Lesson #1 — We Must Learn To Live With Uncertainty

Lesson #2 — Become More Relisient And More Antifragile

“What does not kill me makes me stronger” — Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols

“Antifragility is beyond resilience or robustness. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better.” — Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder

Lesson #3 — Bear In Mind That Is A Tech World

“It’s big tech’s world. We just live in it. The dominance of big tech is not a surprise ... Often, those observations came with a caveat: what goes up must come down. The rapid rise of these companies must mean that there’s froth in their stock price, and that when the music stopped, they would come down just as fast as they rose. Nope. As with so much else, the pandemic has taken this trend — the increasing dominance of our lives and economy by just a few tech companies — and accelerated it ten years. In no small part that’s because of the dynamics I identified: the market is rewarding winners like never before. But the winners in big tech are being rewarded to an even greater degree because their advantages are even greater. This is most true with respect to the Four.” — Scott Galloway, Post Corona.

“Post corona, the benefits of increased flexibility that come with remote work alternatives will flow to the already well off … Working from home can mean a lot of different things. Senior people with big houses in the suburbs have dedicated office rooms and equipment, many have even worked out full-time childcare, or their kids are old enough they don’t need constant supervision. Junior people, on the other hand, are more likely to live in cramped apartments and starter homes that don’t have dedicated workspaces.
Those frustrations spell opportunity, however. The same tech that enables working from home also enables working from satellite and temporary offices.” — Scott Galloway, Post Corona.
