You had 80%, 90% of people who were living and working on farmland and had agricultural-related jobs, and then machines came along and did those agricultural jobs. They got massively displaced. They went to the cities. They bred, and they were described like rats. In the UK, they put them on boats and sent them to Australia. This is where I'm from.

And they end up trying to get rid of people out of the country. There's too many people and they're not productive and we need to get rid of them. So a lot of people were displaced because of technology and it took 50 years, they call it the Engels pause, 50 years for the economy to start to sink back up again, like two generations.

Basically, you have the industrialists and all those working in factories and running factories and running technology, and they're making tons of money. They become wildly successful. And then the people, the peasants who are displaced and they, you know, abject poverty and outbreak of disease and all this sort of stuff. But it took 50 years to start normalizing that again.

Yeah, my belief is that this is all tech-driven. It's technology-driven. Everything we're seeing in the world right now is a mismatch of the world we were brought up for in the schooling system and the technology that we now have available. And essentially, we were prepared for a world that no longer exists. Our world got disrupted by technology.

I mean, to use an example that we could all relate to, if there was 100 of us out on a field, plowing a field, and we expected to take a month... And then two guys rock up with the tractor and they plowed in two days. And now we wonder, well, what does 98 of us do? Like, what are we going to do?

So we can see it in the past because it's so clear, but we're not as clear because it's happening to us now. But what's happening is, you know, the value of jobs is going through the floor because of technology. Technology automates things where you don't have to do the job, but it also simplifies things where anyone can do the job. It outsources things where people can do the job from anywhere.

So those three superpowers of technology means that an individual who used to have a pretty good, decent job and it was valuable in the economy, if that job is now simple or outsourceable or replaceable, that person is devalued. And it's due to no fault of their own. They're not a bad person. It's just that that in the economy is not very valuable anymore.
