Yeah, well, look, One way to riff on that is to say, look, the daemon is playing an extremely complex game. And if we use Musk's idea, the simulation idea. Okay, so in the simulation, we are trying to... Let's say that part of the purpose, central purpose, is to maximize the growth of people.

That people need to use their agency to make choices, including mistakes, so that they can gain that experience that they didn't have before, so that they can become wiser, become better, and grow. Okay. So if that's the case, like as a parent, like that's what I want for my children too. I want them to make mistakes as soon as possible, be in a high rapid learning process.

So there's no shame when they make mistakes. I'm never going to shame them because that's what they're supposed to do is make choices and some will go right and some won't. And they'll learn about themselves and other people through the process. What we would want optimally is someone like

Anna and I as parents to step there to be able to occasionally say, no, that isn't going to work well for you. But to use that very carefully, otherwise everything's a no all the time. And like, then they don't get the optimal growth path and learning of life.

And so I do think that this sort of this Damon approach and paying attention to that, like, Hey, if you're not feeling it, proceed, let's keep going. But as soon as you do, you never don't never ignore that. you just avoid so many of the catastrophic things. And in some ways, anything but catastrophic failure isn't failure. It's like, yeah, keep going, keep learning.

Just avoid the catastrophic things. And I really do believe that if people are paying attention, if they're listening, they will always have a Damon warning. That's been true in my life, and I think it's true in all the people I've talked to as I listen to them and their complex life story and their narratives. And I've done quite a bit of that over the last 25 years.

And as we've gone through literally creating a graphical representation of their life from birth to the moment we're having the conversation, in those big mistake moments, the huge things, that have been really, really big, they had a moment of warning and maybe they just were like, oh, I'm still doing it. Don't let the warnings guide you and then play openly within that lane.
