In the next, say, 10 years minimum, but even 5 years, there'll be more change that's happened in the history of mankind between nanotechnology, obviously from AI, obviously from robotics, right? So many things that are coming here. So how do you— a lot of jobs are going to be disrupted depending on whose studies you read, 40, 50% of the jobs. How do I make sure my kids and grandkids can do well, or you and I can do well no matter what happens in the world? I think you need 3 skills. Skill 1, you have to you get good at the science of, or just the recognition of patterns. Everything's patterns. History's patterns, financial patterns, company patterns. But you don't get angry all the time, you don't smoke all the time, or you don't drink all the time. You do those things when you're bored or when you're triggered by sadness or when you feel alone. So once you understand patterns, you have less fear because the world isn't chaos anymore. And so I really started to get good at studying patterns of all sorts. And then the second skill though is if you can use the patterns, now you have power. You don't just know what's happening, you know how to use it.
