So I think humanity is facing a lot of great challenges, anything from our food supply to employment to water to medical conditions. I actually don't think that we can hone this down to a single one. What I fundamentally believe though is that technology is a vector for us to solve these problems, especially advanced technologies. And it takes all of us and our creative wisdom to tackle these problems together. And here's the thing, we can do this. It's actually not that hard if we just put our minds and our souls and our hearts towards this. And to be frankly speaking, what else would you want to do? Like, what else matters than tackling really hard, big problems? So pick one. Pick one which really makes your heart sing. And go solve it.
