And then the benefit from creating that stability and that protection is we can go and now you go do that music thing.
I'm going to go do this other thing over here.
And once you get into that hyper specialization, the whole world models itself or structures itself, a much better word, structures itself around economics, period, end of story.
And so then you're like, well, hold on a second.
When people say money makes the world go round, what they're saying is that the very structure of our entire modern way of life is economics, right?
And that's why when I look at AI coming in, the way that it's going to disrupt things, which to put it very simply, it will almost certainly simply eradicate capitalism.
And it's like, okay, right now people aren't loving capitalism, so I get why they think that's a good thing.
And honestly, on the other side, it probably is.
But if you think about it this way, if it's like 1916,
and I tell you, hey, on the other side of World War II, we have an unprecedented run of peace in the West, you would go, oh, wait, there's no World War I. On the other side of World War II, what do you mean?
And it's like, yeah, we're gonna have to kill
I mean, if you'll count communism, we're gonna have to kill hundreds of millions of people.
People would have been like, wait, what?
Like it will be very cold comfort to them that things get very stable on the other side of the most cataclysmic period.
The 20th century was a level of bloodshed that's like,
you gotta go back to Genghis Khan before you start finding something like this.
And so that's where I'm like, it's very easy to talk about like, hey, this is gonna be great.
Once we get rid of capitalism and everything's abundant, yay.
But we're gonna have to go through something that is gonna be rough in order to get there because people will go into the lost domain.
Their world will be upending so quickly.
