That's one issue.

But there's always been that level of like retrenchment when they hit like the forty to fifty year old age and they're like neither strategic leadership nor like you know cheap enough to be like entry level graduate and you know high output updated the latest systems, etc.

And then on the other hand you have kids.

I think

Kids and students previously were already very brain-fried from like TikTok, social media, very, very westernized, right?

You know, promulgated by whatever they are consuming on social media.

Now you layer on like Chat GPT, which is you know, we talked about the westernization of thought in a very, very subtle manner.

That creates another layer.

But you also think about how the workforce outcomes

outcomes for a lot of the students might be very, very glim because today, you know, maybe I hire

A couple fresh graduates, you know, to be like that thin layer at the bottom to do a lot of execution, high velocity work.

But as AI gets better and better, your agents can now effectively do a lot of the work that you know fresh graduates used to do.

And you know, you layer that on top of like you know, large tech companies which used to like take in a lot of these young people, now doing layoffs, being much tighter, being first to adopt AI because tech.

Companies have traditionally always been a lot more like front-foot-forward and trying out new things and ways of organizing.

And trail you.

And I think that just, you know, makes the job market very scary for like fresh graduates in a way that I think will be very, very unprecedented.

And I don't think that governments around the world fully appreciate the socioeconomic impact of that.

Yeah.

And I don't think education systems around the world

are fully equipped to prepare, I think, young people for much, much more like uncertain like workforce.
