There's people that I follow that I know they're tweeting 12 hours a day.

Yeah, that's right.

It's sad.

It's so sad.

Yeah, they're addicts.

My fear is that this is only going to get greater.

That too, yeah.

Well, we're trying to paddle, but that's the direction that we're moving in.

My fear is that we are no longer going to become human.

That we will no longer be human will be a different thing And I think the implementation of technology is what's going to facilitate that that word I think we're you know how many years away from neural ink and something's similar to it That's going to change how we interact completely and that it's not going to be a salute It's not going to be a question of whether or not you opt out whether you pick up your device your device is going to be a part of you and there'll be incentives

That whether it's performance incentives, whether it's you're going to have more bandwidth, whatever it is.

Yeah.

That's the real fear of something like Neuralink or whatever.

If they can figure out a Neuralink that doesn't require surgery, if they could figure out something that does that without surgery, the advantage of having that in a competitive sense in terms of like business and everything.

technology and industry.

It's going to be massive and it's going to be so difficult to get people to not do that, that it's going to be like phones.

I mean, I remember when I moved to Los Angeles in 1994, I bought a Motorola StarTAC and I was like, look at me.

I had a phone in 1989.

Oh, wow.

It was actually connected to my car in 1989.
