Oh yeah, made it worse.

You're absolutely right. You know, there is this really silly idea that a lot of humans have that because something was more affordable before, it has to revert to that trend line. That's just not fucking true.

It does not have to become affordable again. It could be expensive forever. I mean, this is not technology. Technology is easy to disrupt.

Yeah. And it can be scaled infinitely. You know, a new software can come out and change the world. Look at what OpenAI did with ChatGPT. That's right. Right. That's just changed the world. It's disrupted everything. And then DeepSync, if you believe that's a real thing that just came out, you know, the Chinese AI, you know, might have disrupted them. Okay, great. Houses are simple, low-tech items.

They're made from commodities that everybody on Earth needs. All those ingredients we mentioned earlier, every human on Earth needs those things because they need shelter. And you just can't disrupt it. Yeah. Your prior guest, you kind of alluded to it, but he didn't really expand on it too much. 3D printed houses.

So a few years ago, I was going to start a 3D printed house construction company of my own because I thought that was an opportunity. I hired a consultant. He's been on my show a few times. Really interesting guy. It's all he does is study that. It's not the solution. Okay. There's a lot of false advertising around 3D printed housing, at least today. Sure. Because...

You know, they'll say, well, we built these houses in Austin, Texas for $10,000 apiece. Well, they didn't include the land cost. They didn't include plumbing, electrical, HVAC. They didn't include cabinets, interior finishes of any kind. It's just the thing that went around and wrapped up. It's stupid. It's just false advertising.

Remember, a 3D printed house, even though the construction is more efficient, it's still made of material. That's right. And those materials are low-tech items that have to be produced, and they cannot be disrupted easily. You know, you're not going to invent some new type of concrete that solves... It's still material. That's right. And if it's digitized, it can be demonetized.

If it's just a simple commodity, it's very hard to demonetize that. OK. So anyway, back to I don't know what inflation now.

Oh, sure.
