But the other thing is that nature has been left out and nothing shows how fundamentally difficult it is than Mark Carney’s book that he wrote before he became a politician.
The first chapter he points out Jeff Bezos Amazon is valued by the economy in the tens of billions of dollars. Brazil’s Amazon, the rainforest, the greatest ecosystem on the planet, has no economic value until it is logged, mined, damned, or grows soybeans, cattle, or houses.
That shows right there what the problem is. That we feel that we’re supreme and everything in the service of us like Bezos’s Amazon is worthwhile but nature, that is keeping the planet habitable for us, has zero economic value.
So then you say okay but let’s work within the system but the system is all designed and based on the fact that nature has no value…

So, here’s what changes. A top of the range M5 Ultra Max Studio is expected to arrive later this year. At a fully maxed out configuration costing about $10,000, the unit economics are extraordinary. If you amortize $10,000 over three years, that’s $280 a month. And the possibilities this unlocks are significant. Every use case that was too expensive, too risky, or too slow for cloud Al now becomes possible.
When Al runs on the chip in front of you, rather than making a round trip to the data center, the latency disappears. That means we can talk real time. Real-time Al that responds before you’ve even finished asking. And for use cases where speed matters, local will win.
Data sovereignty. Every organization that’s wrestling with Al adoption is asking, “What happens to our data when we send it to a third party cloud service?” On device Al means your data never leaves the building. So that’s not just a privacy story. It’s a compliance architecture story.
And for regulated industries, that could become the only acceptable answer.
The architectural decisions that Apple has made are the right bets for the next decade of Al, and the foundation is now in place. Nvidia has claimed one mountain, the data center, the cloud, and the infrastructure that powers the Al boom. But Apple has just claimed another.
The device, the desk, the point where intelligence meet the real world.
They’re two different mountains and two different futures. I genuinely believe that’s a significant moment and one that the market has largely missed, but it will be one that is probably remembered as a turning point for the industry.
…which creates a fictitious identity and narrative. He continuously tells himself this narrative and he calls this narrative, “My life.”
Not realizing that all that is not your life at all. It’s a story in your mind. And the story becomes an identity. And the story becomes a person.
So there are times when consciousness seems to evolve and then it regresses. Uh that is part of a universal pattern. Now, you may want to guess what period we live in right now. (laughter)
And that is that the very thing that seems to block the evolution of your consciousness is that which empowers the evolution of consciousness. The hindrance, the obstacle is necessary for consciousness to grow.
So many of you would not be here if you had not gone through certain amount of challenges in your life.
Now in cognitive psychology they have a term for when we are living a life that does not match up to truth and it’s called cognitive dissonance. And it creates a very deep sense of despair and loneliness and anxiety. However, when we do choose to face truth front on, no matter how brutal it might be, we experience something called congruence. And that is felt in the human body as a sense of belonging, sense of arrival, and a sense of eerie relief.
And this was the point when I got to where I started to feel I might be on the path that I was seeking. And that’s because collapse was forcing me to ask some very different kinds of questions, some far more beautiful questions.
Life for instance, if we do in fact lose it all, what is left? What truly matters to us? Is it love? Is it nature? Is it relationships?
For me, it’s all of these things.
And then I found myself asking this very, very beautiful question.
Who do I want to be in all of this?
