The speaker had doubts about pursuing artificial general intelligence due to concerns and fears. However, the main reason for exploring other opportunities was the concept of comparative advantage, where one should consider shifting professions if institutions are eager to pay for current work. Despite the value of creative work, there is often an inverse relationship with compensation. The speaker believed AI was an unstoppable force by 2011-2012, attracting more capital and talent. Looking ahead, the speaker contemplates their comparative advantage in the next 20 years, leaning towards writing. The pursuit of 'newmaness' signifies the quest for profound experiences, while future learning interests include delving deeper into religion through travel, reading, and interactions with diverse cultures. Recommendations for religious exploration include visiting Istanbul and the religious site in Amritsar, with an emphasis on immersing in India's spiritual richness.
