. It's not going to make you want to learn more. So my feeling is what you want is... you want to create a desire in the student to understand the thing, then your work is pretty well done, and then it's like play.

And if we took that approach to all of these things, So that you felt rewarded by producing music, even if it's very simple, right? Well, then you might pick up music for a lifetime and be generating it decades later, right? You should not be delivered a message about sex where sex is something that is supposed to be perfected.

and therefore a person who's new to that realm feels inadequate and therefore is incentivized to abandon it and go watch it, there should be a recognition that actually this is something that you will develop over a lifetime and it's important that you do and you should want it because it's access to some of the most rewarding stuff there is. Right.
