What's naive about it? If you look at the accelerating rate of change then there is no indication whatsoever that it's going to slow down, if anything it's been accelerating since the renaissance.

I wonder what generation you think I am, also generations are pretty much redundant now days, the further we get away from WW1 the less relevant they are.

Basically I see massive disruptions in our way of life from crypto currencies to automation, the increase in globalisation and removal of borders, and a general leveling of societies around the planet.

Please, show me the evidence. I'm very interested.

If this is a pointless discussion, why did you enter it in the first place, and why did you only claim it to be pointless now?

A quick google shows plenty of articles for and against, I'm going to find a for one and post it and you're going to find an against one and post it.

I think you'll find I didn't post it now, I posted that comment five days ago after people were simply quoting what they chose from articles and also my comments and completely loosing context.

I actually feel sorry for people who are so stuck in the old ways, there's been a lot of change over the last fifty years but that's nothing compared to what's coming.

Yes, I have experienced the same thing when googling, it's a fair point. The fact is there are a bunch of smart people on both sides of this argument, writing compelling pieces.

I hope you are not referring to me in the last comment, as I am not stuck in any kind of old ways. As I have pointed out, I am in support of change, but not the type of change that is discriminatory, and is simply trying to enforce an outcome that some people think is the right one, when it may well not be.

If we work towards equality-of-opportunity, then we can't fail, it's logically very simple.

No, not you. I'm not going to name names though.

Basically the way I see it we're leaning towards more globalisation with things from crypto currencies to automation being massively disruptive to our way of life and in a way proving to be a huge global leveler.
