We actually work less hours per day on average than 100 years ago, by far, as a matter of fact.

The numbers are quite astounding.

The average work time of an adult American is about three hours, 20 minutes at this point, something like that.

That's for an economy of a $30 trillion output.

Now, that counts weekend time, that counts retirement time, that counts time in school, that counts vacation time, leisure time, and so on.

But the point is, we don't work like our grandparents and great-grandparents did.

They worked not only at physical labor, but they worked around the clock, maybe six days a week.

And this is a big change, and on the whole, I believe it's a plus.

But American society, as we've been discussing, is quite distinctive.

It's barely a society.

Our political system is so corrupted, it's not regarded as a society, it's regarded as a group of particular interests, of which Silicon Valley itself is interest group number one.

It's more powerful than every other interest group.

Partly because the generals are desperate for this technology.

The military, the government has put its hands into Palantir.

Palantir is more important than the rest of our government.

They're watching everything we do.

They're building the surveillance state.

So in this sense, we have a political advantage.

an ethical problem that's quite fundamental in this country.

And again, with this current gang, these are gangsters.
