I think the inevitable outcome of the convergence of AI and crypto and all the things that are happening right now is the end of status. I hope this is the case anyway, and maybe it's too ingrained in our DNA to do this, but when you can create whatever you want and I can create whatever I want, then I have no reason to judge myself according to what you created, because I can just go create it automatically, too. So my hope is that as a result of that, we're just naturally kinder to one another. We. Because I don't have to fight you to survive. I don't have to fight you to compete. I know that I can create whatever I want, and so can you. So there's just respect and appreciation for one another. Maybe that's a pipe dream, but if nothing else, that's how I want to operate. And so can we do that now? And if you can do that, then you actually free yourself to create the things that you want to create.
