Certainty Is An Illusion

Sep 13, 2024

True certainty doesn't exist in this world. Yet corporations, society, and individuals create an illusion of it.

A job considered secure just 10 years ago may now be subject to radical disruption and automation.

There are short-term predictions you can make with a high probability of being true, creating a sense of temporary certainty. But ultimately, it's an illusion. The rigid nature of society, which instinctively opposes change, provides some cushioning. However, change itself remains uncertain.

To thrive in this world, you must find a way to be at ease with uncertainty. Learn to dance on the edge of change. This is the only reliable strategy for life in an uncertain world.
