This is actually being accelerated in the 21st century.
I'm actually quite positive.
We do know that in recent, well, actually decades, there's been this tendency for companies to merge and companies get bigger and
and staffing in many big companies has become somewhat bloated.
I mean, there was... David Graeber wrote this book, Bullshit Jobs, and I apologize for the language, that's the book title.
And...
You know, the argument is that actually a lot of these jobs are sort of redundant and that has become part of the sort of European-American industrialized country business modus operandi.
And I think these jobs are clearly now endangered.
But at the same time, AI gives a lot of people new opportunities.
And the most important area, which I think is very important for economic growth, is not going to suffer.
What is that?
And I think that's right up your alley and all the things you're doing, Pat.
Entrepreneurs, you know, owners of small firms, small firms, micro businesses, entrepreneurs have now more opportunities.
And essentially what, you know, I'm, I would, you know, as a professor also at uni, what I'm telling the young generation is you gotta, you know, if you so far you haven't thought about being an entrepreneur,
You should think about it now.
And it's an exciting thing.
And I try to give some examples and essentially think of ways to set up a new business, offer new goods and services.
And there's just so many areas because of the changes.
And they're going to be big changes.
It's really a fantastic opportunity for small firms.
