And we want to win that. You're not going to win that by bootstrapping all the way, right? I think that's a myth.

So I think we're in the early stages of a shift in how we communicate. If you think of most communication today, it's text-based, right? Emails, text, we read things. And text is a great technology. Built the world up to where it is today. But it's actually like a pretty bad way of compressing information.

You lose a lot of context when you transform your thoughts into something that's written down in a document, right? As humans, we're much better at consuming visual content. We like to hear things, we like to see things, we like to feel things in the physical world. We can't do that yet.

But it's very clear that higher fidelity content, like video and audio, is a better way of training, informing, and entertaining people. The reason that we're using that much text today is because text is the only scalable way we have of essentially storing information and sharing information, right?

But that's changing now because the more we don't need cameras and microphones and capturing things in the physical world around us, the more we can get video creation, audio creation to be as scalable as text. And once that happens, there isn't really any reason for us to use text anymore.

This sounds a bit crazy, but I actually do think that maybe not us, but maybe our kids' kids are going to be one of the last generations to read and write as a default way of communication. I think we'll increasingly just consume everything via video and audio. I think you have all the trends. You look at TikTok, right? I don't know if you're on TikTok, but

I do exactly the same thing. I think TikTok is a great example of how video truly can be the default of how we consume information, right? There's almost no text left in the interface, even comments, right? People respond to comments with videos. And so they've really started to build out this graph of how we communicate with video as a default medium. There's a long way to go.
