 The greatest thinker of our time, Will Durant. If you're listening to this and you have not read or studied Will Durant, all I could say is the real societal shame is not the Kardashians and not that people spend too much time on their phone. The real crying shame is you and I went through 18 years or 12 years or however long you went to school, whether it be public, private, college, paid, free, charter, home school and nobody ever sat us down for serious hours of our life and said study the most genius person possibly of our time because there's been many great thinkers like Leonardo da Vinci and you know you have Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, you have the more modern Spinoza and you have people of our time like Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein. So when you were reading Will Durant you're reading somebody who's relatively recent, not that recent. He's been dead for decade but he you know he's not from the 1700s so a lot of his stuff is relevant to our time and it's interesting he made all these predictions about what the world will be like. I want to read you and talk about the value in our lives of what Will Durant said about innovation and society and then I also want to talk about something called ESS which is evolutionary stable strategies which is a more complex concept. It's one of the it's so powerful of a concept you probably never heard of it. It's so important that you've never heard of it and if you walk down the street and ask 1,000 people do you know what ESS evolutionary stable strategies mean 1,000 people will be like I've never actually heard that phrase before which is the tragedy upon tragedies because you learn the multiplication tables which is somewhat helpful. I mean it is helpful to know 12 times 12 is 144 and 9 times 9 is 81 but and it is probably well it's less important that kids know calculus and precalculus because basically unless you go down the sciences or engineering you don't really use those.
