Great article. What fascinate me about the current situation is how fast the old world died - literally within a couple of years. This is the best evidence that progress is not just moving forward - it accelerates.

  I think maybe the old world (having seen about half a century) is always dying. For me it was a strange article (but worth the read). The good old days were not all bad and progress is not always the word I think of in these modern times.

  The rate of climate change also accelerates. The scientists are projecting 3°C by 2050 with 98% statistical certainty. Other scientists estimate 3°C of warming will kill off about 4 billion people. So yeah the old world is dying. The new one too.

> Faced with such fatalism, self-help seems essential. Disruption is real and it’s hard and we’ve made it through before. You can do more than you think you can; you are more malleable than you think you are. You don’t choose the game board but you choose how to play it.
Yeah. Don't hate the players: hate the game. I didn't choose this game but even though it's hard and even though I don't like it, you bet I'm playing it.
