"For the first time in human history we wouldn’t be resource constrained. And I think that could be amazing new era for humanity where it’s not zero-sum, right? I have this land, you don’t have it. Or if the tigers have their forest, then the local villages can’t, what are they going to use? I think that this will help a lot. No, it won’t solve all problems because there’s still other human foibles that will still exist, but it will at least remove one, I think one of the big vectors, which is scarcity of resources, including land and more materials and energy."

"Step one, solve intelligence; step two, use it to solve everything else."

"And we should ... call it ... this kind of radical abundance era, where there’s plenty of resources to go around. Of course the next big question is making sure that that’s fairly, shared fairly and everyone in society benefits from that."
