And I think that the most important thing we can teach our children, which is actually antithetical to how our school system works, funny enough, because our school system was designed to feed workers into factories during the Industrial Revolution, that what we really should be teaching kids today is how to become, what is one of my favorite words, how to become an autodidact is someone who teaches themselves.

Why is that so important? I see it every day. that our teachers, the people who are teaching our children in high school, middle school, elementary school, even in college, can't keep up. They just can't. The world is moving too fast. How is a teacher supposed to update their syllabus in real time as the world is changing so quickly with all these developments in AI?

It's just moving too fast for these teachers to adapt to the skills that our kids are going to need, let alone all the regulatory changes and curriculum changes. It's just moving way too slowly.

So what we have to do is to teach our kids how to teach themselves because what they will find in the job market, no matter what industry they go into, is that pace of change is going to favor people who can very quickly assess the situation and assess what's going on with their industry.

And as opposed to just sitting there and waiting for a bailout or waiting for someone to sweep in and save them when we know nobody's going to save them, we have to save ourselves. These are the kind of people who will be able to read the landscape and say, you know what? That's not the right path.

I'm going to go switch to a different path or upgrade my skill set or take a course of action to chart my own path by teaching myself a new skill. And the good news is that that is now possible for the first time in human history, right? Like our grandparents could complain and say, you know what? My grandfather was a tailor and he was always a tailor.

He couldn't upgrade his skill set because he didn't have access to go learn a new skill, right? Only the very wealthy could go to universities so that they could have access to these big, luxurious libraries. Like when I applied to college, the most important thing when you looked at a university was how many books were in their library. Who cares? It's completely pointless.

Nobody cares how many books you have in the library because everybody has Google on their phone. And now we have chat GPT. We have all these great products on our devices that allow us to have all the facts and figures we could possibly want at our fingertips. So information is no longer scarce. We're drowning in information.
