<div><font size="2" face="Arial"> Social Scientists note that a
societal paradigm shift happens about every 500 to 600 years. When these shifts
take e it was over a period of many years so that the change was little
noted and fully accepted. </font><font size="2" face="Arial">Now, our revolution,
our Societal End Times, is turning over very rapidly as represented in the terms
Gen X, Y, and Z. Our social scientists note that those born after 1985
are fully wired differently that those of us born prior to this time.
Represented in this group are the parents of our highschool students. Does this
make it two generations looking at life through the lens o
planing</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"> Thomas Friedman, the
noted Foreign Affairs columnist for the "New York Times,"
wrote a book published this year is, "Thank You for Being Late: An
Optimist's Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerations." He notes the
following:</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"> "Many of us fdeel even more
dislocated to iot, but many of us feel even more dislocated now as the result of
the election." </font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"> "Dislocation," as Froiedman uses
the term, "is when the whole environment is being altered so quickly that
everyone starts to feel they can't keep up. That is what is happening
now."</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"> Barbara Wendland, in her monthly
newsletter--<em>Connections</em>--<wbr>reports from Friedman's book, "In Friedman's
view, "we are living through one of the greatest inflection pointss in history."
Wendland goes on to write, "He thinks it's probably unequaled since Gutenberg, a
German blacksmith and printer, launched the printing revolution in Europe,
paving the way for the Reformation.</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"> Friedman observes, "The three
largest forces on the planet--technology, globalization, and climate change--are
all accelerating at once."</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"> Wendland goes one to
report, "Friedman observes, ". . . and they're all affecting each
other, making the total acceleration happen even faster." </font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"> As a result, he writes, ". . .
.so many aspects of our society's workplaces, and geopolitics are being reshaped
and <strong><font color="#ff0000" size="3">need to be
reimagined</font></strong>." (<em>emphasis is mine).</em></font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"> </font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"> Aren't we in the business of
"reimagination?" The trouble is, we is old!"</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"> The message I get from those
representing the post modern generation is, "Get out of the way, old man." My
response is, "I'm getting out as fast as I can, and I can see the light at
the end of the tunnel getting brighter all of the time!</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"> The resources mentioned are:

<div>Studied this paper introduced by Stuart Hampton in a meeting the other
night at our ICA colleagues. Really insightful about the structure of
society these days, especially in reference to opportunities and
limitations. Used to be, I thought of the upper, middle and poor
classes, but this casts a new light on it. And provides some helpful
categories and framework for grasping what’s going on these days.</div>
