Imagine if you will, a world where everyone was chasing little pieces of green paper. The world seemed to revolve around the green paper. Movies were about having lots of green paper.
And then, what if you found out, and many others did to, that the green paper was a trap, a bog, a bottomless pit for which to throw your life away into.
Basically, you wake up one day, and all the old programming, all the old motivation is gone... worthless.
Of course, this state is light years ahead of the old state, but what do you do? Where do you go? What's my motivation?
This is where you are. Not specifically, but generally.
The world has changed.
The value structure is changing.
It leaves the old patterns dangling.
Without the dopamine from the "smart" phone, most find themselves untethered, rudderless.
Welcome to the new, better world.
