And now so many people get so much meaning through the NFL.
We've invented the Catholic Church, all these things, and so many people.
And these create economic opportunities.
We've invented games like Go and chess that machines can do better than we can.
So I just think that my mother is in an independent living facility in Denver.
And when I go and visit her, I'm always just very mindful of what are these human tasks that are essential.
So there are people who come in and they clean her apartment.
And I think you could probably have a machine come and clean an apartment.
But these people who come, my mother has a lot of family support, but not everybody there does.
They're playing this essential human role, like while they're cleaning, talking to the people, they're checking them.
How are you doing?
How are you feeling?
That's something very, very human.
So would it be so crazy to think that even in my mother's independent living facility, where let's say we have a robot that goes and does all the cleaning, but we hire people who are the visitors and that's their job.
They just watch Wheel of Fortune with old people all day.
That's how meaningful.
That's true, actually.
So I just think that's a better job.
You're doing more of the essential human thing.
And I would pay an unlimited amount for that.
