I realize that constant change is the new norm, but I can’t help but think that it will be an exhausting way to live. Having to always reinvent yourself and have your resume out gets harder to do, especially as you get older or you need some routine and security to function well. The young can do it, but not forever. In the past, people struggled with a lot of problems that technology has largely solved, but at least they didn’t feel the need or obligation to constantly reinvent themselves. If you were born to a farmer, you were a farmer, and that was that. Not that I’m idealizing the old days, but the constant need to self-define and transform brings a certain type of stress and pressure unknown in more traditional societies.
