We had shadow on the ground and we said, well, it's kind of this time.

Time was invented and especially time zones was for a couple of things.

I'll give you the two big ones.

The industrial revolution to make sure that you got to the job and that was the whistle.

The church bell was really the first time clock that was to get to church or this is what time it was.

That was the clock.

The church was the keeper of time for most of the pre-industrial revolution.

and then in schools you were indoctrinated to the industrial revolution of the nine to five and you were indoctrinated to the hierarchy of a boss the teacher was the boss you shut up do your work this is how it's done do not be creative do not challenge whereas the original university the concept of the university and this is back in the 1300s was to

challenge the current state of mind of the professors.

The students were supposed to come in there and sometimes literally beat up the professor physically because you have the new idea.

It was a cleansing process of eliminating the dead wood because old men like us, we screw it up.

Now, that means that us old men have to teach the young people

right way so that the burden is on our shoulders and we're failing miserably right we can we can talk all about the young people and i can say a lot of stuff but it's a reflection of how we did our job and we failed at it and we got to face that reality all of us to some degree now maybe we might have done really good with our own kids maybe we didn't maybe we did as good as we can

because that's all we got right nobody gave us the instruction manual and there are some now i've given you one but you have to you have to take that responsibility so some of the practical points again creativity

Recognize the weak points in every career you're going to choose if you're starting on your career path.

What are the threats?

And you've got to be very real about it.

What are the threats of AI or robotics?

Because optimists will come out this year, we'll start seeing things that are going to blow our mind.

And yesterday, we already saw a robot that cleaned out the dishwasher completely.
