With the empirical evidence I've gathered, it seems like young economies, whether it be a new nation like Israel or one resurrecting from the grips of communism like Estonia, that the greatest risk for the economy has always been a lack of innovation, followed by it becoming too insular. Mature economies often are diametrical, see innovation as a risk, and interoperable globalization as a security threat. When something truly novel is brought into the world, there's a degree of inherent inauthenticity applying data for risk assessment, because the historical data is either an anachronism or at best an approximation of the entrepreneurial expression yet to be birthed. Global interdependence is a reality that's happening whether we care to agree and isn't the same thing as foreign dependencies, but there's no agreed shared definition between the two these delineations. We can't be moving in opposite directions & sustain. According to IBM, we have passed a threshold when human knowledge is doubling every year, but that prior to 1945 it was doubling every century. Literally that means that singularity is at a rate where a few years into the future could well be equivalent to a decade or greater in the past. Time doesn't mean the same thing and can't be tracked linearly so much with vectors and other types of 3D modeling that ultimately will become computationally necessary for any predictability, and too challenging to discern how to navigate the market without becoming fully dependent upon AI. It may already be the case whether or not we've admitted it to ourselves. Additionally, publishers still release new textbooks every 3-4 years within the education system, which puts younger generations at an unfair disadvantage because of the inherent knowledge curve that's arising. I had the pleasure of attending Andrew Grant at his TEDxHongKong in 2016, where he shared his forensic investigation around our collective loss of creativity. He shared insightfully that most lose touch with creativity at a very young age pointing to a poor education system and automation, while also citing research stating creativity is unilaterally preferred amongst any other traits for CEOs. We're all in a global economy, we all require creativity as a requirement to survival. Novel experiences are linked to preservation of brain tissue, whereas redundancy can increase cortisol in the brain and cause neural tissue to degrade. Here and now any labor that our mind knows could be outsourced to a machine renders a physical disease state. It's visually obvious with the data that English Lingua Franca is strongly correlated with women's equality, thought to be due to its status as a global language. Erasure of cultural identify is costly, but inequality is even more strongly linked to poverty. Globalism is the historical byproduct of abuse, but it is our acceptance of it as present reality to be done with grace & adaptive mechanism to collective growth and healing.
