And it's inevitable that socialism will

happen in America. But, I don't want to

lose my agency, my liberty, my freedom.

>> Do you think the US as an empire is in

decline?

>> The answer is yes. I was appointed to

President Trump's Council of Advisors in

Science and Technology. And one of the

great lies is that the government will

save you. But, the more government has

tried to create services for people and

help bring them up the ladder, the more

expensive those things get. 63% of

Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

People can't afford to pay their bills,

and it needs to be fixed.

will emerge that has zero net worth

today, downloaded open-source AI, and

built a company that made them a

billionaire. And there're going to be

someone that's going to come from

of these sorts of stories.

>> But, this narrative that AI will take

jobs away, you don't believe it.

>> So, from data, from evidence, over all

periods of technological revolution like

this, we've never seen jobs decline. And

the average person doesn't see it. But,

oh my god, the stuff we can do is

unbelievable. Right now, we have a

billion people in the world that are

starving. We have hundreds of millions

dying from curable disease. These are

the sorts of things that are going to

get resolved. Because AI unleashes this

capacity for human advancement, and it's

transforming every aspect of biology and

our understanding of life sciences.

>> So, I wanted to ask you, do you think

we're going to be able to live forever

soon?

>> The truth is,
