And if machines and robots replace the meaning that we get from doing our work and contributing, then how will we find meaning and purpose?

That's something I think about 50 years from now.

If some of the predictions about what these AI mechanisms are going to be able to do, what kind of meaning will, how will we get meaning, the meaning that comes from work and contributing?

Listen, I've never been blackmailed by AI.

Well, get ready.

It's coming.

Thanks for the warning.

Yeah, look, these are the kinds of things we have to think about and what happens if and when they take a life of their own.

But I don't have the ability to extrapolate that far into the future, but you've given me something to think about.

I agree.

I agree, because otherwise it's a black box for all but those who control it.

well you have to activate everybody else you have to get all you have to provide hope to everyone else that life can be so much better than it is right now for them and that's why we've we've focused in our party in the last several months particularly on a hopeful message because we don't want is people to become despondent and detached from the political process you know if you if they don't show up then then they will be governed only by those who do

So I've asked myself, how do I go and get the mill worker in Thunder Bay to become politically active so that he can own a home and double his pay and continue to enjoy his hunting rifles and his pickup truck and the things that make his life great?

That's one of the political challenges for those of us who are trying to give power back to the people is to get the people engaged to take it.

I don't know if I would say that's true.

In Canada today, the problem I see is that people are working extremely hard.

They're running nonstop, but there's so many obstacles in their way.

If you're a young person and you want to buy a home, well, they're not building them.

We build fewer homes today than we did in the 1970s.
