You have to decide and say, am I going to be disciplined and be a hyper creator or am I going to be undisciplined and be a hyper consumer? How do you make that decision? You delete your apps, delete them off your phone. You get rid of, you have an outsourced agency that does your social media for you, where it's their job to do it as creative.

You delete your apps, delete them off your phone. You get rid of, you have an outsourced agency that does your social media for you, where it's their job to do it as creative.

And you try and set up your life where you can distinguish between creativity and consumption. And you can be very disciplined in limiting your consumption. Have you done this for yourself? Of course, and by kids and the people on my team and the people I work with.

And that's why I'm even sharing it here, because I can see that as someone who works with this technology, I can see, you know what it was like for most of human history. We didn't have a lot of access to sugar and then we just surrounded humans with sugar and then like our brain was easily destroyed. distracted by sugar and we, you know, we end up with too much sugar in our system.

So it's the same thing with content. You know, it's the same thing that AI is going to do. It's going to hyper consume.

I guess my greatest fear is that my kids stopped coming to me to talk about this stuff. You know, that they're dealing with something and I don't know about it. That would be a great fear of mine. Because as someone who, I was born in 81. So I experienced life before computers and phones. And I also experienced the shift to personal computing, shift to mobile, cloud, now AI.

So I have this longer term context window of what life can be like and what life should be like and, you know, all like enjoyable, you know, what's good, like, you know, what has worked for many, many generations. So I would just hope that we always have an ongoing dialogue about this sort of stuff and that they can understand that this stuff can be the greatest asset, the greatest tool.

But like any super powerful technology, it's going to be a double-edged sword. Yeah.

It seems like just going to learn math or... The genesis of school was to create factory workers. This is not some conspiracy theory. That's what it was for. It was the Prussian, the German army wanted to create soldiers. They created the Prussian schooling system. Guy from Massachusetts came out and saw it, was like blown away. It was based on a barracks with uniforms and all this sort of stuff.

and he was just like this is what we need because we we don't have enough factory workers for our industrializing america so um uh so i think his name was horace man so he comes out and he like says we're gonna get this like militarized schooling system and we're gonna adjust it to make factory workers i think rockefeller had a famous quote about i do not want a nation of thinkers i want a nation of workers and that was the schooling and he said that in the founding of the school system

So, and that, by the way, I'm not against that because that was probably what was needed to build the world that we now take for granted. Like that's probably the best thing. The dying economy. Yeah. So it's just that that system is just not going to serve you because ultimately that system is like training you to be an AI. It's actually training you to be like an AI.
