Hard Limits vs. Exponential Tech: The Future of Abundance

But let me push back for a moment with some things that people have said to me. And we want to talk about the actual physical hard limits of what's behind all of this. For example, uh, I mentioned power earlier, the power grid in the United States is not nearly as strong and resilient as let's say China's power grid. Yeah. And, you know, the the Eastern power grid where you are, also, what's it called, JPM, I think, is particularly strained because of data centers coming online. In addition, uh, robot manufacturing at scale requires a tremendous amount of, you know, raw materials. Yes. And those raw materials have to be typically mined and and you know, we're we're all familiar with the rare earths, you know, the neodymium, the dysprosium, the turbium, whatever. Plus silver is skyrocketing right now. Silver is used and it's becoming more physically scarce. So how how do you view the the issue of what you and I both agree is a radical abundance in things that can be created with AI or things that can be automated. But there's also hard physical limits in the world of how quickly we can scale ...
