is the humanism of it, the humanity of it. And I think that we only would get those laurels of being another important renaissance moment if we bring that humanism back in. And that's where philosophy becomes very important because part of it is not just technological space of possibility, technological space of creation and building, but also what's your theory of current humanity and what's your theory of what journey we should be on, what we should be enabled to do with ourselves and with each other? And by the way, for those of you who read Super Agency, I don't think it can be pre planned. I think it's an iterative deployment. You go out, you learn something, you iterate. You go out, you learn something, you iterate. The frequent mistake is I think, oh, that's almost like the philosophical mistake. I can figure it all out just sitting here in advance
