I happen to believe that we're going to be growing our own food and we're going to be making bespoke food.

I really think that we're going to be forming guilds and humans are going to be doing things that are going to be absolutely phenomenal.

But we're not going to be doing the things that we used to do to take away 90% of our time and absolutely making it the meaning of our life.

For most of human existence, our work was not our meaning.

Our life was our meaning.

And we didn't have a separation between work and normal life.

We just had life.

The Industrial Revolution bifurcated our life, quote unquote, from our work.

And we had to be almost like a machine to fit into the cog of the production line of the Industrial Revolution.

When we are no longer part of that production line, we are rapidly being taken out of that, and the machine is going into that production line, our lives change.

And we're left with, where's the floor?

What happened?

What do I do now?

And that's what the series is about, is to try to understand it.

And, Ellen, to your question, when do we get to the point

of the ultimate, well, we never do.

So it's always going to be a phase of arriving, right?

Even when we get to that phase of nanofabrication is always gonna be something bigger and better.

So there is never any endpoint and it's never a utopia.

And that's the point I'm gonna make is that we are not going to have a utopia.
