folks are underestimating and underrealizing the benefits at this stage of what's going to come out of the
00:00:05
AI revolution and how it's ultimately going to benefit people's availability of products, cost of goods, access to
00:00:12
things. So the counterbalancing force Jcal is deflationary which is let's assume that the cost of everything comes
00:00:18
down by half. That's a huge relief on people's need to work 60 hours a week. Suddenly you only need to work 30 hours
00:00:26
a week and you can have the same lifestyle or perhaps even a better lifestyle than you have today. I think
00:00:32
the next phase is we're going to end up in less than 30 hours a week with people
00:00:35
making more money and having more abundance for every dollar that they earn with respect to what they can
00:00:40
purchase and the lives they can live. That means more time with your family, more time with your friends, more time
00:00:45
to explore interesting opportunities.
