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.

When you have many US states banning AI legal personhood, meaning that AI is a product, not a person, and that human rights are for people, human rights are not for AI, that's the human movement.

When you have the social dilemma being curriculum for millions of students all around the world, that's the human movement.

When politicians stand up and actually pass laws around AI, that's the human movement.

So there's a million things that people can do.

But we have to basically engage right now.

I know it sounds overwhelming and crazy because there's a very short timeline that all of this has to happen, but I, it's like,

There's a difficulty in facing difficult truths, but the integrity that you get to have is, first of all, it's good karma to show up in alignment with what would actually make things go well, even if we don't hit it, because you get to know that you were operating in service with and aligned with what would have created the human future.

I'm not convinced that what we're trying to do will perfectly succeed, but the chances are completely the opposite, that we will have any impact on this at all.

But if it were to go well, what would that have required?

It would have required everybody taking responsibility and showing up with the wisdom that we need in this moment.

to steer AI in a better direction.
