You know, STEM with the arts component, but empathy is everything at a human level. We've lost a little bit of that. And I think there's going to be a rebound. Something's going to come back.

“No, I mean, well, eventually that will certainly be a component. No, I mean, in a few years, there'll not just be advertisers. They'll probably, you know, merge with the point is technology is going to play a big role. Self-paced learning, things that I am inspired through the Montessori approach where my kids are in preschool. Doing makers. I mean, the problem solving, creativity, collaboration, contextualization, all these things that matter at the end of the day. The interesting thing about technology, and I'm very involved at UC trying to California does not allow bore people with A through G requirements. If you take computer science, it doesn't give you a credit as having taken a math course. We want to change that. But interestingly, I was talking to some folks the other day said, why do you want to teach all these computer science courses when AI is going to take over that completely? So back to notion of creativity.”

“Look, we have an industrial mindset in our rulemaking, industrial mindset in terms of mass education, mass production mindset. So the education system needs to be reimagined. The idea we're lining people up in rows of desks based on the same data manufacturer, their age, and they're sitting there getting lectured by Sage on the stage is seriously laughable. And the fact that we're having help.”

“And where I said in my book, I began the first chapter was about the fact that we're on the leading cutting edge, technologically speaking, in government of 1973, because that's when most of the big procurement for IT was built out, including DBA. So what you do, do you govern a governor?”

“So, do you think Are you kidding? 100%. Why don't we? But we need platform thinking. We need technological thinking. You can't be in the apps business. I mean, that was the genius of jobs. And that's where government needs to think about things. Right now we just think, I mean, Bill O'Brien wrote a book about it where we just, you know, Donald Kettle is an old political theorist and government's just a big veny machine. You put in a dollar taxes, you get limited choices. Police fire, healthcare, education, national offense. You don't like what you get. You shake the machine. But it's that machine mentality of limited choices not customized around you that's created the friction and frustration we have about government. The idea of government as a platform is about a different kind of engagement, a world where we've all been conditioned by Amazon, a world customized around you. You have different expectations when you go to the DMV. And that expectation is not to fill out as literally I did six months ago. Forms in triplicate. They still have forms in triplicate. You can't make this stuff up. So we're on a collision course of the future.”

You want waste and inefficiency billions and billions of dollars.

“No. Billions. Okay. It's in the billions. It's an extraordinary thing. Right. No, no. Now, don't get me wrong. It's come with a tax increase and it came with some very serious cuts, including cuts to higher education, which were difficult. That said, what's our grand strategy? And how can we go on a journey together in the state and how can we address the issue of reimagining a 21st century education system that can address the issues of technology that's, again, growing at a pace and rate we never could have imagined? I'm fearful of the future of work. I'm fearful about the loss in the middle class. The biggest issue of our time is the issue of social mobility or lack thereof.

“Not to act is to act. And there's so many issues where we sit back and we put our finger in the wind or we wait for someone else or wait for a safe time. That's not my politics. So I'm happy to take risks. And I guess that's the point of this campaign is I'm going to be, you ask the question, what kind of candidate? I'm going to be authentic. I'm going to be myself. I'm going to take risks. And one thing that this state needs is a grand strategy. We've had a plan for solvency, a plan for triage, and Governor Brown's the right person at the right time, $27 billion budget deficit five years ago.

I chaired a task force for two years, came up with 45 specific recommendations. Sean appreciated sort of the reflective approach to it. We talked to him about whether or not he would support translating some of those recommendations into an initiative. There were a dozen other initiatives out there that frankly did not have, I thought, reasonable guideposts to deal with protecting our kids and public safety. Sean believed in those things. And to his credit, he stepped into this. But at the same time, he didn't expect to be so involved as he is.

“So it's a game changer in California will have an impact well beyond the borders of California and in Mexico as well, cartels. Drug dealers do not card. Drug dealers could care less about what they're selling. We're not introducing something that doesn't already exist. I'm not condoning the drug or celebrating the drug, but the reality is it exists. Let's get our arms around it. Let's regulate it. So you're getting like liquor. Exactly right. And so we're going to work towards that. But I make the point to make this point. That's not a very popular position to have publicly.”

No, not because I was right, because world's a better damn place, but it's a value proposition for me. Everything I do is with that. And that's a foundational principle. So I'll give you an example. I'm deeply involved in war on drugs, but not rhetorically, not just sitting there giving a speech about it. I mean, I've been out three years now, talking about looking at a different approach to marijuana and legalization in the state of California.

And I get why the incumbents are frustrated. I mean, because they've been saddled with all these lousy rules. By the way, it's always ironic the incumbents are the ones complaining about those rules, but then want the rules to apply to their competition because quote-unquote, it's unfair. Perhaps we should reimagine the rules for everybody and be a little bit more flexible in a rulemaking. That's the conversation.”

We're not having to debate about it outside of the situational debate about the immediacy of the stress, but there's some long-term legitimate concerns about the future of work, the future of work rules, future of labor's role in that respect, future of the middle class, and that needs to be reconciled.
