A short single-speaker monologue warning that chronic overburdening and information overload—exacerbated by technology—lead to burnout and human fragility rather than toughness. The speaker argues human biology has limits and that preserving ‘human’ capacities, not just technological advancement, will be a future competitive advantage.

As we know, with burnout, there will be a time where that lemon will not give you more juice. Doesn't matter what you want to do. Doesn't matter if you tell them it's the most important thing. We're going to lose the client. The business is going to go under. We're going to go bankrupt. You can say whatever, you can threaten, you can do whatever you want. But it gets to a point where we're human beings and that humanity and that biology is going to give out. And so that's where I think it's really interesting, because for some reason, we think that we're creating tough people. We're really creating fragile people, right? Because we're overburdening constantly. Plus, with technology, you have so much information, and your brain doesn't like all that information. It's too much. It's overwhelming, even if it's all good, right? We are in a little bit of a dangerous moment, because with the whole tech situation coming, we're forgetting our humanity. And I think that our competitive advantage in the future is more human. Okay? Technology is great. Technology is going to take care of itself. I mean, either right now or next month or next year. Technology that has Pandora's box has been open, and technology is going to be great and fine. We need to be more human.
