digitization -- >> ali: i'm an analog guy. i have no idea what you're talking about. >> that's what i'm going to explain. phones were analog. the call got worse with distance. digital communication was invented. what digitizing communication did was let you detect and correct errors and now our conversation goes out to the planet. you understand that. the reason 3-d printing is a detail, it is a distraction, is the design is digital. it is one of 20 different ways you smush stuff around. you can cut, deposit but no information in the materials. when they say trash is analog, you put it in a landfill but it doesn't contain information on what to do with it. now if you digitize fabrication, you can. the model of the circular economy is a forest. when you die in a forest, you get disassembled and reborn but the way that works is you're built out of molecular legos. amino acids are exactly like lego. you can reversibly join them and take them apart again and build something new. the real science, the real revolution is digitizing

ali. i think you're right. we as citizens should demand that folks don't live in extreme poverty in the u.s. but the fact is we need to pony up. if we think there are people because their productivity is low enough or maybe they have a co-ersive employer, they're in poverty, we need to provide them with benefits that lift them up out of poverty, and we need to pay the check. we need to pay the taxes that pay the money to the people and be straight up about the costs. the minimum wage is a dodge. so what they're doing is they're asserting that they're producing social justice but they're trying to do it on someone else's dime. they're telling exactly the people, the employers who are trying to create jobs that you have to bear the cost for the social justice that you want. if you and i want to provide social justice by lifting people out of poverty, we should cut them a check. we shouldn't say you, job creator, you shouldn't pay for all the poverty reduction. that's what it does. >> household debt which includes
