It's pushing power to the small rather than the large.

At another level, though, it is digital.

And we have created a property rights system.

And it does seem to be the case that some sort of AGI or ASI could leverage our

immutable, can't turn it off world computer for things that humanity actually doesn't want.

Are you worried at any level about that being an outcome that it just uses Ethereum for, hey, humanity, thanks for the property rights system.

We'll take it from here.

And you've now actually accelerated a technology that is counter humanity?

Just last question as we draw this to a close, Justin, this has been absolutely fantastic.

Thank you.

And maybe this is a kind of a personal question as you've had an AI awakening over the last few months.

I now notice you're qualifying the Ethereum with like, if humanity survives.

So Ethereum plays a key role if humanity survives.

Those words are hard to say for me.

It's hard to actually get that out of my mouth because that is a caveat that

I've not had to think about or deal with, like the real possibility that the technology accelerationism means humanity doesn't survive.

How do you deal with that personally?

Yeah, I do think that is for another episode, Justin.

It's a fantastic answer, though.

I appreciate your insight into approaching this with some level of stoicism and then agency, which is working on things that are meaningful to you.
