They didn't have abundance of time.

They didn't have an overabundance of food.

The reason we're taller, everybody but me got more calories and got taller.

Yeah.

And so it's a food thing.

But in 1820, 98% of people live in abject poverty, less than $2 a day.

Today, not just the United States, the entire world is less than 10% live on $2 a day.

Constant dollars, controlling for inflation.

We went from 98% to less than 10%.

AI is going to continue that, and maybe it's exponential.

But when you have more leisure time, you have time to think of other stuff to do.

We have time for our idle brains, which are pretty big, to come up with new ideas.

So I think it's not yet known what we will think of, what may pass as work.

Maybe art is work at some point, and everybody's an artist.

But maybe there also are people who like to – even now, there's automation –

And we can grow with pesticides and fertilizers and stuff, just an enormous amount of food.

And actually, that's been good for the most part in supplying more food for people.

But there are still people who have organic farms who don't use pesticides or any of this.

There are people who have cattle with no antibiotics and no vaccines, chickens.

And that's sort of labor intensive and not as cost effective.
