You didn't-- you set it up the opposite of
what I just did. No, I said is that the
way you want it? Yeah. I didn't notice that it was-- Do you want to change it?
No it's fine. You positioned it just fine.
Here's a theoretical question. So
let's suppose that like Jack Moe? Ma. Ma...
...machines are in place and are doing all
the jobs. most the jobs, work. And human's
job is to enjoy yourself. To enjoy
yourself. So you have all the money you
need, all your needs are taken care of,
now what? What would you do and
that's kind of how we left everybody
last week: think about if all this was
taken care of what would you do, how
would you fill your time? Yeah so how did
you do with that question? Now the
interesting thing is I'm gonna
presuppose that people our age cannot
answer that question.
Oh we'll say, oh no, no. I can, I can. I would travel. I would buy a new car.
Okay so you've done all your traveling.
You've already bought your fourth car.
You have the ideal house in fact you've
torn it down and you've rebuilt it and
now it's the ideal house and the
question is: okay
I have everything, I am not wanting for
anything, how will I live my life in this
minute? And my assumption is going to be
I don't know how to answer that question.
So why do you guess that people
over 50 would say that? Because I'm
dealing with that. Aha. See so when I sit
and I say, am I happy? Am I doing what I
want to do and if I could step away from
everything, step away from Mastering
Alchemy, step away from-- we don't have a
lot of debt so it's not a challenge in
my space, what would I do? Is even like
sitting on the beach which we did now
for a number of weeks and
nothing happened. There's nothing to do.
Nothing to do there except enjoy the
beach and enjoy the walks and and watch
all the really interesting different
animals that we've never seen before and
then come back and sit down and say now
what? This minute, now what? There really-
in my space I mean, I can, I can make this
work but the question of "now what?" was
daunting. And so most people I'm going to
make an assumption don't even push
themselves to that place to really sit
in a disconnected reality and say now
what do I do? And I and I watch people at
our age running into a significant
challenge in terms of we have that
available
it's called retirement. Well but no I
don't have enough money I don't, I don't,
I don't. But let's just say the don'ts
aren't the problem. What are you going to
do with yourself? Now let's back that
down into the conversation we're having
about technology and directions and new
human species and these kind of things.
The artificial intelligence is going
to take away hundreds of millions of
jobs. And it's interesting there is a
study that was just done where they went
in and asked workers: do you think
robotics and artificial intelligence is
gonna threaten your job? 94% said "no." This
was in a factory this was in a factory.
The jobs that are going to disappear
first are factory jobs, mining jobs, fast
food jobs, accounting jobs,
service-oriented jobs that have a rote
structure to them. You're talking five to
seven years a great portion of those
jobs are gonna disappear. And these people
were were naive. Or they were ordinary,
let's go to, let's be really kind to them.
They're just, they're naive people,
average people. The one woman said: I fold
boxes. My part of this process
in the factory is I fold boxes. And
there's no machine that can be made that
can fold a box better than I can. Because
she had tissue paper that she was able
to very cleanly put in-- no machine can do
that. There are machines that do that
right now. You look at Amazon warehouse
system. Amazon, all the things they
deliver to a great extent when their
biggest warehouse has six people doing
all that. Wow. I mean you're talking about
a million square feet of products that
get sent out and delivered to you within
two days. Six people running that
business. So this transformation that
we're about to see is is really, really
enormous. Now let's back down from the
I'm living my life, taking music lessons,
enjoying myself, to a great extent my
supposition is you and me are not going
to have that experience. We're going to
we're going to move right through it to
the end of our lives. We'll have the
advantages of all the new new technology
and we will have some of the challenges
of it also but it's really the
Millennials. Yeah. They're the ones and
they're already being, as we said last
week, being structured. They want to just
travel they want to have a good time
they want to enjoy life. So is it already
hardwired into the young people to
basically step into a society that
doesn't require them to sweat and toil
and work as we've understood work? And
they don't like worrying. Yeah. And so
you've got that whole side of it where
everybody looks at the Millennials and go,
what's wrong with them? Well maybe what's
right with them? Right. Maybe they're in a
in a intuitive way preparing for this
next step so they can easily just move,
flow right into it. Ya know all along our
position in Mastering Alchemy is two people
our age. You know kind of 45, 50 and older.
You hold the dream you hold the concept
of this reality coming into place,
massive opportunity, responsibility. And
so but there's going to be
transformation so the question is: if you
had that can you do it? Now where people
I watched when I asked this question ago is, but
what if I lose my job? And chances are
you're gonna lose your job if you're in any
of these you know vast categories. You're
going to get displaced. The next
iteration is where the real challenge is
going to be is this interface between
government and business. See government
doesn't want attacks and they've done
outrageous things right now they just
increased the amount of spending to fix
everything and decreased the amount of
income in the United States to challenge
people who-- they're got no money. Is
really what it's coming down to is we're
gonna face some very challenging times
in the next couple of years. But that
space is something where the government
job corporation interface-- corporations
have got to get out of stock holder
mindset and get into participation in
Community Development. Yeah. And many of
them are already doing that in wonderful
ways. I mean you just watched JP Morgan
and Amazon I think and two others
basically said we're gonna form a
non-profit healthcare system. So you're
watching the society being ripped apart
and the funding mechanisms to support
people's well-being is being ripped out
from under them. I see something
that has to happen when the robots start
taking over jobs, it sounds like a sci-fi
movie, something that has to happen is
there has to be a universal basic income.
Somehow people have to be taken care of.
Somehow people have to get an amount of
money every month, every adult, to support
themselves. Yeah now this isn't welfare.
That concept is not welfare. And but what
I can't, the doubt in me is that, yeah
corporations, government, they're not
going to give people something for not
working. There-- the level of greed... Well I
I that's the challenge and I think
you're going to see some really smart
people who are running a lot of these
businesses, not from greed but from
profit orientation, they're beginning to
really realize you can't go to, you can't
take tens of thousands of warehouse jobs
away and give it to six people and
robots. Though what is about that
displacement and so the displacement
issue is going to be what you're going
to be really observing over the next
five, six years. You're going to see
really tremendous clash on one hand
between governments and old ideologies
that say let's go back to the old way,
and the reality of the artificial
intelligence paced consciousness that's
now coming into play. So that's where the
clash is going to be and in the interim
class there's going to be a lot of
people that are going to be displaced. So
how do you take care of those and you
can't do it the way it's currently being
done. It's like opioids, you know. This is
a massive crisis but it's not a massive
crisis of the Blacks or the
Mexican-Americans or the low income. It's
the American population. 
And all of a sudden it hits every
congressional district. It hits every-- and
something has to be done, you can't just
sweep it under. So this would be the same
sort of-- same kind of thing. You're going
to get these huge unemployment spikes if
it's not addressed and then you're going
to have social, social unrest in a lot of
ways. And the government corporate place
is the interface and you're actually
seeing-- there are smart people in
government, there really are. I saw one once.
No there are really smart Congress
people in it but the system is so broken
that a smart person can't be heard
because he has to go through, she has to
go through the hierarchy and that's
going to break. You have people like Jack
Ma and Jeff Bezos and and Bill Gates and
and many many people that are basically
saying: I have the money and I'm going to
take responsibility for redirecting this.
So that's all good but between the me
and you here listening, this the real
message here is: pay attention.
The opportunity in 10, 15, 20 years from
now, and maybe even a little bit longer,
of machines are about work and people
are about living, that's going to
come about unless the direction of AI
splits off into the negative side where
domination, greed is the consciousness
that drives the thinking iteration of
the machines. Right. And that has happened
in the fall of consciousness. There are
still places in the fall of
consciousness where there is no soul.
There is machine technology that drives
from pure greed, greed pure domination,
pure enslavement, that exists not in your
reality, you'll never see it. But that's
where that line of structure went off.
We're at a place where there's a choice
to be made and to a great extent I think
the reason we're having this
conversation is even though I'm saying
you and I are not going to have that
moment of: "isn't this great I just had
a wonderful music lesson and I'm happy."
Hopefully you'll hit that but our task
is to make sure that this direction
doesn't happen. Yeah. It's holding the
consciousness, it's believing rather than
going into the fear and the worry. It's
really believing that even with your
last breath if you hold that
consciousness you did not fail. It's that
important to be able to be there. Yeah. So
this is a good set of discussions.
There's a lot more to this maybe we'll
explore it more. I'm interested in what
you think-- what would you do if all your
needs were taken care of and you could
do anything you wanted? Yeah. And what
would you, what, how are you holding the
dream even though there's shrouded in
worry and concerns in
looking at the external world seeing
things that really don't make a lot of
sense and are very much going in the
opposite direction that your belief in
well-being is. Can you know well-being
will happen by just holding it, even with
your last breath? And that's really kind
of what is going to be, I think, the
topics of the next 10 to 15 years. So
we'll talk about this I think probably
many more times.
