  • There’s a growing wisdom gap coming in America. The people who are already well versed in company practices and culture are going to use AI to complete the tasks that they would have otherwise given to assistants and junior resources.

    The junior resources are going to struggle to find jobs because they are lacking in the KSAs that schools simply cannot provide training for. And that means when us Gen Xers and later Millenials retire there could be a major gap where we have few people with that inherent knowledge to replace us. And where there’s no work and no hope, you get something akin to what is starting to occur in China right now…or revolt.

    My hope is that schools will be rethought and there will be a lot more focus on getting an internship early and for the long term. Something more like apprenticeships, which the blue collar workforce maintained, but it’s something we’ll likely need to bring back to white collar jobs.

    This isn’t to say that schools should diminish a well rounded education. I think it’s extremely important for students to take electives outside of their focus for a multitude of reasons, one being that it helps students realize the importance of how others contribute to society.

    Apprenticeships can help to fill the knowledge gap, but the white collars that are in the jobs now will also need to be retrained and made comfortable to work with a large influx of apprentices to make this approach a success.


  • Uhhhggggg how many times must I say this, you’re not supposed to play chess on an ancient burial mound. Especially not on the 4th Friday on the second full moon when Ares is rising!

    The best thing you can do at this point is concede that your soul now belongs to the Devil, but like, act like you’re really bored and apathetic during the whole ripping out your soul from your body ordeal (he hates that) and then challenge him to a best out of 3, saying next time if he wins you’ll go about it, but with like, a lot more feeling.

    Good luck, hopefully he won’t whip out Bobby Fischer on you.
