A lot of people who are wealthy are building bunkers.
They are.
All over the place.
Don't build bunkers.
Write laws.
Be invested in the future.
Don't defect on the future.
Be invested in the future.
If we write laws like basic accountability, basic liability, if instead of creating the intelligence curse, we create the intelligence dividend, do things like what Norway did with its sovereign wealth fund, where you have an oil resource and you distribute those benefits to everybody in a more democratic way with collective oversight, where the oil becomes more like a public utility that is in service of the people.
We can do that.
You can not anthropomorphize AI.
You can do all these things that creates a more pro-human future.
And then number four, what you can do is join the human movement, meaning you can be part of what pushes back against all of this, from very tiny actions you can take to very big actions you can take.
There's a website, human.mov.
Everyone is almost already a member.
When you grayscale your phone, as you probably did 10 years ago when you first got into this...
That's the human movement.
When you get a second phone and you only load the social media on your cocaine phone while you have your regular safe phone so that you don't get distracted, that's the human movement.
When parents band together and read The Anxious Generation and petition their school board to say, we don't want social media in our schools and we want our schools to go smartphone free, that's the human movement.
When 35 states pass smartphone free school policies as they have in the US, that's the human movement.
