Her deep involvement in the WEF (multiple roles, one as head of a WEF "Future of Work" project and another as a member of a media/entertainment/etc. WEF steering committee) is starkly at odds with Elon's own recent rhetoric against globalism, ESG, etc.
It's not just that I thought of accomplishing more, but I also believed the world would be stable and things wouldnt change too much. How foolish that was. A stable world is a dream and at any moment something somewhere might impact us so hard that it changes everything. My parents lived through that, had their jobs replaced with automated systems halting most of their dreams. And now we went through a pandemic and are going through a possible world war....
It's true that the pace of change appears to have accelerated.
I grew up under the threat that the USSR would nuke the U.S. and 70's culture was beginning to wake up to problems of oil shortages (embargoes), over-population, pollution. I am not sure I perceived the world as a stable, predictable thing even then.
But the Boomers had the rug pulled out from under them when the Summer of Love rolled in and suddenly the gender roles and marriage contracts of their parents generation "Ozzie and Harriet" lifestyle were shattered. Women entered the workplace, the decline of the blue-collar living wage, automation...
And I suppose the generation before began with the Great Depression followed up by the rise of fascism and WWII...
I agree with all this. Times are changing and its happening so fast that not everyone can catch up.
All the problems we had in the 70's did not get fully resolved, but seem to be getting worse, just look at global warming or oil and gas prices jumping sky high. Not to mention housing prices.
Will see where the world goes in the next decade.. I sure hope it gets better.
