and tells me that I've done a good job and then I put the heavy things down and then at the end of that I feel really good and I pay him a bunch of money. My grandfather would be like, what on earth have you been scammed? So we can never predict what this future of jobs would look like. Even just 20, 30, 40 years apart, the jobs rapidly and convincingly just morph into something else.

I think it's very dangerous, the idea that we need to focus on skills. I think the future is not in skills. Skills are being replaced. It's this idea that the education system has to stop being compartmentalised and has to be a lifelong learning approach. The Department of Education needs to be seeing people as lifelong learners who are constantly disrupted and need re-education.

That's going to be a thing. The Department of Education needs to start... as a kid and go right through to maybe 70. Does the Department of Education have a role anymore at all? Depends on your definition of education. I think if you're trying to teach kids or if you're trying to teach kids to, you know, remember facts and figures from a history book, then no.

But if it's about coaching, mentoring, being displaced, finding the next thing, and maybe if it's AI driven and all of those kinds of things, then no. It's a different paradigm shift around what education is and what its purpose is. And if we see it as a fluid thing where we wave into an opportunity and then wave back into education, spotting a new opportunity and then back here.

If we're learning rather than skills, but we're learning tools. So it's a tools-based education as opposed to a skills-based education. The purpose of education for most of human history was about virtue, about becoming a great person who had good judgment and who had good values. And we don't really do much of that anymore. But I think if we essentially said,

If we get back to, if we ask the question, what is the purpose of education and where does it fit in our lives and what timeframe does it go for? And then we just trust that people are going to come up with weird and wonderful jobs. You know, this sounds crazy, but also, and this is a weird analogy, my cat is incredibly happy. How do you know?

It demonstrates all the characteristics of being a happy cat. And it lives in a world of super intelligence as far as it's concerned. So there's this house and food just magically happens. It has no idea that there's this Google calendar that runs a lot of things that happen around it. The food gets delivered. Money is magically made by something that is inconceivably more intelligent than the cat.

And yet the cat has evolved to be living this life of purpose and meaning inside the house. And as far as it's aware, it's got a great life.

Exactly. But what's in it for me to hurt the cat? Because in this analogy...

There are things that the cat is highly disrupted by due to no fault of the cat. I get it. But as far as cat existence goes and the history of cats, if you were to ask that cat, do you want to trade places with any of the other cats that came before you, it would probably say, I don't want to take the risk because all the other cats had to fend for themselves in a way that I don't have to.

It's very possible that we end up living somewhere
