36 Months to Make it: Time is Running Out
I think if you spend as much time online as well as just talking to many entrepreneurs and investors around the world like I do, you get the sense that something major is changing in the world. A bizarre unease. Everyone is trying to “get their bag” aka get their money. Severely short term greedy. For a while I was not sure why. But the reason it only crystallized in my brain when I heard a talk by Dan Koe.
“You have about 36 months to make it. And it makes sense because AI will continue to replace jobs no matter how much people fight against it. Money as we know it will change or even cease to exist because millions of ASI’s or artificial super intelligences will rapidly execute tasks beyond human comprehension, dictating humanity’s future. And beside the point, if you are interested in crypto, this is probably the last time you’re going to see incredible gains because they are being regulated, they are being adopted, and after this, they are going to become more like stocks” (Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ve1L21l1GW4)
A bit extreme but when considering all the technological and geopolitical changes right now plus the cultural and demographic trends in this Fourth Turning event, the world will have changed beyond recognition for all of us. Growing inequality and the continuing K-Shaped economy where the winners really win and losers really lose. It’s gonna get really ugly.
So assuming you all agree with me on this take and trend. What can you do about this?
Dan Koe gets very tactical and says “you have three super powers at your disposal right now to take control of your future. And those are one: learning-the ability to adapt and figure out what actions you must take to get a specific result. Two: persuasion-the ability to build trust and attract people to a mutually beneficial vision or narrative. We’re talking persuasion and mutual benefit and not manipulation. And three: execution-So the ability to turn ideas into reality through automation, creation and delegation.”
He goes on to say:
So this creates a clear distinction between who will thrive and who won’t. Doers versus directors. Employees versus entrepreneurs. Low agency versus high agency. Those who assign work rather than being assigned work. So you assigning the work either to yourself, self direction, directing your own career or to an AI prompt, or an automation tool or something of that nature that allows you to do more and pursue your personal goals that bring more fulfillment and meaning to your life.”
If this does not make you have a sense of urgency, and take some action, not sure what will. Get locked in!
