And so for me with retirement, I think about it and it's a dial.

You know, like, so for me that, you know,

Like, you know, I don't think that you have to stop being economically, you know, kind of contributing and, you know, it'll throw the whole system into disarray.

But, you know, here we are.

But we won't be retiring at one third of the way in unless AI and robots are doing it all and we're in a post-scarcity world or something.

It could be that we find new ways to keep growing.

That's my hopeful side.

Maybe not.

Yes.

Can we maybe get here and then have a little bit more of the higher order self-actualization worries?

Yes.
