Are we the last generation to learn skills?
It would be nice actually to not have to have skills only tangentially or coincidentally relevant to the task. Our skills are often a thing in itself, e.g. you may know how to write SQL, but what you really want is to run (or to help run) a business. Is writing SQL a skill? Yes. Is it relevant to what you really want? Barely. The same for washing brushes, setting up routers, cutting vegetables.
We drown in ourself invented complexity and are scared of the perspective of living a true life. Those who were sleeping cogs will wake up. Those who want to do SQL will do it anyway, as a hobby. But what will they do to make a living? Haha, why would we bigcorps and elites even care. You’ll do something, maybe. We just have to make sure you can’t riot.
