And I encourage top economists in the world and philosophers to start thinking about the
how is society going to be affected by this and what should we do, including things like universal basic provision or something like that, where a lot of the increased productivity gets shared out and distributed to society, and maybe in the form of services and other things, where if you want more than that, you still go and get some incredibly rare skills and things like that and make yourself unique.
But
But there's a basic provision that is provided.
Definitely.
And I think I think we'll need new governance structures, institutions probably to help with this transition.
So I think political philosophy and political science is going to be key to that.
But I think the number one thing, first of all, is to create more abundance of resources.
So that's the number one thing, increase productivity, get more resources, maybe eventually get out of the zero-sum situation.
Then the second question is how to use those resources and distribute those resources.
But yeah, you can't do that without having that abundance first.
Well, that would be an amazing experience.
You know, he's a fantastic mind.
And I also love the way he spent a lot of his time at Princeton at the Institute of Advanced Studies, a very special place for thinking.
And it's amazing how much of a polymath he was and the spread of things he helped invent, including, of course, the von Neumann architecture that all the modern computers are based on.
And he had amazing foresight.
I think he would have loved where we are today.
And he would have, I think he would have really enjoyed AlphaGo being a game thinker.
He also did game theory.
I think he foresaw a lot of what would happen with learning machine systems that are kind of grown, I think he called it, rather than programmed.
