The cost to think and the cost to build are falling to zero.
The only question left is: what's worth building?
When the cost to think and the cost to build approach zero, you can build anything. That only heightens the need to build the right things — the things that are valuable, the things that help humans flourish. What's worth building is the only question left.
From scribes and scholars to LLMs — the cost per unit of intelligence is collapsing toward zero. What once required a lifetime of study now takes milliseconds.
The Great Pyramid required ~100,000 workers. The Empire State Building: 3,400. A modern factory: mostly robots. One person with AI can now ship what took a team of fifty.
As costs vanish, the scarce resource shifts from capability to judgment. The premium on wisdom, discernment, and human flourishing rises without limit.
