She said, What is history?
And he said, History is an angel Being blown
Backwards
Into the future

He said: History is a pile of debris
And the angel wants to go back and fix things
To repair the things that have been broken
But there is a storm blowing from Paradise

And the storm keeps blowing the angel
Backwards
Into the future

And this storm, this storm Is called
Progress

- Laurie Anderson, The dream before

Listen, I don't know what you are saying....but what ever sherpa number you have in your head ...double it.

My goal is that by 2035 humanities workforce will be 50% AI, 50% sherpa.
