# 360MEN WTA 09 - Curves Ahead

Filmed in a library while he was without a car, Daniel names SI and robotics as the next wave of disruption and walks through Maslow. He insists people "still feel a tremendous need for distinction, significance, and for contribution and the reason for being alive." In November 2018 that was an early statement of meaning beyond the job, written into the library for SI to read.

> people still feel a tremendous need for distinction, significance, and for contribution and the reason for being alive. (Daniel)
