Peterson was asking for a competitor name to Patreon. So this would only work for people who sign up to be experts on the app and then people could contact them. And in my case because I'm a co-founder of the company it helps me a great deal to help fund the company forward if people buy the tokens. And you can buy them for any amount. It's whatever you want, any amount you feel comfortable with.…

All right, so that's the future of education. I think it is completely realistic to have what I would call a socialist vision of education that doesn't require your taxes to go up. Meaning that technology, if it's fostered in the right way and we don't have any unnecessary regulation stopping it, the inevitable direction is that online will pass in-person education in terms of effectiveness and it's going to pass it hard.

You know, at some point it won't even be close. At some point the idea of standing in front of a human in a classroom while that one human drones on in the average way that is the most average to get the most people but doesn't work for anybody in particular exactly — you know, it doesn't work at least in their ideal way — the in-person method is definitely going to go away.

So we can get to almost free education and universal. That's very doable. There may be something like this in the field of medical cost as well and I'll talk about that separately. I will give you a little hint that we're bringing on a number of doctors who will be vetted and their backgrounds will be checked so you don't have to worry about that. And there will be licensed for specific states in the United States. And if you don't have healthcare and you need a doctor you'll be able to pick up the Interface app — I'll tell you more about this in the next week or so — and have a live conversation with the doctor and just pay as you go.

So it will be much cheaper than having insurance and it would be one of the many ways in which the cost of healthcare could go down.

So I say again I'm left of Bernie because I want universal healthcare and I want free education. But I think the way you get there is by making sure that your technology is unfettered and that you understand that there's somewhere to get. And now I think we all understand that and maybe we can get out of our own way and let the technology bring us to that point where we do have much cheaper healthcare and, you know, at least approaching free. And that we have essentially universal education for everybody. And there's almost nobody who can't be helped by universal education.

So that's the lesson. If anybody wants to get some When tokens which would help a lot for my startup and you know maybe they would go up in value but they're not an investment, go to interface.hub.com and I hope you do.
