um what are the the professions the kids want the most and the number one was like astronaut number two was like teacher engineer and then teacher or something like that and in the u.s it was influencer like i can tell you which world and which civilization you're going to get if we really want to beat china in innovation show me the incentives and i'll show you the outcome show me the incentive and i'll show you the outcome and if you really want to beat china

You regulate social media and you stop brain rotting your entire population and you actually invest in genuine educational technology that Silicon Valley would ship to their own children.

global movement for humane technology that's actually in service of people.

Part of that movement is redefining the currency of what it means to win that race.

Right now, again, the US beat China to the technology of social media, but we have been losing in the race to govern that technology.

I think you know these examples, but...

In China, as an example, they, I think, limit social media use to 40 minutes a day if you're under the age of 14.

And I think it's only Friday, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Either that's for social media or for video games.

There's lights out at 10 PM, meaning that if you open a social media app after 10 PM, it's closed.

And it opens again at 6 in the morning.

Um, this is helpful for when it comes to the kind of late night FOMO brain, brain rot, doom scrolling, you know, not getting sleep.

And I'm not saying that the U S should unilaterally like some totalitarian government make that choice, or it's just that we can democratically come up with guardrails like this.

Another thing that China does is they have a synchronized final exams week and they shut down AI during final exams week.

No way.

Yes.

So that, so that all the students know that if they used AI during the school year,

It will completely screw them over during final exams.

That's right.

And so we don't have to do what China does.
