So it's, like, the first one's a desktop robot that's, you know, you could control with a little remote, but then we encourage people to go in and, like, tweak the code and make it really easy.

Modern Wisdom

And then hopefully you take that and do that to other parts in your life.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

Yeah, that is cool.

Modern Wisdom

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

I feel like we are drowning inputs and sort of starved for outputs.

Modern Wisdom

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

Right?

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

Actually doing something with our own hands.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

That time is now just like...

Modern Wisdom

Modern Wisdom

So I made a goal of like, I am going to play chess, but my goal, I'm going to try and win, but my real goal is to lose 10 times.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

Right.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

And I'm not going to feel like I checked that box until I've lost 10 games.

Modern Wisdom
