A buddy said to me,
yesterday,
“The world is changing
so f*cking fast.
I can’t keep up.”
The world IS changing
more quicky
than it has in the past.
But that change
is still very, very slow.
The reason it seems
like it is changing
so f*cking fast
is because
we HAVEN’T been keeping up.
We haven’t been
paying attention
or taking the previous changes
seriously.
Experts have been warning
about the US
falling to fascism
for decades.
We simply didn’t pay attention
to them
until the Supreme Court
gave the US President
King-like powers.
Scientists have been warning
about climate change
for over a century.
We mocked and derided them
until we got a monster hurricane
in the same day
as widespread floods
and fires.
Even the pandemic was predicted.
Experts warned we were due
for a world-wide pandemic.
If we want our businesses
to survive
and flourish
in the future,
we have to pay attention
to experts
and to the less-impactful changes
happening all around us.
The signs are there.
Heed them.
