Every day, humans make these decisions that accelerate their speed of aging, and humans can't stop their self-destructive behaviors. They can't. They're just pinned down by it. And what I'm saying is the mind is this uncontrollable self-destruction machine. We've normalized it to make ourselves feel better, but it is what it is.
And what I was trying to say is if you take this situation, give the algorithm my health data, it's going to do a substantially better job. Now, This is like on the bleeding edge. But inevitably over time, AI will become better at you, at being you in every way. It'll be better at you at giving interviews. It'll be better at you at writing posts.

It'll be better at you in having a conversation with your partner on how to resolve a dispute. It will be better than us in every way imaginable. And so it's just a matter of time. And so I'm trying to suggest on the cutting edge here, I'm trying to view this time and place from the perspective of the 20th century, what is obvious from the perspective of a few hundred years from now?

Not now, like I don't want the constraint of the two or three or four or five years, but what is obvious from a few hundred years from now?

So I experienced this a lot where I do these don't die dinners in my home. I've been doing them for several years. And it's a conversation that runs on five thought experiments. And in a similar emotion, you just had people

will have an existential crisis multiple times with the same thought process you just expressed, where they say, if I can no longer choose what I'm going to eat, I don't know why I'm going to exist. And so humans, they walk themselves into a corner where they say, I can't compute reality because this idea is foreign to me. Meanwhile, we already live in that world.

When you're looking for content on Netflix, you're not picking your content. The algorithm is picking your content for you. So it's already happening in all these different ways. So we already don't have free will anymore. We don't, we're already enmeshed in this system of algorithms and we can't see it. So the irony is we are already the dystopia that we think is happening.

We already have the same reasons to not exist, but yet we normalize to it. So it's just a new idea, but it's important to create self-awareness that we humans go to existential despair within 500 milliseconds of having a thought that is new to us. Instead of this other contemplation of, oh my God, wouldn't it be amazing if I didn't commit all these self-destructive behaviors?
