But I don't think it's crazy if the AIs turn out to be as powerful as we think. And then the much less intense version that I think is very real is anything you have that prevents you from embracing change right now is a huge limiter.

I love the word choice, to respect it. So the first thing, I guess, to be very honest, was I talked to Avni about what are we doing to educate our kids.

What is the right way to teach them in a world where the tools that are going to be available to them are going to be totally different? We realized that I don't think that there's actually skills that I can teach them. There's behaviors, there's feelings, there's approaches.

We got to make sure they're resilient, adaptable, and they're high agency. I think the reason that that then dovetailed with like what have changed now, I was sort of like, that's the same thing you have to be if you're like at a company. You actually need the exact same things. And you and I have talked about this separately. And I think you've added a couple to that, which we should go through.

Those same behaviors are going to have to exist in the company. Specifically, what have I done personally is I try to use it more for real work. I had dinner with somebody recently, and I hope he's not listening because of the setup I'm going to give you. But it was with a company, somebody who was on the board of a company that I didn't know that much about.

I was not well prepared for the dinner and it was somebody who I wanted to make sure I had a productive conversation with.

And he said, no, can you tell me these four or five things?
