And I think what we should start acknowledging is that the K curve that is developing is pronounced, thankfully, not by how much money you have, not by where you went to college, not by who your parents are, but by how badly you want it, whatever it is.
If you want to sit on your couch effectively all day, order DoorDash,
Play video games.
You can do it.
And you have a God-given right to do so.
And fine.
Yeah.
K-curve is actually just a name of a curve that is pronounced by a middle that diverges in sort of very juxtaposed ways.
So one line tracks down to the right and the other tracks up to the right in sort of a pronounced K-shape.
And the challenge with a K curve is that you create the – and the reason that economists talk about a K curve as a pejorative is because it creates these two diametrically opposed populations.
Economic K curves are a world where some people are very poor and some people are very rich.
Intellectual K curves, the one I'm describing, is a world where some people are stupid because they choose to be and some people –
are brilliant because they are using tools that our grandparents literally could not have fathomed, right?
Like we have access to technologies that no one could have even described to people 50 years ago.
And so the goal now should be to move the K curve, to slide it as far up so that more people, I guess, actually down so that the K, the top is pronounced and the bottom is much less dramatic.
And the way you do that, I think, is by incentivizing and challenging and educating personal responsibility and agency as young as possible.
I think we need to redesign as fast as we can childhood education and development around principles and values, not maths and sciences.
We should inspire morality and agency.
Do you believe in the good of humans and your ability to affect change in positive ways as young as possible?
Because if we do that, we will raise a next generation that looks to the stars with incredible wonder and that explores the world as a tapestry of opportunity.
