AI won’t make most human skills obsolete—but it will change how they’re used.
Negotiation, leadership, and problem solving may become even more important as AI changes how work gets done. The question now is which skills matter most next. mck.co/4e6MPID.
#Megatrends happen and will happen.
Gutenberg invented the most important technology of the millennium and immediately went bankrupt — and so did the bank that foreclosed on him, and so did his apprentices.
Gutenberg could make a batch of 300 books for the cost of one, but there weren't enough buyers in his small, landlocked village in Germany.
It it took the better part of a century of further innovations, social changes, and setting up of distribution networks before you could have a pamphlet like Luther's 95 thesis get from Wittenberg to London in 17 days.
The #Robotics revolution continues, powered by advancing #AI, improved #3D printing, an unstable #Megatrend of technological advancement; Darwin’s Theory of Evolution and Moore’s Law need more contemplation.

On Kindness, Inspired by Seneca
I. The Nature of Kindness
Kindness is not a weakness but a strength, a force that binds humanity together in harmony. Just as anger distorts reason and leads men astray, kindness aligns us with our true nature—rational, social beings. It is the virtue that allows us to endure one another’s faults, to uplift the suffering, and to extend goodwill even to those who least deserve it.
If anger is a fire that consumes, kindness is a light that guides. The former isolates, the latter unites. Those who master kindness wield a power far greater than those who rule by fear or force, for kindness commands not through coercion but through love and admiration.
II. The Causes of Unkindness and How to Overcome Them
Just as men are often provoked to anger by their mistaken judgments, so too are they deterred from kindness by illusions. Some believe that kindness diminishes their authority, that generosity makes them weak, or that by withholding goodwill they safeguard themselves from harm. But these are falsehoods.
A ruler who governs with cruelty may compel obedience, but he will never inspire loyalty. A man who hoards his kindness out of fear of being taken advantage of is like one who refuses to light a lamp in the night for fear it will be extinguished. He remains in darkness, robbing both himself and others of the light.
To cultivate kindness, we must first recognize that our fellow men are fallible—just as we are. If we excuse our own faults and demand patience from others, why should we not extend the same generosity? The wise man does not ask whether a person deserves kindness; he offers it because kindness is his nature, just as the sun does not ask whether the earth is worthy of its warmth but shines upon it regardless.
III. The Power of Kindness in Governance and Daily Life
A ruler who tempers justice with kindness is far greater than one who rules by punishment alone. Laws can restrain actions, but only kindness reforms the soul. A father disciplines his child, not out of wrath, but out of care, and he does so with patience rather than cruelty. Should we not treat our fellow citizens with the same grace?
Kindness is also the foundation of friendships, of family, of all human bonds. It costs nothing to offer a word of encouragement, to forgive an offense, or to extend a helping hand. And yet, these simple acts have the power to heal wounds, to soften hardened hearts, and to bring peace where there was once discord.
IV. Kindness as the Mark of the Wise Man
The wise man does not wait for the world to be kind to him; he initiates kindness, knowing that to give freely is its own reward. He does not offer kindness only to those who will repay him, for that is not kindness but a bargain. Instead, he bestows it upon friend and foe alike, knowing that even if it does not change the recipient, it perfects the giver.
He understands that the greatest kindness is not always grand or public. Sometimes, it is the quiet patience with which we endure another’s shortcomings, the silent forgiveness of a past wrong, or the unnoticed generosity of a small gesture. These acts, though small, shape the world.
V. The Ultimate Triumph of Kindness
Men seek power, wealth, and conquest, yet none of these bring lasting happiness. But kindness, once given, never fades. A kingdom won by force must be maintained by fear, but a heart won by kindness is held forever.
Let us then choose to be kind, not because it is always deserved, but because it is always right. If anger is a sickness of the soul, then kindness is its cure. In practicing kindness, we are not merely better to others—we are better to ourselves. For the man who is kind is free of resentment, untouched by bitterness, and always in the company of virtue.
Thus, let us make kindness our habit, our duty, and our joy—for in it, we find true strength.
