Humans take a variety of actions. These interleave nicely, and each has its place.

The roles of customer, manager, and entrepreneur require using increasingly-more information to make projections amidst increasingly-greater uncertainty.

AI accesses large amounts of information, makes inferences, and will be able to generate and triage more possibilities. These complements to human capabilities will serve both humans and AI well.

As Customers, We Value

As customers, we purchase what we project will be the best uses of our earnings to satisfy our current and future needs and wants.

We save for future purchases. We use these savings to purchase investments.

We purchase the products we use. We know best what has most satisfied us. We project best what will most satisfy us.

Our purchases create quantitative data about value. They show whether producers have optimally created capacity and chosen asking prices.

As Managers, We Produce

When we act as managers, we create capacity. We design and construct a plant and operate it increasingly closer to capacity. We add increased capacity. We add another plant, then another.
