turbulent times

On that we align, and turbulence is hard for many people.

I'm just not buying the "everything grows" narrative. At least not in the short/mid term.

That's reasonable to me. I wish I could part out why we're all anticipating scary short/mid term turbulence when technology is improving. I want to believe it's the wake of the ZIRP pivot reaching shore. Otherwise I feel like I'm being asked to believe this round of technology is zero sum.

Yes. I just fear that people will be left behind, at least for a while, and I think that we should keep an eye on that. Look at the people more than the statistic. I'm sure GDP growth will be great.

I think it has something to do with the sunny picture being photoshopped vs reality not matching up. Ultimately the hype/fomo is the cause of this. Not the tech, not the potential application of it. Not the final outcome. If the process sucks, pain will be experienced. And I don't think that much pain will be experienced by those fueling the hype the most.

I don't believe that either.
