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 (1:42)
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.
