If you want to make an omelet, you need to break eggs and all these things. And the feminists said, no, we won't use the power of the gun. We will make an omelet without breaking any eggs. And they made a much better omelet than Lenin or Mao or any of these violent revolutionaries. I don't think, you know, that they certainly didn't start any wars or build any gulags.

I don't think they even murdered a single politician. I don't think there was any political assassination anywhere by feminists. There was a lot of violence against them. both verbal but also physical, and they didn't reply by waging violence, and they succeeded in changing this deep structure of oppression in a way which benefited not just women but also men.

So this gives me hope that it's not easy. In many cases we fail, but it is possible sometimes in history to make a very, very big change, positive change, mainly by talking and demonstrating and changing the story in people's minds and not by using violence.

And the 20th century, you know, we squeezed into it things that previously took thousands of years. And now, I mean, we are squeezing it into decades.

Could be. I think, you know, our species, Homo sapiens, I don't think we'll be around in a century or two. We could destroy ourselves. in a nuclear war, through ecological collapse, by giving too much power to AI that goes out of our control.

But if we survive, we'll probably have so much power that we will change ourselves using various technologies so that our descendants will no longer be homo sapiens like us. They will be more different from us than we are different from Neanderthals. So maybe they'll have historians, but it will no longer be human historians or sapiens historians like me.

I think it's an extremely dangerous development and the chances that this will go wrong, that people will use the new technologies trying to upgrade humans, but actually downgrading them, this is a very, very big danger. If you let corporations and armies and ruthless politicians

change humans using tools like AI and bioengineering, it's very likely that they will try to enhance a few human qualities that they need like intelligence and discipline while neglecting what are potentially more important human qualities like compassion, like autistic sensitivity, like spirituality.
