I think that we're going to have thrillingly exciting discoveries being made. We're going to have problems solved that we are, as humans, unable to solve. And so there'll be amazing technological innovations that are going to make things much more convenient. I think there'll be huge life science breakthroughs. I think there'll be huge material science breakthroughs.

I think there will be wild competition for who controls it. I completely agree with you about that. And I think that as that unfolds, it's going to be really messy. I think that there's going to be like unbelievable amounts of jobs are going to be lost and people are going to not have jobs. So what the fuck are they going to do? Right. So this is part of what I'm describing.

People need to train at the ability to recreate themselves. Right. Like how some people can move from one art to another and others can't. I think we have to train at the art of rediscovery. Right. So I think we're going to be tested as a species in our ability to. To recreate our identities and to live in a state of dynamic flux, of embracing new paradigms.

Paradigms are going to be shifting all the fucking time. The pace of change is going to be radically accelerating for the rest of our lives. The rest of our lives, right? So if that pace of change is accelerating, then we need to have the ability to recreate ourselves as things shift. We all know that like... You can't be solving the problem that was important in a fight a minute ago.

It's a different fucking problem than we have right now. Or in a chess game an hour ago, or 10 minutes ago, or one minute ago. As a society, we need to be solving the problems that are and that are coming, not the ones that were 10 years ago that we're emotionally addicted to. But humans don't fucking do that. We tend to cling to our ideas, the decisions we've made.
