So if you combine information overwhelm and uncertainty, it's a prescription for future shock, which Alvin Toffler defined as that state of disorientation.
You're kind of like, wait, what's going on?
What's happening?
Why do I feel foggy right now?
Why is it so hard to connect the dots in my brain?
That future shock sensation is the symptom of those larger forces.
And so if you're feeling overwhelmed, it's not you, it's literally future shock.
And suddenly it kind of snuck up on us.
yeah i think about that all the time so the the defining characteristic right now is this breathtaking opportunity and potential disruption happening at the same time and separating the signal from the noise is the problem to solve right if you just open up your phone and look at news feeds you're going to get a lot of conflicting information
And you're going to get a lot of information that's, you know, if we're honest, it's designed to catch eyeballs and to grab people's attention.
So the headlines will be pretty intense, maybe a little dialed up more than they should be.
But if you look at the fundamental things that are going on in the market and the world today, and if you can keep your eye on the longer view, I think the biggest problem today is that we're being trained to just focus on 60 second chunks, right?
Instagram and TikTok and news feeds are training us to think in increments.
You can't even get through a news feed without an ad and then a link to something else.
So there's no long thinking beyond a few minutes and there's no, it's hard to get a long time horizon.
And when you're investing long time horizons, I think are a better strategy than trying to time the market and do those kinds of things.
And so you pick things that you think have a future and then have the, as Warren Buffett said, the most important thing is temperament, have the temperament.
to not let the volatility and the random ups and downs distract you to the point where you make a bad choice.
Buy when you shouldn't buy, sell when you shouldn't sell, that kind of stuff.
Agency is the most important thing.
