A lot of people will choose that world.
I think some people may.
There's also, I mean...
You know, whether you're consuming entertainment or whether you're doing something, you know, cooking or painting, whatever, because it's fun and interesting to do, what's missing from that, right?
All of that is purely selfish.
I think one of the reasons we work is because we feel valued.
We feel like we're benefiting other people.
And I remember having this conversation with a lady in England who helps to run the hospice movement.
And the people who work in the hospices where the patients are literally there to die are largely volunteers, so they're not doing it to get paid.
But they find it incredibly rewarding to be able to spend time with people who are in their last weeks or months to give them company and happiness.
So I actually think that interpersonal
will be much, much more important in future.
So if I was going to advise my kids, not that they would ever listen, but if my kids would listen and wanted to know what I thought would be valued careers in future, I think it would be these interpersonal roles based on an understanding of human needs, psychology.
There are some of those roles right now,
So obviously, you know, therapists and psychiatrists and so on, but that's a very much an asymmetric
where one person is suffering and the other person is trying to alleviate the suffering.
Then there are things like, they call them executive coaches or life coaches.
That's a less asymmetric role where someone is trying to help another person live a better life, whether it's a better life in their work role or just how they live their life in general.
And
So I could imagine that those kinds of roles will expand dramatically.
