Some interesting quotes from the article, /Welcome to the Failure Age.../
"The only way to harness this new age of failure is *to learn how to
bounce back* from disaster and create the societal institutions that
help us do so. *The real question is whether we're up for the challenge."*
"in a time of constant change, *it's hard for us to predict the skills
that we will need* in the future. "
"...start-ups like Uber and Kickstarter are harbingers of a much larger
shift, in which loose groupings of individuals will perform functions
that were once the domain of larger corporations. "If you had to know
one thing that will explain the next 20 years, that's the key idea: *We
are moving toward a period of decentralization*."
"...the changes will inevitably become greater, and the results will be
drastic. ... *The lives of tens of millions of people will change."
"....**many of us will be forced to experiment* with several careers,
frequently changing course as the market demands, *and not always
succeeding* in our new efforts. "
"...*Our own personal reputations will now matter more*, and they will
be far more self-made. ...*It will be harder to explain what you do for
a living* to acquaintances. *The advice of mentors*, whose wisdom is
ascribed to a passing age, *will mean less and less."

The New York Times published a long and most interesting article. I am
sure we will hear more of its author, but in the interim I heartily
recommend a good hard read. It is a little bit of a slog, but worth
every step. I think it has special relevance for anybody concerned
with Open Space either as an approach or a way of life. Or both. Have
fun. *http://nyti.ms/1v2QPR2 *
