But I would like to invite people again into stepping into and standing from the most wise and mature version of ourselves that would behave as if we were going to get to that better future, because that would give us the best chances of doing so.

And the alternative is just surrender.

The alternative is schisming, deniling, depression, overwhelm.

The integrity and the kind of flow of energy that I think you'll feel inside yourself if you align with what is actually needed in this moment.

There's more meaningfulness.

There's more preciousness of life.

There's so much meaning and purpose if you're aligned with what would have things go well.

Yeah.

And I think there's this weird thing that's happening is if you don't see a way for things to go well, and then you believe the only thing you can do is like triple down on racing as fast as possible, knowing where that's currently taking us, that has a biophysical cost on your system.

I would, just so people hear me say this, I agree with you that the current experience of AI is not net negative.

It doesn't feel that way.

But that doesn't mean that there's a net negative outcome that we are racing towards.

I think it's about understanding context and what is the careful and limited way that these tools are helpful, and then creating the conditions where that's the collective outcome that we're getting.

So for example...

For kids in tutoring, theoretically, this is the best tutor in the world for learning.

I mean, I think that it has enormous potential.

If you look at how most kids are using ChatGPT right now, they're using it to cheat on their homework and to actually outsource their thinking.

And actually, because they use it so much, turning into what some Atlantic writer wrote called...

Or LL Emmings where they basically outsource all of their thinking for every moment to moment decision in their day about how I should respond to this person or there's a guy over there I want to talk to and I don't know what to like whatever the thing is people are outsourcing their decision and they're not actually learning themselves.

how to show up as a human.
