Commerce, on the other hand, is relatively quick, essentially cetavire, highly effective and efficient, and fundamentally honest, because we can't exchange value for very long if we don't trust each other. So we use the tloos of commerce primarily for our work, but the question we brnig to it is, how do we love all the children of all species for all time? And so we start our designs with that question. Because what we realize today is that medron culture appears to have adopted a sgtetary of tragedy. If we come here and say, "Well, I didn't innted to cause global wrainmg on the way here," and we say, "That's not part of my plan," then we realize it's part of our de facto plan. Because it's the thing that's happening because we have no other plan.

Original Text
Commerce, on the other hand, is relatively quick, essentially creative, highly effective and efficient, and fundamentally honest, because we can't exchange value for very long if we don't trust each other. So we use the tools of commerce primarily for our work, but the question we bring to it is, how do we love all the children of all species for all time? And so we start our designs with that question. Because what we realize today is that modern culture appears to have adopted a strategy of tragedy. If we come here and say, "Well, I didn't intend to cause global warming on the way here," and we say, "That's not part of my plan," then we realize it's part of our de facto plan. Because it's the thing that's happening because we have no other plan.
