And where we're at right now, you know, a lot of people have talked about quantum computing. We're in the age of artificial intelligence right now for sure. And there's talks of artificial general intelligence, there's talks of emotional intelligence, robots, robotics, something I know that you, you know, you've talked about before, self driving cars. So what's your thesis on the current state of technology?

D
I think we. So the current state of technology is interesting, right? Because try to imagine the world right. Without no Internet. Right? Imagine like if the Internet just cut off. It's really hard to imagine because it's so deeply integrated into our lives that it's hard for us to imagine a life without the Internet now. And in the future it's gonna get to a point where we can't imagine a world without AI because it's gonna be so deeply embedded into every single thing that we do. Right. That we're not going to want to live without it. And AI is going to be a natural driver of GDP because absolutely, you know, number one, the workforce is down, people don't have able bodies. But of course it also democratizes access. There was 30 million people that benefited from computer science, people that deeply know it and can take advantage of the technology. Right now you have another 7 billion people who's going to be able to utilize computer science in the form of AI because they won't need to have to code in order to use it, because they can utilize it in any language. So AI is from a financial, from a spiritual, from a psychological, from a global standpoint, is changing everything and what it means to even be human. Right. There's something called. And my focus is all about, you know, as a futurist, I'm always trying to prepare us for what's ahead, right. And I think that cognition is the new gold, right? Your ability to think, to process, to synthesize information. Right. To remember Ize things. Because it's becoming harder and harder to think in a busy world, right. Where we're more distracted and we have less time than ever to deeply process what's going on around us. Right. We have more technology than we even know what to do with. Absolutely. And not enough time to even know how to do the homework on each one of these tools, on how it fits into our business and our vision. Which is why I believe that the new focus is not going to just be about how do you take advantage of somebody's cognition, Right. But more so, how do you optimize it? Because as it's something called cognitive surplus. So as we use an AI more and more to do rote and mundane tasks, we now have this cognitive surplus of thought which usually sparks renaissances, right. It sparks new enlightenment, new types of thinking, new new ways of perceiving things. Right. So this is why I believe that AI is gonna help spark the cognitive renaissance era that we're in. Because thinking becomes the new goal itself, right. In an era where you got AI thinking for you, the person who can still think for themselves, those become the elites.

So this is, I meant to sit in here and you. That gave me some context, right? But like we've had AI conversations for probably like four years now, so, so I wonder, has your thesis changed on it from being what I perceived you looking at it as a liberating tool versus being a weapon to control a generation. Where do you stand now based on what you said, I think I got my an idea. But where are you at now with that?

D
It's a bit of both, right. It's a double edged sword. So you can go look at the military papers on cognitive security and they look at the fact that, you know, AI is being used for infrastructures of these governments so that they can use it to influence what you believe, right? Now if you don't have a way of cognitive defense, a mental firewall to stop somebody from manipulating you, then of course you look at the people who are the most susceptible to manipulation or the people in poverty, low education, right. Stress, right? Disease, all of those things. And who fits that bill? Our community, specifically black men. Are we looking at that segment of population? Right. And so AI also gives us this opportunity to say the revolution already happened because we already have all of the tools we ever tried to fight for. So now it's saying that we can actually start our renaissance now, where we reawaken things and have this surplus of new music, new enlightenment, new thought, new ways to do business, new ways to execute. But if we can't control our minds, then none of it matters, right? In the fight. Like America, mental America don't have any borders for real, because China, Russia and any country can influence Americans. America has a hard time of influencing Chinese people and Russians and North Koreans, right? But they can run psyop campaigns to make you think something different and you connect your identity to that. And now that shifts you over to a political party, right? Or creates conflict in America. So the thought of American citizens itself is the most vulnerable aspect of American society, right? And so when I think about AI, I think about it as a great tool for renaissance, right? But only for people who also having a cognitive and conscious renaissance at the same exact time.
