he most pride in before this it would have been working full-time and getting my MBA at the same time. Very proud of that because of the level of difficulty involved. And how much pain you're willing to put up with to get ahead. To me, those are good markers of who you are and how it's going to go.

But to finish my point, what you see as my work ethic is because you're filtering my experience through your brain. If you filtered it through my brain, it wouldn't look as impressive. Does anybody know why? In my brain, the working is something I enjoy. When I'm sitting here at 4 in the morning, and some of you are like, "Oh, I never want to get up at 4 in the morning." I'm drinking coffee. I'm petting my cats. Sometimes I'm having a great time at 4 in the morning, but it's work. And then when I go live, I absolutely love the time that I'm talking live. Like right now, like the rest of my day could be pretty good. Might be pretty good, but might probably won't be this good that I get to talk to what how many people? 300,000? Five? So maybe several thousand people at the same time. And I can fool myself into thinking that this has some value to the world. You know, I'm not just talking into the void, but rather I'm testing out some ideas and some reframes. And if any of the ideas or the reframes are good, maybe they take on a life of their own. So it's always good to have something brewing in your life that does the following thing. It gives you discipline, which is what my getting up every day does for me. Gives me discipline. And a variety of other things. I mean, discipline is just one of them.

So what you see is an insane work ethic. And what I see is that I've managed to turn my job into my hobby into my passion. So if you've listened to Scott Galloway and some other people have said the same thing, you don't want to start with passion and then work it into a job. You can do it. Well, it's pretty hard. But if you start at a really good job and then you can convert that into a passion, well, now you got something. Now you got something. So you're largely seeing me doing exactly what I want to do, but you're interpreting it as work because it might feel like work to you. To me, it's not work. For example, when I'm organizing my notes of like what I'm going to say in a certain topic, that's not work. I'm actually thinking how you'll receive it and I'm thinking how I'll say it. And I'm thinking, "Oh, will this change how you look at it?" I just deeply enjoy that. There's nothing about that that feels like work. Every part of that feels like entertainment to me as much as using X. You know, when I use X, I'm not thinking work. I'm thinking, "Oh, this would be fun to say or somebody would like to hear this, or this might be viral or something." But none of it feels like work. And the podcast is like that. It's kind of fun.

Anyway, I hope that was a decent answer because I might get a little bit too much credit for my work ethic. It is. I do have an impressive work ethic. So I'm going to say that that's true, but maybe not as good as you think it is. It is pretty good, though. When people tell you to take the day off, I know people tell me to take the day off, it's like do you not understand? Day off doesn't help me. Day on helps me, not day off.

How would you persuade an artificial super intelligence that humans are worth keeping around? Why would I do that? I'm going to persuade the super intelligence to keep me around as its boss. The rest of you, well, you're going to have to find out. You have to work out your own scam. Good luck with that.
