Great insight indeed. But I feel the issue we all have nowadays is choosing a direction.
I mean, everything is changing so quickly that, the direction you take can make you bankrupt and become completely irrelevant by the time you master the things involved in that direction.
I can’t say every generations have lived the same things because we’re the firsts generations to live through that incredibly fast evolution.
Our reptilian brain isn’t made for internet and the flow of information it comes with. And the societal and technological changes it brings with it.

And here I stand, lost in the middle of thousands of directions. I can’t choose one and stick to it since I can’t tell what will still be relevant in 1, 2, 5, 10 years. I’m talking about skills that allows to earn a living but I think this point of view is for every choices we have to make. Everything is going too fast and nobody can keep up the pace anymore.
At least, this is what I feel.
