Sonia and Simon · Why The AI Revolution Is The Greatest Opportunity In Human History | Zack Kass · 5 Jul 2026 podcast

And I want her to enjoy the trappings of a life in Santa Barbara.

I don't want her to feel any guilt

or what she's gonna be raised with.

And I think if I can help her find balance, all of the qualities that God has given her will, I'm sure, lead her on a wonderful journey that I can only imagine.

And, uh, I can't, I actually cannot imagine having a daughter at any other point in history and feeling the degree of confidence and comfort that I do today because the opportunities for women continue to expand.

And actually on that note, we, my wife and I are, are principal owners of the women's professional volleyball team in San Francisco, uh, love SF where we start playing January 27.

We both play volleyball, um, competitively and, and, uh,

It's really important to us, and I'm really excited to raise Frankie around exceptional role models who are pioneers in building a professional sport that I think has the chance to be as big as a men's professional sport.

But ultimately, I think if Adley and I raise her to love the right things, she will find her own journey, and I think it will be even more amazing than I can imagine.

What's interesting, and Harari writes about this in Sapiens, which is, you know, I wish my book was half of his, but he's a curmudgeon, so he has a much more negative view of the world than I do.

But he talks about how humans were probably happiest and most fulfilled as hunter-gatherers because they had community and that...

Everyone had to have a role and a purpose because you couldn't get away with doing nothing.

But the tribe stayed roughly 150 people as best we know.

And then a lot of the time was actually spent lounging and leisure and recreation, whatever that was.

And then we became sort of trapped by agriculture, which demanded more of us and now trapped by technology, which asks everything of us.

What I observe is that we have achieved so much economic abundance that we've actually afforded people the opportunity to do absolutely nothing and subsist.

And a lot of people have accepted that challenge.

I mean, a lot of people are pretty willing to turn their brain off, put on literal VR headsets in some cases, order DoorDash and call it a day, verbally speaking.

And their brains are actually turning to mush.

There is a cognitive decline that we observe among a percentage of the population who have chosen to do nothing because we've afforded them the opportunity to do so.
