And I have so much confidence that that is so deep in us, no matter what tools we get that base desire, that mission of humanity.
to thrive as a species and as individuals, that's not going to go anywhere.
So I'm super optimistic about what the world looks like two generations from now.
But what you got at is really important, which is people who are already in their careers and actually pretty happy and don't want change.
And change is coming.
One thing we've seen with previous technological revolutions is in about two generations, it seems like society and people can adapt to
any amount of job turnover, but not in 10 years, certainly not in five years.
And we're going to go face that, I think, to some degree.
As we said earlier, I think it'll be slower than people think, but still faster than society has had to deal with in the past.
And what that's going to mean and how we have to adapt through that
I'm definitely a little afraid of.
We're going to have to confront it, and I assume we'll figure it out.
I'm confident we'll figure it out.
And I'm also confident that you give our children and grandchildren better tools than we had, and they are just going to do things that absolutely astonish us.
And I hope they feel horrible about how bad we all had it.
I hope the future is just so amazing.
And this human spirit...
And desire to like go off and figure it out and express ourselves and design a better and better world and way beyond the world.
I think that's wonderful.
I'm really happy about that.
