This is for everyone born in the 2000s:
Statistically, you’ve already reached the peak of your private contacts – from now on, they will only decline.
By 2050, 10 billion people will live on this planet, two-thirds in cities. Yet cities make people more anonymous, not more connected. And in ever faster-changing work environments, there’s little time left for real bonds.
Many of your friends and relatives will no longer be around, long-term business contacts will remain the exception – and much of what you can do today will be obsolete by 2050 – only then you won’t be 25 anymore.
Already today, carelessly commissioned AI content is flooding the net, making you feel even lonelier – even if right now you may be too distracted to notice its full extent. Don’t worry: sooner or later, distractions will fade, and loneliness will hit you harder and sooner than you’d like.
