It took you 90,000 years to get from hunter-gatherer to farmer. After that, how long did it take you to become industrialists? About 10,000 years. Atomic power, 200 years. Computers, the information age, 50 years. And building on that, progress with AI is going to happen even quicker now. We'll experience more change in the next 10 years than our grandparents witnessed in 80 years. And it's not going to be just one revolution. There will be many, overlapping and compounding each other. AI, biotech, quantum computing, robotics, longevity. They'll all emerge and hit simultaneously. Here's the challenge: we can't slow down anymore. Countries compete against countries, companies against companies. So what happens when we can't keep up with ourselves? Well, we're about to find out.
