But the technology has increasingly become like magic.

You just snap your fingers and things happen.

And if you want to do something, you can just do it.

when we're talking about adults trying to do their work in the world, that's mostly a good thing.

Like I'm all in favor of tools that help us adults do our jobs better.

But when it comes to children, children need friction.

The last thing you want is to make your child's life effortless and frictionless.

Um,

And especially when it comes to vice, this is the thing that's so upsetting to me now.

You know, when I wrote the book, I wasn't thinking about gambling, but I was writing in like 2023, especially.

And then by 2024, 25, now it's everywhere.

It's throughout child, I mean, not young childhood, but you know, high school boys are, I mean, they used to watch sports a lot and talk about sports.

And now it's a lot of it's about the betting.

You don't have to be 18 to bet.

There's all kinds of ways around it.

And so again, I just want everybody to understand the technology has given us a world that has changed certain parameters so that in a way we're getting close to the vision that my high school physics teacher had of a frictionless world in which everything's gonna fall apart.

I think you're absolutely right that there are regulatory systems that we've developed over a couple of centuries that will encourage economic dynamism.

We want people to innovate, start companies, invent products, market them, sell them, advertise them.

We want that all to happen.

But you have to have conditions that encourage efficient markets where there's no monopoly, there's no external costs foisted on people who weren't part of the transaction.
