But the question is, once it's used, what do you do with that information? Do you pivot or do you kind of like put your head in the sand? And I think it's really, really important for us to always take responsibility to imagine the kind of world we want to live in. Maybe imagine the kind of world you want your children to live in and say that like, we can design that world.

And I think that's the role of a designer. The role of a designer is to assemble things, components, or technology to better suit the needs of society. And you're constantly in a state of redesigning based on getting more information. And it's easy to get defensive. Well, those people are just attacking me. So I'm going to defend.

But at some point, you do have to look in the mirror and ask, well, is what they're saying true?

And if it is true, and sometimes usually what happens is some things are saying is true and then some things aren't and not take it personally and say, well, I'm going to address the part that is true. And I think that is just what we need.

And I do think there's a new generation of technology leaders that I do think are just seeing the impact that their forebears had and they're starting to try and anticipate the needs a little bit more.

When I started Airbnb, there weren't a lot of billionaires in tech. There were hardly any. And I kind of joked that if I wanted to make money, the last thing I would have done is started a company called Airbed and Breakfast. So when we came to Silicon Valley, it was much more passion projects because there wasn't as much money.

We assumed we weren't going to be successful and we just made something for ourselves that we loved. I think the values have changed a little bit because there's so much money that is so tempting. And I do think the money creates, as we talked about, this momentum, this pressure, this blinding magnet. And I think it can distort, yeah, a sense of people's priorities.

And having gone through this now, it's like, it's really difficult, but sometimes you have to get to the top of the mountain to realize that was never about that mountaintop and you're not much higher than you ever were before. And I think it is true that like, I mean, why do people want money? I guess because they want status, they want happiness.
