there's a lot of incredible opportunities that technology has to amplify some of the positive sides that we experience in the village of like under using the understanding of who you are to help you accomplish the things that you want right so like savings is another example where like it's just it's a top it's like a behavior that's extremely difficult for the human brain
Because it's like you have to give up something in the here and now for maybe a potential benefit in the future. Now, again, back in the village, there was probably someone who could try to help you by motivating you in a certain way. And the same is true for technology.

So if I can understand your preferences and your, again, motivations and needs, yeah, I can use it to get you to spend more, but I can also use it to get you to save more, for example. And then the last one, which I think is actually very nicely ties into this topic of connection that I've been thinking about a lot, is could we also use technology

Almost to accomplish the opposite of keeping you in your echo chamber and having us become increasingly disconnected, but as a way to actually experience the world from different viewpoints, right? So the example that I always give is if I wanted to understand what the reality of, let's say, a 50-year-old Republican farmer in Ohio looks like,

almost impossible for me to do right now because i only have one kind of view in the world right and one perspective and that's my own it's based on my experiences everything that i've seen everything that i've experienced and it would be really hard for me to understand what that reality looks like like right i would have to go there i'd have to talk to a lot of people maybe shadow someone and see what their day looks like ideally get a sense of how they process

Now, with technology, we could have something I call it like a perspective exchange or like an echo chamber swap, where the big companies know exactly what that reality looks like. So Google knows what that person sees when they search for something on Google. And Facebook knows what their newsfeed looks like. What do they talk about? Who are they connected with?

Instead of being isolated and kept in our own echo chambers, we could actually use it as a tool to expand our view on the world and become potentially connected to people who look very different to us and have totally different life experiences and that we would otherwise never get to see. And I'm talking about it in the context of the US right now.
