We are going to be living in the AI world. And maybe if we're careful about it, we can figure out how to turn that landscape of infinite possibility that you're describing into a place that doesn't change, that you always have the opportunity to decide what needs to be done, but that living over that event horizon is not an ever-changing process. It's just the next frontier.

Well, this is exactly what I'm pointing to. It is not normal for your developmental environment to fail to prepare you for your adult environment. The normal thing is, as a young person, you take on ever more of the responsibilities of the adult environment. And then at some point, you know, in a properly functioning culture, there's a rite of passage. You go into the bush for 10 days.

You come back with, you know, a large plant. you know, game animal. And now you're an adult and you take that program that you've been building and you activate it. And that is normal. And, you know, you're a lot happier person. You're a lot more fulfilled if your life has that kind of continuity to it. And, you know, I'm not against the idea that we have enabled ourselves to

do things that can't be done if that's the the limit but we have also harmed ourselves gravely and i would like to somehow pry apart our ability to improve our well-being from our self-inflicted wounds that come from this never-ending pace of change and i don't know if it's possible but i think it's a worthy goal

to uh to live uh in a way that reverses i i guess in a more local way i like that vision but i also am aware that there's a different vision right you see people in palo alto for example actually exerting you know very strong controls on how much their children are exposed to uh you know to phones and i live in palo alto So you see that.

On the other hand, what I am worried about is that the elites of Palo Alto don't realize that what they're doing is they're figuring out how to reduce the harm to their own families as they're exporting the harm to the world of these technologies that for everybody else are unregulated. And so the question is – Can we bring everybody along?

If the AI revolution is going to alter our relationship to work and everything else, can we bring everybody along so that at the end of this process, instead of saying, well, you know, it's a shame that, you know, 3 billion people were sacrificed to this transition, but progress is progress, we can really say, well, we figured it out.

And everybody now is living in a style that is closer to their programming and closer to the expectations of their physical bodies. You know, if that were true, then I would love to be wrong in my fears about what's coming. But unfortunately, the market is not going to solve this problem without our being deliberate about forcing it to.

It's a whole different topic, actually. My fear stemming from technology and AI is that this is a runaway process and that that runaway process is going to interface very badly with some latent human programs that, in effect – The need for workers largely disappears.

And the people who are at the head of the processes that result in that elimination for the need for workers start talking about useless eaters. Maybe they come up with a new term this time.
