I love the hubris.

Humans aren't evolved to process that much change, says a man who grew up in the 20th century. At the start war was just a scrap in a field, the most advanced piece of technology was an x-ray machine, and a major airport was a relatively flat piece of grass made for gliders made out of wood and canvas, by the end we'd had two world wars and one cold war, computers were everywhere, we had MRI machines and satellites and even a space station in orbit, and there are millions of flights a day on jet liners.

Yeah, no other human has ever lived through so much change.

Well put haha, there is like no self-reflection at all, it's like these guys are on full speed ahead forward at all times without a thought. I suppose that's what they teach in business school or whatever, or whatever mind fuck conferences those guys all go to, remember TED talks when all these assholes had so many big cool ideas? LOL, what a bunch of fucking smoke blowing out their asses, all just talk and talk and nothing good. I'm sure that's not the entire case but it sure as hell seems like it. These guys really had us fooled thinking they were smart.
