Yeah, that one hit me, too, but I don’t see it as similar. I think it was very spot-on considering the insane rate of change prevalent today. In my roughly five decades of life, I’ve watched things go from a relatively leisurely pace to what we have today where learned skills are frequently outdated within just a few years. It’s felt much like watching a boulder grow and accelerate ever faster as it rolls downhill, demolishing everyone & everything in its way.
You’re right, the only real similarity is change itself, as you said. That’s all I was thinking about in that moment.
Thanks for sharing your perspective, it really added to the article for me.
Another similar line stuck out to me.
