Things are going to change once again. It's been a long time ago since things really changed. In the 70s, probably. And before that maybe in the 1920s. It will be a generational change. Life went from quaint 19th century stuff to airplanes and medicine and plate tectonics and knowledge of galaxies and washing machines and the contraceptive pill and antibiotics in one or two generations. Then there was a bit of breathing room and things are picking up once again. Life is never constant. It is something you prepare for and deal with. For reference, people in Europe over the last hundred years lived through extreme ups and downs. Cities flattened to the ground. Entire families exterminated. Properties expropriated. All streets renamed multiple times. Entire ideologies swapped out multiple times. The US has enjoyed relative constancy. But now the entire world will change once more. It's not the first time. But history is back. Whether you prepare or put your head in the sand.
- purplemoonx 2mo agoNah this whole thing felt artificial and forced. With Trump and everything else. There is a ton of work to do. We don’t even know how to stop aging and haven’t sent people to Mars, have still not really invented AI, and tons of business is still clunky and offline. The whole anti-smart people (and anyone who tries anything) movement feels very backlashy and full of revenge from a group who felt left out by us - all while we had no idea. We were just going to work. There’s still a lot of work to do IMO and yes money to be made. If we can turn it around. They got us with bullshit and lies but we can get them with hard work and organization.
