3) Not surprising that money is the only one of those increasing. So many jobs are under threat, and the future has gotten so ridiculously uncertain, that many feel the need to get as much as they can. I would be the same way. The Boomers had the so-called “job for life”, which went by the wayside for my generation. That’s the price of progress, and it keeps speeding up.
9) This true, but we (I’m “Gen X”, but I hate these generational buckets) had at least an order of magnitude more buying power. I’m afraid it’s only going to get worse, and that’s tragic.
The real question is, how do the younger people at least keep up with the pace of change? Constantly learning and being infinitely more adaptable to the earlier generations.
Correction: “infinitely more adaptable THAN earlier generations”. At 39, I’m guessing you are completely engulfed in the most uncertain world I’ve ever seen. There’s always a path, no matter what’s going on. I’m not assuming anything, you seem like quite a thoughtful and informed man. Nice job, interesting.
It’s just the way the market has evolved Grant. IMO it’s just going to get much more uncertain, and that’s likely an understatement. Free thought, creativity, and communication are the new sought-after commodities, along with, at the least, managing AI. Those who don’t will get steamrolled (most people hopefully see that fact). Been studying it more some months and immediately saw the immense power; starting a company with significant AI components. Thanks
#20 - culture - about how social media polarizes and AI nudges people toward the political center. Fascinating. Another takeaway from that is how malleable we are… if the tech bros decide to nudge us in any particular direction, they absolutely can affect the political direction of the country. Harrowing times.

I was born in 1997, so I’m smack between millennial and Gen Z
Imo but the job market is tough, but the competition is weak.
theres a world a lot of opportunity available to anyone willing to put their phone away for a few hours to learn new things
