๐บ๐ฆ Hello Morftenighter!
I hope this finds you well. In a moment of optimism earlier today, I shared this thought:

A critical part of the Product Lead role is remembering this:
In the large scheme of things, none of it matters. In a few billion years the sun will eventually destroy our planet.
Try solving problems, donโt get emotionally attached to solutions.
|
|
As noted in a reply, the optimistic bit is the belief that we won't annihilate ourselves sooner than that.
|
Even more irritating is the idea that being humans means having the ability to recognize traffic lights.
|
I wonder whether, in the future, in a Natural History Museum visited by intelligent robots, we'll be presented next to bees and salmon...

I took these two photos a few seconds apart. The top one is the one I was trying to make; the bottom one just happened. Which one do you prefer?

Beyond the present horror, I strongly agree with Ray Dalio. We are at a pivotal moment in history, witnessing big changes in the world as we know it.
|
I truly recommend watching this video. The explanation is crystal clear.
|
I wish our current leaders understood how history repeats itself. Maybe they could avoid making the same mistakes once more.
|
|
|
I also agree with Dalio that we are looking at China as the next dominant force (not that this is an original idea, I think it's pretty obvious).
|
My theory is that by the time we start being really scared by a potential nuclear escalation with Russia, China will enter the fray in the role of the savior of the free world that the USA had in 1945.
|
Hopefully, that will seal the transition less violently than 77 years ago. After that, China will lead titanic infrastructure projects to transform Siberia, a traditionally too cold region that is warming fast.
