Look at the reproduction rate in Asia.

It's essentially 1.0 for two parents.

This is not good.

So for the rest of our lives, the key problem is going to get the people who are productive, that is, in their productive period of lives, more productive to support old people like me, who will be bitching that we want more stuff from the younger people.

That's how it's going to work.

These tools will radically increase that productivity.

There's a study that says that we will, under the set of assumptions around agentic AI and discovery and the scale that I'm describing, there's a lot of assumptions,

that you'll end up with something like 30 percent increase in productivity per year.

Having now talked to a bunch of economists, they have no models for what that kind of increase in productivity looks like.

We just have never seen it.

It didn't occur in any rise of a democracy or a kingdom in our history.

It's unbelievable what's going to happen.

Hopefully, we will get it in the right direction.

So one thing to remember is that this is a marathon, not a sprint.

One year, I decided to do a 100-mile bike race, which was a mistake.

And the idea was, I learned about spin rate.

You just, every day you get up and you just keep going.

You know from our work together at Google that

It's when you're growing at the rate that we're growing, you get so much done in a year, you forget how far you went.

Humans can't understand that.
