Here's the actual specific way to get there.

I try to say, how do we have a flashlight so that we can together figure it out?

How do we give ourselves the best chance of figuring out the way to get there?

And I think part of the problem with communists and ideologues is that they're way too overconfident

that they know the way to get there.

And it becomes a religion to them, this solution.

And then you're not, you can't update once you have a solution as a religion.

And so.

Okay, it's not a framework for how to fix everything.

I would never say that.

I think it's a compass.

It's like a...

It's a ruler that we can, once we look at it together and see what it is, we can all say, oh, we want to go to that side of the ruler, not this side.

And so it gives us a direction to go.

So what are the parts of the ladder?

So I have these two characters, this orange guy, this primitive mind is, this is our software.

That is the software that was in a 50,000 BC person's head that was specifically optimized for, to help that person survive in that world.

Um, and yeah,

Civilization happened quickly and brains change slowly.
