While I agree with you that we need high resilience to survive in an era where change is this fluid, I have different concerns. As I have family and friends who have young children like 5, I agree that the concerns here can be lessened, for] those children need what they always have: , to feel secure and loved and to gifted a deep thirst for learning.
Yet, it is not those children that concern me, but those on the cusp of adulthood, for those young adults do need direction. I deal with clients who are finished first year of a degree that is no longer valuable, and, while some can pivot, others are deeply distressed. Programmers already graduated are not getting work, as so much as changed. And those in higher levels of employment are taken on more work through AI doing some of theirs. Less employees due to AI agents does not mean less work for them; it means less new hires..
Have you listened to him speaking about that age group? I remember being that age and the youthful optimism one tends to have. That is conspicuously absent in young adults as they watch those employed in the very careers they'd hope to purse already anxious about potential job loss due to AI.
I am struggling with answers to give them. While change has always been a constant in life, it has not had this degree of acceleration nor this degree of uncertainty, especially for the younger people ,and that rate of change is projected to remain so for years to come.
Thank you so much for such a thorough reply! This post must have hit a nerve because it had the highest open rate of any post I've published recently. As a result, I've already started to write my next article, where I will share how I'm personally preparing my children for this new world. They are on the cusp of adulthood, as you put it. My daughter is 21, and my son is 17.
I can understand why this article's title generated the highest open rate. Parents with young children, parents like you wth those on the cusp of adulthood, and parents like me with adult children are concerned about their children's future in this time of accelerated change. I am really looking forward to reading your next article tackling those entering adulthood . I suspect it might even have an even higher open rate .
