And you're like, that's awesome.

And you forget everything that you and I just talked about because it was super fucking helpful.

And so this is the test of ultimate modern wisdom, is how do you step into a version of yourself that is capable of being clear-eyed and stabilizing a view of the asteroid?

The asteroid is coming to Earth.

There's these weird gravitational effects that it has before it gets here, like suddenly nudification apps happen, and suddenly deepfakes happen, and suddenly people start losing their jobs.

Those suck.

Those are really bad problems.

But the bigger asteroid...

Every day that I do this work, my colleagues and I, we joke, it's like the film Don't Look Up.

You're trying to tell people, and it's not the sky is falling.

That's not the point.

The point is we can blast that asteroid out of the sky.

We need to blast that asteroid out of the sky.

We can steer before it's too late.

I'm not hopeful, but what I do feel is when I'm in a room of people and you walk through all these facts, and you just have people ask questions and check any of the things that we've just laid out.

And then you say like, and people see that it's all true.

And then you ask them, how many people here feel good about where we're headed?

And no one raises their hand.

You ask people how people don't want the future we're headed to.

And literally, I was in Davos recently, and every single person, every single person raised their hand that they don't want this future.
