You need a laptop and a few years of your own history you're already sitting on. There are about 7,000 people at this whole event. 7,000 canadises. 7,000 strivings. For most of history, almost all of that striving never got an audience. It died waiting for funding, waiting for head count, waiting for permission, waiting for someone else to believe first. The machinery I showed you tonight is the first technology I've ever seen that lets the striving go straight to work. One person, no intermediaries, no permission. I genuinely do not think the world understands yet what 7,000 people with that kind of leverage walk out of a building and do. Spinoza closed The Ethics, the book that had to be smuggled out in a desk with nine words. All things excellent are as difficult as they are rare. The difficulty just collapsed. The rarity is now up to you. Go and build. Thank you.
