Three-quarters of the flags, borders and anthems sitting at the U.N. today were not there 60 some-odd years ago.

The U.S. started with no stars. In fact, it started with a completely different flag. The last two were added in 1959, Hawaii and Alaska.

The Americas has been a relatively stable continent. The last truly new border we have is Panama in 1903.

There is a massive ecosystem that has to get built that looks like a biosphere. And the various parts of that biosphere better be there.

There has to be some more regulation. But our kids have this incredible buffet of they can work in genomics, they can work in pre-omics, or they can work in robotics, or they can work in this, or they can work in that. And within the next five years there will be entirely new industries that come out of nowhere that kids are working in that would have been inconceivable when they started college. Not when we started college.
