I was partially home-schooled and I think it may have contributed differently to my adult spectrum of cognition. Kids who grew up during the pandemic with more remote learning might also be wired somewhat differently. GenZ have a noticeable preference for freelancing and the Creator Economy ("creating their own job"), so I'm noticeably hyper-aware of how education and value creation will shift as more industries face automation and A.I. augmenting many of the tasks within corporations.

Clearly Capitalism and ownership structures need to become more distributed or die. Or we risk revolution and civil war. Inflation, lower trust in Government and wealth inequality could bring American capitalism to its knees in just a few generations.

Mackenzie, congrats on your writing and ideas in The Individual vs The Empire.

IMHO Individual (and distributed) thinking, efforts, and actions are always more "promising", progressive, and far preferable to Centralized (or Imperial modes).
