Rand Paul

That is reward.

Work is a reward.

I can tell you that I've never been unhappy.

Maybe I'm lucky in the work I've had, but I've always wanted to go to work.

And I've done hard jobs.

I've roofed houses.

I've worked on lawns.

I've done every job that a kid growing up in the 70s can ever do.

But I was never unhappy to do it and always felt better.

If I sweat off 5 pounds, 10 pounds in the hot sun, I felt great.

Well, yeah, I didn't want to do them forever.

You're right about that.

Yeah.

And I notice you don't really sweat too much in this current gig you've got.

Yeah.

There has to be work and I hope people won't preach too much that AI is going to be no work because that to me is a despairing future.

It's a dystopian future when there is no work.

Most of the time, and this is why I do respect Elon Musk and think he may know more than I know about this.

The reason I would say is that from a historical perspective, every bit of automation has led to more jobs.

This would be the first time in the entire history where automation took jobs.
