Who knows where that goes?

But these are the issues that are now confronting the next quarter century here, and AI is right at the top, ethically, morally, and economically.

Do you think that we don't have enough control of technology, that technological change?

I mean, you just mentioned about the historian that's going back or the researcher that's done all this data and sees a clear line of demarcation because I've read his stuff.

It's amazing.

The clear line of demarcation in our recent past is really the promulgation of the iPhone.

And you see all these problems, particularly with that young generation technology.

It's one of the reasons we're fighting for AI regulations so hard about how these companies and how the technology is going to interface with children.

But do you believe as a historian that as you see this, that you're having a very tough time with institutions and structures that were really built for something closer to the writing of the Constitution than it is for the Homo sapien 2.0 having an institutional problem coming to grips with this?

Yeah, you're absolutely right.

And I'll just go back to what I was saying earlier about Congress.

Congress is on the verge of being structurally irrelevant.

They're getting to the point where they cannot remotely move fast enough

to deal with today's problems.

And that's why Trump has issued so many executive orders.

And it's only going to continue because they can't even begin to get a hold with legislating what he's already put in place through executive orders.

Now, the one concern that many people raise, well, what happens if we get a Democrat president, which I'm skeptical that's going to happen?

I think this – hang on.

I think maybe the current Democrat Party is going extinct the way the Federalists and the Whigs were going extinct.

People say, oh, that can't happen.
