Whatever you think is causing the situation, is not.
There is a deeper cause at work. It’s simple when you see it. But it’s hard to see, mostly because it’s prosaic and obvious and therefore invisible.
Once seen, it cannot be unseen.
Example: a mix of Kevin Kelly and Nassim Taleb. Technology gets marginally better all the time. That’s the Kevin Kelly input. It’s an exponential function. That’s the Nassim Taleb input. Looking backwards is misleading because it does not reveal the exponential future.
The implications of this are at odds with business as usual.
Gravity always wins.
I have specific beliefs about where this leads in the society, economy, etc.
That’s all well and good. Things will happen the way they will happen. How am I going to position myself and my family to live well?
By seeing the obvious. By seeing the stuff in plain sight. By not being distracted by the chaff, by not being attracted by the chum.
