Enjoyable conversation but I don’t really understand Daniel’s arguments. I’m sure he is brilliant at Saas businesses but not so much at economics. The idea of us having all this free time and resources to just sit around all day makes no sense. People said the same thing when computers first came out - that certainly hasn’t happened. When tinned foods was first invented they said world hunger could now be solved because you could get food to hard to reach places without it going bad. That never happened. I don’t believe our ideal future is sitting around with nothing to do - sounds more like hell than heaven to me. Jordan Pitersens message to young men of taking on as much responsibility as you can is showing that men need purpose , not pleasure to thrive. He also talks about the digital nomad life as the future but everyone needs place to live, social places (town square, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, etc) and those need to be provided by local people. He also talks about centrally planning the UK as a tech hub (deciding which area should be used for specific functions). Central planning doesn’t work. I did enjoy his take on the digital life, that was interesting.
