Career Security Thanks To COVID

Yesterday, I talked about
how humans are getting
dumber
due to repeated bouts
of COVID.

If you avoid COVID
as much as possible,
that means
you will likely have
career security.

There will be
fewer and fewer people
available to work,
especially in
thinking-intensive jobs.

You don’t have
to worry as much
about aging out
of your industry
or
taking some time off
or
being your unique self.

In the future.

In the short term,
business is only beginning
to figure out
repeated infections
are a bad idea.

But the probability is high
that by this time
next year,
people with fully functioning
ie. COVID-avoiding
brains
will be in demand
as employees.

Protect your brain.
Avoid COVID.

The World Is Getting Dumber

I try to speak truths
here on client k.

Sometimes these truths
are brutal
and not at all politically correct
to talk about.

Here’s one of those brutal truths
– the world is getting dumber.

Every bout of COVID
damages the brain.

I’ve had one bout
of COVID
and I’m definitely dumber
than I was
prior to that infection.

A friend
has had four bouts.
She’s now incapable
of holding a coherent conversation.

She believes she’s making sense.
But she can’t remember
half the words
and can’t hold a thought together.

The child of a friend
asked me what she should do now
to increase the odds
of
getting a well paying job
in the future.

I told her
to avoid getting COVID.

If she does that,
she might end up
running the country.
She’ll be viewed
as a f*ckin’ genius.

The world is getting dumber.
Simply not getting dumber
will give you
a strategic advantage.

Wear a mask.
Social distance.
Install an air purifier
next to your work station.

Protect your brain.
And possibly rule the world.
