Part 5/8:
In a theoretical framework rooted in economics, the speaker elaborated on a fundamental change emerging in how value is understood: transitioning from the model of value being derived from capital, labor, and technology to a new model where knowledge becomes a key variable. This reflects a paradigm shift where labor, now in many instances represented by humans, is supplanted by technology, underscoring the need for humans to adapt.
The only remaining role for humans in this forthcoming landscape may be that of “reality engineers” – individuals who will envision and work towards making better realities possible for humanity. They will be responsible for aggregating capital and channeling it towards advancements in technology, thus enhancing human welfare.
