And I really, really, really believe that we are tracking right now on a remarkable trajectory where we should start adding zeros to things in ways that are quite positive for humans, right?
Start adding zeros to life expectancy, start adding zeros to net worth, start adding zeros to the speed at which we make education inexpensive.
I mean, all these things.
So that's one of the lessons.
My hot take on the future of work.
I have a lot.
When I speak, when I go to audiences, I will often ask an audience, I will say, please raise your hand if you think that AI is going to take your job.
And it's usually about 5% of the audience that raises their hand.

And then about 50 to 60% of hands go up.
