Right, yeah, but it's the time that so much of the world that we exist in was created, right?

And people almost see themselves as a different species from human beings in the 19th century, right?

Yeah.

They can't conceive of society that way.

Exactly, exactly.

And it's something that I've been dwelling on because what a time to be alive, to see, you know,

Personal cars being so ubiquitous.

But the ubiquity of personal cars is an aberration, it's a historical aberration.

It's not one that is likely to be sustainable in the long term.

You know, even if there are electric cars taking the place of gas-powered vehicles and we run out of gas oil, even the materials necessary to produce electric cars are not always going to be around.

They're not always going to exist.

We can't supplement each and every individual person with a car for all of time.

So many of the rare earth minerals that are, again, quite rare, we've spent them on things that may serve a novelty or an interest in the short term, but it's not something that we can maintain forever.

But I'm more interested in the AI bubble in the sense that how long can this AI everywhere thing persist when the material is necessary to maintain it?

Yeah, we keep shifting, not like the goalposts, but like the terrain, right?

Like, you know, we, okay, well, we've run out of fossil fuels.

Well, that's fine.

We will do electric.

Okay, we, you know, the electric actually relies on rare earths.

Well, that's fine.
