"While the bottom of the pyramid rises, what we think of as the pyramid, transforms into almost a conical spike, where everyone on the planet has access to the American Dream, but the odds are like that of the lottery or worse" - genius. We need to pay attention the growing gap, and do what we can to narrow it down. Steve Jurvetson is a genius and visionary!

Absolutely compelling! I also was lost at the end but i agree that with anything comes a risk. Top 3% controls the economy, runs the jobs, etc. we need to narrow the gap.

It seems the number of likes on this video proves enough that everybody dislikes "work" regardless of profession or position assumed.
-
Insightful and erudite as always. You want to listen to Steve Jurvetson because he truly is visionary. He believed in Tesla and Space X all along and invested heavily into them at a time when the naysayers were warning that Elon Musk was crazy.

There won't be no money!!!
-
Very interesting perspective on the future of jobs. I agree that erasing the digital divide will help evenly distribute the wealth and the world and anybody is capable of producing new ideas that can help out the economy.
-
solar, 3d printing, robotics, AI will render us free from constraints of debt and work.
-
he lost me at the end but his hand movements and the way the dramatic music starts to build up was funny.
-
absolutely engaging. I'd love to see if his theories and ideas ever get implemented in reality (anywhere), and how they'll succeed.
-
Genius, so true

"In the Future humans won't be slaves because they won't be cost-effective even as slaves" - Steve Jurvetson - 2015 I love this guy, he is just a genius and the best investor of the world.
