Valuetainment - “We’re Team Human” - Ford Hired Back 350 Engineers They Fired Due to AI

00:00:00.000 Ford is rehiring human engineers after AI fails to match quality checks.

00:00:05.920 What?

00:00:06.960 This is a BBC story.

00:00:09.060 By the way, this is a good story for Team Human.

00:00:11.960 Man, we're making a comeback.

00:00:13.580 They're not going to ship us out.

00:00:15.700 They're not going to ship us out.

00:00:17.380 And PBD Podcast is around by, hi, this is Patrick.

00:00:20.300 Matt David, today I'm going to talk to Jeff Snyder.

00:00:23.780 Today, Tom Ellsworth.

00:00:25.440 No, it ain't going to happen.

00:00:27.420 Humans are protected.

00:00:28.660 Ford's realizing it.

00:00:29.700 Let me read this to you.

00:00:30.500 Ford says it has hired some human engineers.

00:00:33.280 Can you imagine?

00:00:33.700 We have to say human engineers.

00:00:35.200 Just say engineers.

00:00:36.200 We used to just say human engineers, just engineers.

00:00:39.180 After AI failed to match their skill and experience

00:00:41.860 and a bid to reap the benefits of the tech,

00:00:43.680 which developers claim can cut costs and boost productivity,

00:00:47.660 the U.S. carmaker adopted it across some parts of its operators,

00:00:51.220 including for quality checks.

00:00:52.720 But according to Bloomberg, its executive said the firm has rehired

00:00:56.140 more than 300 veteran quality inspectors in recent years to make up for the pitfalls of

00:01:02.840 the automated systems. Team human, baby. We're making a comeback. We're making a comeback.

00:01:09.020 AI is a fantastic tool, but it is only as good as the information. You can train it. Charles

00:01:15.140 Poon, VP of Vehicle Hardware Engineering told reporters over prior years, we didn't pay as

00:01:19.740 much attention as we should have to the experience of our most knowledgeable engineers that have

00:01:24.160 been with us through many product cycles the u.s automakers among to to have seized on the buzz

00:01:29.840 around ai particularly med wall street's fervor around the tech's potential to increase margins

00:01:35.020 ai will leave a lot of white collar people behind ford's boss jim farley great name said in an

00:01:42.220 interview with author walter isaacson last june in an october earning calls chief operating officer

00:01:47.700 kumar said the firm was deploying ai across the entire industrial platform this included rolling

00:01:53.480 had 900 AI-powered cameras in its plans to detect quality issues.

00:01:58.480 But Poon told reporters on Wednesday the firm's AI-driven checks had failed to live up to

00:02:05.460 expectations.

00:02:06.620 Mistakenly, we thought that by just introducing AI and ingesting the design requirements that

00:02:13.640 we had, that would produce a high-quality product.

00:02:16.720 Poon reportedly pointed to automated tools lacking the training and experience of a veteran

00:02:20.640 technician, many of whom he said had left the company before their knowledge could be used

00:02:25.200 to improve its tech. Tom, love this story. Your thoughts on this? I'm buying another Ford. If

00:02:29.500 they go back to Team Human, I'm telling you. Exactly. So what happens here is a bad design

00:02:34.560 is a bad design. And if the AI has got a bad design or design that's got flaws, it doesn't

00:02:39.100 fix anything. And so that's the purpose of an engineer. What is an engineer? Engineer is an

00:02:43.780 inventor, a designer, an inventor. And guess what? Some don't work. Then you go into testing.

00:02:49.240 And what this is pointing out is they tried to put it in the quality side of it, but we just wanted to ingest this data into quality, and the AI was unable to replicate the human.

00:03:03.400 And so I think what it shows is that this rush to put AI on everything, finishing tasks like this, you know, where you have the physical world, is not happening.

00:03:18.700 I'm seeing more and more and more and more and more feedback and case studies on AI saved me time collecting data, analyzing it, and getting it to a point than I used it.

00:03:28.400 So it compressed that part of my workday by giving me, hey, here's an assessment.

00:03:33.780 It's like what is Pomp's thing, CFO Sophia or whatever it is, where it compresses the time to find a list of things that now you need to go take a look at in terms of your budget and stuff.

00:03:47.380 wow, now I got to go in there. It doesn't do it for you. Now you go in there, you save the hour

00:03:51.960 of compiling it, and now you have a list of things that you're going to go after. And I think that's

00:03:56.420 AI at its best. Here, it's just showing that AI is not coming for every job. And I think this is

00:04:02.480 good news. We covered it, and I'll mention it again. The number of software engineer job

00:04:08.720 openings right now is up year over year, and it's not up by a small number, but they're in

00:04:14.500 different places now they're in dev ops they're in uh-oh quality and they're in areas where all

00:04:21.580 of this code is getting created now we need humans to come out babysit the code and look at end

00:04:26.900 products and see how the functionality is so there for all these you know you say this company laid

00:04:33.880 off a thousand software engineers they're showing up in the one ads to apply their engineering skill

00:04:39.620 in a different way it's like there are a lot of things more important in life than making money

00:04:44.160 And this is coming from a guy that's done pretty okay

00:04:47.020 and I've made some money, okay?

00:04:48.900 But I tell you.

00:04:50.560 Frozen lasagna, medium power, 15 minutes.

00:05:57.640 I look forward to these conversations of us sitting down. 0.99

00:06:01.200 I look forward to us sitting down and thinking, what does this human being that has gone through a bunch of shit in his life that we don't know, 0.98

00:06:08.300 He's still able to act and look at me as if everything is okay 0.98

00:06:10.900 and carry the weight, overcome it, take care of his family,

00:06:14.240 successful guy, drives a nice car, does his part, is smart.

00:06:17.360 I respect the hell out of this human being.

00:06:19.420 What does this guy here, young guy, that is new very early on,

00:06:23.640 he's different than everybody else. 0.98

00:06:24.740 Who the hell gives a shit about national security when you're in high school? 0.98

00:06:27.700 But he was interested in it. 0.99

00:06:29.200 And you have to be called weird your entire life.

00:06:31.060 Now he's sitting here doing, what is this guy that went from being a playboy, 0.99

00:06:34.740 a Hollywood actor doing all the shit that he's doing, the drugs, the alcohol. 0.98

00:06:47.440 Are you kidding me? 1.00

00:06:48.540 This is priceless.

00:06:50.680 This is it.

00:06:52.120 Of course we use AI.

00:06:53.900 Of course we use ChadGBT.

00:06:55.500 Of course we use all these different language learning models.

00:06:59.040 None of it will replace the idea of doing something big together with human beings.

00:07:03.900 doing the impossible with ai you ain't doing the impossible doing the impossible with other human

00:07:10.320 beings when you watch elon and his team at spacex when it goes off and you see the euphoric

00:07:17.900 celebration the tears the crying you don't cry with ai that's a flipping movie called her

00:07:23.660 shittiest movie i've seen in my life with joaquin phoenix who's one of my favorite guys you fall in

00:07:28.240 love with ai no you fall in love with a human being because you have to persuade them you have

00:07:33.440 to win them over and you have to keep them interested that is hard you don't need to keep

00:07:38.320 ai interested you already have them they're going to do whatever you want them to tell you to do

00:07:41.580 that that's boring there is no friction there is no challenge there is no difficulty there is no

00:07:47.420 what if they leave what if heartbreak what if there is none of that you want the possibility

00:07:53.240 of losing somebody you want the possibility of that that's what makes this real that's what

00:07:58.640 makes it exciting so i love hearing these stories can you go back i don't want to even look at this

00:08:03.180 movie, Herb. The worst movies I've seen in my

00:08:05.200 life. Look at Klarna, what happened to

00:08:07.100 these companies. Replace much of 0.88

00:08:09.180 its customer support with AI.

00:08:11.320 What did it happen? They reversed

00:08:13.200 it. Why? Customer satisfaction and service

00:08:15.120 quality suffered on more complex

00:08:17.300 issues. The CEO and customer still wanted

00:08:19.200 access to real people. Ford Motor

00:08:21.160 Company would just rehire 350

00:08:23.240 people. Why? They screwed up. They need those people.

00:08:26.080 They need those people. Duolingo.

00:08:27.800 Announce an AI first strategy

00:08:29.360 then softened its position

00:08:31.000 and increase human development. How the

00:08:33.160 hell you're going to go ai first when you need people to use duolingo what a dumb strategy 0.99

00:08:37.740 hey guess what we don't need you guys to work here we just need the customers because you're 0.99

00:08:43.200 not that important but no oh shit uh we're team human we're so sorry because without these team

00:08:49.420 human if ai was learning a language ai doesn't need duolingo to learn a language ai already 0.92

00:08:54.320 speaks every language your customers are people these companies that went full on you you know

00:09:00.440 So like the movie, the epic documentary slash movie,

00:09:04.520 what do you call that movie?

00:09:06.120 Tropic Thunder? 1.00

00:09:07.040 You never go full retard. 1.00

00:09:08.560 You just don't do it. 1.00

00:09:09.360 I love that movie.

00:09:10.340 You never go full AI.

00:09:11.660 You never go full AI.

00:09:13.120 Don't do it.

00:09:14.860 For 400 years, right, you don't do it.

00:09:17.580 If you've seen Tropic Thunder, you know the line for 400 years.

00:09:20.460 What do you mean, you people?

00:09:22.100 You people.

00:09:23.020 Yeah.

00:09:23.320 So anyways, I love this story.

00:09:25.100 Elon, do you have any thoughts on this one here yourself?

00:09:26.640 Yeah, I think what you're touching on is that community for humans

00:09:29.500 is so important and it's actually one of the determining factors for how long we live when we

00:09:33.660 lose social communities and and social interaction we actually pass away much younger i do think

00:09:38.600 there's two conversations about ai there's ai today and ai in the future and if you want to

00:09:42.340 make yourself valuable today i think we're in a place where you can integrate ai into what you're

00:09:46.420 doing to produce more value i don't know where ai will take us in the future but i do hope i pray

00:09:51.960 that there will be this renaissance this evolution where mankind just learns to appreciate the human

00:09:58.000 experience. AI takes care of a lot of the stuff we don't want to do. This is like an optimistic

00:10:02.160 kind of outlook. And we just get to deep dive into what the human spirit is really about and

00:10:06.640 really explore that and an age of enlightenment. You know what it is, is the honeymoon period is

00:10:11.980 starting to end, right? Because AI was, you know, we had Elon Musk talking about the singularity

00:10:16.840 and, you know, some doomsayer saying it's going to replace 50% of jobs. And then suddenly people

00:10:22.240 had to start using AI and realize the limitations there, including what Pat was talking about,

00:10:26.500 limitations of ai versus humanity so but that's today that's again exactly conversation is how

00:10:32.880 does this you know does does this technology increase linearly or does it increase but here's

00:10:37.280 no it increases parabolically but this is this is no different than any other adoption cycle it

00:10:42.080 means nothing so how much how much okay if if let's just say 100 is it's reached its capacity

00:10:49.280 full potential where do you think we are right now inter i think we're at five percent yeah not

00:10:55.200 Not even half of a percent.

00:10:57.140 Perfect.

00:10:57.580 Okay, so we're at a half a percent.

00:10:59.060 But let's take you to 100%.

00:11:00.360 Go to 100%.

00:11:01.820 What does the world look like at 100%?

00:11:03.340 Star Wars.

00:11:04.000 Well, the world looks heavily automated.

00:11:05.720 It looks like labor and intelligence don't have the same value because they're no longer scarce.

00:11:09.740 No, intelligence still has value, but labor doesn't.

00:11:12.480 No, I don't think intelligence has value in that world because it depends on what you define as intelligence.

00:11:17.660 Like AGI would be more intelligent than the most intelligent doctor.

00:11:21.080 You would have an abundance of intelligence.

00:11:22.760 Would it get to a point where having kids would be no value to having kids?

00:11:27.600 Would it ever get to that point?

00:11:28.720 No, we will never get to that.

00:11:29.320 Why not?

00:11:30.360 Why not?

00:11:30.840 Because that's really the question, right?

00:11:32.700 Because if AI eventually gets to a point that I can make all the money in the world,

00:11:37.180 why did people have kids back in the days?

00:11:38.980 Not today.

00:11:39.460 200 years ago, why did people have kids? 1.00

00:11:41.300 Labor. 1.00

00:11:42.060 Free labor? 0.99

00:11:42.880 Just so you know, it was labor.

00:11:44.000 Wow.

00:11:44.380 Absolutely.

00:11:46.080 Any industrial society, wealthy society.

00:11:48.160 For hundreds of years, we had kids to help families' business.

00:11:52.760 it was a replacement game do you think we'll ever get to a point that we don't have kids because

00:11:57.160 hey i can do my job so i don't need to make money so why am i having kids for why would i bring kids

00:12:01.480 in this society i talked to an australian economist last week who is the most pessimist economist i've

00:12:06.120 met in my life which most socialist and communist economists are and he said to me i became a

00:12:10.520 pessimist because i learned the facts i said if you were 25 today he's 73 today i said if you were

00:12:14.840 25 today would you have kids he says absolutely not i said why he says because i know facts climate

00:12:19.400 to change i would never have kids so you go to a point of ai really getting to a level of 100

00:12:25.120 would we still have kids if yes why again i would okay so we do see a decline we do see a decline

00:12:31.540 in in childbirth in a big affordability five eight today but what if affordability is out

00:12:36.760 which it will make it full automation it's not even money why do you have it is not an argument

00:12:41.460 because we we're much wealthier society we have less kids that's that's it's not affordability

00:12:46.820 And there's a correlation.

00:12:48.340 The correlation is what Pat said, is that large families where, first of all, you need a lot of kids because quite a few of them died in their younger years.

00:12:56.000 But really, it was labor.

00:12:57.300 You need more labor to work the family farm.

00:12:59.020 I would say you're going to have kids again because we're going to, hopefully, this is the optimistic outlook, because of this renaissance where the human experience is what is valued.

00:13:07.500 And the human experience is having children propagating your own species.

00:13:11.140 I just think that we'll have the rest taken care of. 0.90

00:13:13.440 I think the current direction, okay, in the book, Choose Your Enemies Wisely,

00:13:19.960 I presented a chart to everybody on this thing.

00:13:23.620 I don't know if you've seen this chart or not.

00:13:25.480 The chart is the selfish, selfless score, okay?

00:13:29.740 The selfish, selfless score.

00:13:32.020 Guys, I'm texting it to you.

00:13:33.180 If you want to pull it up, I think, Connor, you have it.

00:13:35.720 If you don't have it, I'm just texting it to you right now anyways.

00:13:37.980 If you just pull this up, I just sent the chart to you.

00:13:40.480 If the score goes higher, we have a problem.

00:13:45.940 If the score goes lower, we also have a problem.

00:13:49.120 There needs to be an element of selfishness.

00:13:52.220 People that have a very low selfish score, that's a terrible society.

00:13:55.940 Because you need to aspire to do something.

00:13:58.120 So like here, this was the chart, the net positive index chart that we put together in the book,

00:14:02.600 Choose Your Enemies Wisely. 0.99

00:14:04.220 If you're selfless 0%, you're 100% selfish, you're a criminal, you're a psychopath. 1.00

00:14:09.220 If you're 90% selfish, 10% selfless, you're a narcissist. 1.00

00:14:13.560 Very, the world revolves around you.

00:14:15.200 If you're 80% selfish, 20%, you're a solopreneur.

00:14:19.000 You just kind of want to make money.

00:14:20.060 You're a laptop entrepreneur.

00:14:21.780 If you're 70, 30, you're a kingmaker.

00:14:23.720 You're a driver.

00:14:24.360 It's your 60, 40, you're synergist.

00:14:25.880 You bring people together.

00:14:27.220 If you're 50, 50, you're an advisor.

00:14:29.040 You're probably above 65 years old, 70 years old.

00:14:31.840 If you're 40, 60, you're a supporting cast.

00:14:34.540 If you're 30, 70, you're a passive.

00:14:36.520 You're meek.

00:14:36.900 You're actually not good for any organization. 0.98

00:14:38.680 You're 20-80, you're indecisive.

00:14:41.180 You're conforming to everyone. 0.99

00:14:42.740 10-90, you're a weak-willed coward, and 0-100 doesn't exist. 0.95

00:14:47.820 So what happens if the selfish score goes higher? 0.99

00:14:50.000 It's all based on money.

00:14:50.860 Then what?

00:14:51.640 What if everybody is rich?

00:14:53.460 What if everybody's a millionaire?

00:14:55.420 What if life is all about how much money and everything I do for myself?

00:14:58.900 There's an element of this that we need to think about.

00:15:02.260 Like, it isn't just if AI gets to a point where everything's about there's going to be so much wealth and rich and is this it?

00:15:09.660 It's not it.

00:15:10.220 There's got to be more to it.

00:15:11.480 Well, that that when you were reading this and hit me is that an AI future without faith in society is a future that cannot exist.

00:15:18.860 And but faith leads to what?

00:15:21.000 For me, it's human.

00:15:22.840 It's human.

00:15:23.720 We have to protect the human component of it.

00:15:27.680 That's why I hate this term intelligence, because intelligence is not just about spitting out data and understanding facts.

00:15:34.060 Intelligence is there's more layers to it.

00:15:36.180 I don't think AI ever gets to all of those layers.

00:15:38.780 That's why AI will always be a tool for humanity, because there are some things we just can't describe it.

00:15:42.680 So intelligence is more than just strictly what AI can deliver.

00:15:47.080 And I think that's what's being discovered after this honeymoon process is over.

00:15:50.560 We're starting to use AI and see its limitations.

00:15:53.260 It is not a replacement for human creativity and intelligence, as we maybe more comprehensively understand.

00:16:00.000 It is a tool that humans will learn to adapt and use within their own processes.

00:16:05.480 Can you run a poll in the back?

00:16:07.660 Here's the poll.

00:16:09.060 Do you think the world would be happier if some sort of a UBI existed that paid everyone $300,000 a year?

00:16:21.080 okay you don't have a you don't need to have a job you don't need to do anything

00:16:25.680 ai has done such a good job that financially everybody's taken care of and you just go live

00:16:31.180 your life do you think people would be happier or no just run a poll offer a perspective and try to

00:16:35.700 write that question a lot shorter and i gave you a paragraph to try to shorten that i count on the

00:16:40.340 guys in the back to be able to do it go ahead so i i think the ideal situation is if everybody

00:16:44.660 um in society was able to have um you know shelter food energy transportation and then

00:16:50.380 after that if you want more you have to go work for it because that's where a lot of crime comes

00:16:54.300 from where people don't know i don't think that okay so see to me when you look at the capitalism

00:16:59.660 concept it's four things freedom to buy freedom to sell freedom to try and freedom to fail

00:17:09.600 you take the last one out what the hell is the purpose of it so let me continue yeah in marriage

00:17:16.340 Divorce is good. 0.99

00:17:18.040 There has to be the possibility of a relationship not working out.

00:17:21.780 There has to be the possibility of people not making enough money because it makes those who do success.

00:17:28.760 There has to be certain people in sports.

00:17:31.780 Ecuador lost yesterday.

00:17:33.320 They played horrible.

00:17:35.040 Mexico crushed.

00:17:36.380 Did you see the celebration in Mexico?

00:17:38.080 Did you see the mourning in Ecuador?

00:17:39.780 It needs to be there.

00:17:40.860 We all go through it.

00:17:41.700 We need to experience public humiliation and embarrassment.

00:17:45.120 it's actually good that we go through it at times we need to experience loss who was it in the bible

00:17:51.260 that talks about there's a season for mourning there's a season for is it Solomon it's King

00:17:56.240 Solomon of Ecclesiastes yeah so the season's for it so I'm trying to wonder if people would be

00:18:01.980 happier if everybody's minimum expenses were covered would the world be happier I think if

00:18:07.140 the things you need to survive were um because yeah I think that uh obviously after that you go

00:18:13.240 comparing things like um uh caliber of life like how much can you do outside of those things like

00:18:18.760 can you do fun enjoyable extravagant things but that's the main reason why people are upset and

00:18:24.140 why people you know start turning socialist and why crime is committed so if there was an abundance

00:18:28.720 of wealth created from ai um and we get to the point where there's those things are so cheap to

00:18:33.840 produce then what's the downside of just those main things you need to actually live being

00:18:37.640 covered because the expectation will be that more will be covered it will never be enough and then

00:18:42.800 and okay and more more harm than good you think yeah i think fundamentally the human experience

00:18:47.860 is one that has to come from some degree of real adversity i think the more we've shown that we

00:18:52.880 delve into comfort the more two things more miserable people get yeah the human spirit

00:18:58.360 tends to decline and also we tend not to drive ourself and push ourselves harder so there's two

00:19:03.980 like you have the the labor death and then you have the spiritual death that occurs you see i'm

00:19:09.020 I'm sorry.

00:19:09.320 No, it's okay.

00:19:09.740 Go ahead.

00:19:09.820 You see this all the time when people retire.

00:19:12.380 When people retire, they are usually miserable, and they end up dying.

00:19:16.480 Very quickly.

00:19:17.120 Very quickly.

00:19:17.680 But I do think we have to reevaluate the entire – if AI is going to become full automation,

00:19:23.000 if we are going to end up in this place where we have an abundance of everything,

00:19:26.540 the concepts of money no longer have the same value.

00:19:29.280 So we're still thinking about money as it is today.

00:19:31.260 Again, money won't have that value.

00:19:34.040 UBI becomes somewhat irrelevant when you're provided with food, shelter, the ability to do it.

00:19:38.660 So, again, you have to look at what is the purpose and value of human beings

00:19:42.200 and the human experience, and how do we continue and propagate that

00:19:46.020 so that people do that?

00:19:46.800 74% said, no, they wouldn't be happier.

00:19:49.500 26% said they would be happier.

00:19:51.420 Yeah.

00:19:51.900 With receiving $300?

00:19:53.400 Whatever.

00:19:54.120 If the living expenses, I think they would be miserable.

00:19:58.920 Absolutely.

00:19:59.660 I think the majority would be miserable.

00:20:02.220 There is no purpose in life if you're not overcoming something difficult,

00:20:06.980 challenging.

00:20:07.440 if you take all of that away the most basic concept of why some people have money is because

00:20:13.160 of what resistance not money physical like six-pack or muscle resistance you take resistance

00:20:19.660 out it's it's not this la-la land with unicorns flying above us and everything is good i actually

00:20:26.460 think it's a problematic society i agree with that i think you still have oh sorry go ahead

00:20:30.780 it's okay you still have struggle though if you have those basic things like i think you'd still

00:20:33.940 be striving to get the things that everybody else has because there's levels to it want to see your

00:20:38.880 rewards go further now at shell scene plus members can fill up on points at the pump on snacks car

00:21:07.580 But just think of what inspires people.

00:21:09.700 The moment you take out the minimum, you make people like,

00:21:15.900 you know what welfare does to most people?

00:21:18.160 Oh, yeah, terrible things.

00:21:19.180 You know what SNAP does to most people?

00:21:21.240 You know what unemployment for 24 months when Obama had that

00:21:23.980 and they kept bringing a, you know what it does to people?

00:21:25.820 I do. I mean, my parents grew up on welfare.

00:21:28.380 It steals away your dreams.

00:21:31.880 Everything.

00:21:32.520 Your drive, your ambition, everything.

00:21:35.020 Gone.

00:21:35.620 The most miserable person I know in my life, whom I want to name, I love this person dearly.

00:21:40.760 The most unhappy, miserable person I know in my life that I love more than words can describe.

00:21:47.160 Lived off of entitlements. 0.96

00:21:49.480 Lived off of everything.

00:21:50.880 And I've never met anybody more unhappy than this human being whom I love dearly.

00:21:56.220 Whom I love dearly.

00:21:58.480 Entitlement programs stole away her entire dignity.

00:22:02.720 And you see it in her eyes today.

00:22:04.540 And it breaks my heart that this happened.

00:22:07.040 It breaks my heart that this happened.

00:22:09.100 I think if we're constantly trying to make everything easier,

00:22:15.620 one of the biggest things is when you have a family and you have money

00:22:18.480 and you have to find ways to make things challenging for your kids

00:22:24.260 because it's so easy for them.

00:22:26.860 You have to find ways where I'm like, I'll tell my wife,

00:22:29.160 I'll say, babe, why are you making it easy?

00:22:30.580 No, no, no, don't make it easy.

00:22:32.600 Make it harder.

00:22:33.440 Why?

00:22:34.020 They have a very good life.

00:22:37.280 We're stealing things away from them if we make everything easy for them.

00:22:41.000 No.

00:22:41.760 But you think they do legs and you think they read books and yes.

00:22:45.240 And you think that yes, yes.

00:22:47.240 Why?

00:22:47.920 What do we do?

00:22:49.220 When we had nothing, we had a hard life.

00:22:50.420 We have to find a way to provide difficulty and challenges for them.

00:22:54.280 And so I know the average person will watch and say,

00:22:55.940 you know what, you're so disconnected from real life.

00:22:58.580 There's anybody that's not disconnected from real life, man.

00:23:00.880 I've built a business, and I've failed miserably, and I came up,

00:23:03.520 and I came from a life of having nothing, nothing.

00:23:07.140 And if you take that away, you don't know who I am.

00:23:09.720 You literally won't know who I am.

00:23:11.400 You won't know who I am right now.

00:23:12.460 I would just be a guy walking down the street. 1.00

00:23:14.140 You're like, oh, there goes the Middle Eastern. 1.00

00:23:15.220 Why is he so tall? 0.99

00:23:16.420 That's what you would say, okay?

00:23:18.120 Because that's what most people say.

00:23:20.020 Wow. 1.00

00:23:20.880 I remember one time this 7-year-old lady I'm giving a talk. 0.99

00:23:23.480 She comes up to me.

00:23:24.180 She says, did you say you're Iranian and Armenian and what was the last one, Sicilian?

00:23:30.500 No, ma'am, Assyrian.

00:23:31.460 Yeah. 0.51

00:23:32.000 Why are you so tall?

00:23:33.800 I said, ma'am, because I was breastfed until 17 years old.

00:23:37.840 And she says, seriously?

00:23:40.500 I said, that's a Middle Eastern culture.

00:23:42.040 I was breastfed until 17.

00:23:43.260 Her husband's like, honey, he's messing with you.

00:23:45.700 No man is breastfed until 17 years old.
