Given my age, I'm good.

Given your age, you're good.

But it is a very big change.

Again, people want to compare it to the Industrial Revolution.

That happened over 200 years.

This is going to happen over 10 or 20 years.

And it might be that what's caused political polarization in the last decade or two is rate of change.

So think about since NAFTA, sort of the rise of globalization, the redefining of marriage equality, immigration, all kinds of change in society.

And one view is enough of our fellow Americans, it's just too much.

and it radicalizes them and they're willing to vote for things they wouldn't normally vote for.

And if that's fundamentally what's going on in US society, as well as Brexit and a couple other places, then we're in for a pretty big storm because the rate of change is not gonna slow down.

The rate of change in society, partially or maybe largely driven by AI is gonna be large.

And so that may be that, you know, how everyone today is nostalgic for Reagan.

You know, there may be a day when we're nostalgic for Trump, that our polarization has really continued to increase because the rate of change has continued to increase.

So that's why I think it's so important that leaders like all of you are thinking about

How do we build bonds?

How do we have people of Americans care about each other so that we can keep the society coherent and caring despite the rapid amounts of change generated by technology?

With GDP growth.

So you can either automate away the jobs.

That's one theory.
