And women or people high in feminine traits can find and do find their greatest meaning and purpose in people and connections.

And so the more they do that, the better they are.

And AI isn't going to take that away as fast, although AI companionship and all that is real and it's happening and it's a danger.

But from the men of the world or the people high in masculine traits,

you take away what has been their identity meaning purpose jobs works things that matter things that bring respect and you've got a catastrophe the likes of which we can't imagine because the men who you know men in general birthed the world obviously women were the wind beneath their wings and sometimes they were building it too

But those same men will burn it down if they don't have a job, if they don't have purpose.

So these are the real challenges.

But again, this is what the vision showed me.

It showed me all this, even before the male crisis and the meaning and purpose crisis, I was seeing that, but it also showed me it is in such crises as these, if we're willing to ask the right questions and support ourselves in this, this is where you crack through to an identity, to a meaning and to a purpose,

that is bigger and deeper and richer and will lead to greater fulfillment than we've ever experienced.

So that's the big silver lining is if we're willing to ask these deeper questions again, if we're willing to sit quiet and alone in a room, as the saying says, all of man's troubles come to his inability to not sit alone in a room quiet.

If we're able to do that and ask these hard questions,

we have the chance to find meaning and purpose that not only can AI never take away from us, but can elevate and create a world in a real age of abundance

you know, in a new renaissance even.

So I'm very optimistic on what's possible.

And I'm also being very realistic about the real crossroads we're at.

And I'll tell you, for me, the answer to what is it about us that's unique or what are we really?

i mean there's the religious connotations you know made in the image and likeness of god and for for secular when you think in the secular terms that really just means that we have the same creative faculty that all of creation does the universe nature meaning the ability to create something out of nothing

And that's why that's the metacognition.

Again, even though we're in the midst of a crisis, we can separate ourselves from the pain, from the challenge, from the empty bank account or the broken body or being in prison.
