Strip away the machine work and what remains is maximally human

July 11, 2026

I saw a debate once where Jordan Peterson was telling a group of people that if you minimize environmental differences (like rich parents) you maximize innate differences (like talent, passion, etc).

Just thought of a really positive take on this for technology.

If we remove all the non-human work we don't want to do with AI, we maximize the remaining work we DO want to do, which is the human stuff.

Creativity, nurturing, building, and collaboration. With actual people.
