Rapid technological acceleration has been a fact of a human civilization for about a century,

and that acceleration is itself accelerating.

To me, that is the fundamental truth, right?

And whether we yell at it or disagree with it, it is happening.

You know, it's like gravity.

Those that adopt that culture will literally have higher likelihood of surviving in the future.

If you take any one bit and you kind of accelerate indiscriminately, then basically you do lose all value.

And so to me, the question is, like, how do we accelerate intentionally?

I think there is a real sense in which we have one shot at this. EAC isn't trying to kill everyone. It's actually trying to save everyone.

If we decelerate, we're going to have a huge opportunity cost and we're going to miss out in a much better future.

Nice. Wow. So this all started because I just knew these guys had to meet each other.

And it rapidly devolved into all of this, which I'm really glad to see. This is incredible.

And it's the first time that you guys have really talked in person, right? Awesome.

And this is an incredible synthesis.

So yeah, my name is Shaw.

I've known these guys for a while.

I'm here with Eddie from A16Crypto.

And this is a great time.

So everybody's here.

I guess you're allowed to, you know, please be respectful.

This is a conversation between them.

We're just going to kind of throw some questions at them as we go along to keep it going.
