All of it was before this engine that is human civilization, the mechanized engine,

human civilization, the electrified human civilization was born.

And it's so interesting to think how that changed everything.

Just the speed of everything keeps increasing.

The intelligence of everything, the collective intelligence of our species keeps increasing, exponentially so.

And this machine, it's almost awakening.

That's how I think of energy.

It's powering the awakening.

What an incredible system life on Earth is.

All of us together, every living organism, collaborating, leveraging whatever energy we get into creating something incredible.

This episode is brought to you by Shopify.

I like how I'm getting more and more intense.

A platform designed for anyone to sell anywhere with a great looking online store.

If you want to understand why Shopify is awesome on the engineering side, you want to go listen to the conversation I had with DHH, who espoused the beauty, the power, the elegance of Ruby on Rails that Shopify was built on.

On another note, I went to NeurIPS and hung around in the booth, I guess you could say, of Shopify engineering.

It's just a bunch of great engineers talking about the various aspects of what it took to bring Shopify to life.

I think it's Shopify.engineering, if you're curious, actually.

If this is your kind of thing, if you want to understand why Shopify as a machine, as a service, is incredible, you go there.
