You have to be very careful and judicious.

when you pull things out of a natural state, I'm being very choosy with my words there.

If you're not directing stress, you're letting something else direct that.

That stress is still coming one way or the other, which means adaptation is coming.

So you can be intentional and point that ship in one direction, or you can cover your eyes and think it's not happening at all and realize you're getting pointed somewhere else.

It's better to at least direct

have the acknowledgement.

This is why the word consciousness is in the title of my book.

This is part of the process, right?

You can be aware of it or you can not.

From there, you can choose whatever you want.

That's entirely up to you and all that.

I just want people to realize you're making a choice one way or the other.

So when you involve technology in the picture, AI is another really, really challenging thing in a lot of ways.

and I'll reiterate, we've seen this already play out and we know the answer is this gets worse in terms of we're not going to make very good choices right away.

How does that manifest itself in the end?

I don't know.

Nobody knows.

But to date...

we're not particularly good at making that decision.
