Just
20 years ago, when the Internet in Peru began to do the transition from the
boom of internet-cafés to the slow growth of dial-up home connections, the
online journalists were few. To be (then thin) in-cloud, and that was almost a snob, unnecessary, arrogant act.
Who went following you on the net if there were few connected people? Today,
the print media are the rare ones.
I’m
not saying the ink is over. I think it will have a long life, still, but
modifying its display (3D?), and that’s the first keyword in the history of
humankind – to modify. Since we
invented the writing until we invented the first artificial intelligence
algorithm, what changed is the way how we do itbut not the purpose we have – to
stay in touch and to solve problems.
Perhaps,
what has happened in most recent times is those modifications are happening too
fast to understand (psychologist would say to mourn)and add them into our life,
but let’s accostum – things are going to modify everytime faster, and that must
not scare us because the shapes are going to change almost every minute, but
what must not change or rather improve is our essence.
Starting
from that premise and taking like an example what happened to journalism during
the last two decades, let’s consider that an adaptation factor we have in mind
is that we belief as normal or usual (especially before December 31st, 2019),
has already left to be. Independently that the Covid-19 quarantine is going
to relax soon, new cultural patterns
evolved violently, and they are going to go on among us not in remaining 2020
but long years. And the unadapted species come to extinguish.
Another
challenge we are going to assume is how to pass from the overcontrol (or
overprotection) and the uncontrol to the self-control. The extremes have been
the relevant in humankind’s history, especially in the last 500 years, and they
had its critical moment after The Illustration, 300 years ago. I don’t say they
were unnecessary. In its historical moment, they served us to go through from
hierarchies to equality, and as the coronavirus slammed us on the face with its
own anti-discrimination policy, the extremes don’t serve us anymore in this
historical moment.
Now,
if you insist in looking for a historical reference that eases to understand
the actual instant, I’d say it’s a mix of Humanism and Renaissance spiced by
the technological advance in something we call now The Knowledge Society. So I
consider to be making an arc with a moment in world’s history, 600 years
length.
We
unite defeat the virus but not priviledging social classes. Look, it’s not
communism, capitalist-socialism either. It’s something different but powerful
than forecast by Smith or Marx & Engels as well. We thank their
contribution to the discussion but their concepts are already discontinued to
us.
So,
the new world order builds based upon those criteria: adaptability, unity,
flattered & circling dialogue, urgency sense, humanity, proactivity,
creativity, and wisdom. The parties and potencies will not be already led by
countries or doctrines but the self-control capability (not self-repression)
the individual has, and how this one transcends to the community in a positive,
free, and effective way.
The
social isolation this new order imposes us doesn’t pretend we become selfishest
than we used to be (despite to have 4500 buddies on Facebook), but it’s an
opportunity to see ourselves, reconciliate with our real potential, and carry
it out for bringing it to everybody in the most original way as possible.
So,
if you ever felt you outstood as an astronomer, but they said you to crash down
if you didn’t stand onto your feet, good news: the new order gives you a
revenge chance. And as every inner world doesn’t look like anyone else, what we
will have is an almost 8-billion-possibility offer, if we get to that number.
The
age of how much you are, what it serves you for, is not longer. We are in the
age of how much you know, how you use it to
innovate. And that’s the second keyword of those time. Realise that our
need to be healthy, then not to be ill, has made the big fortunes address not
to buy luxury but looking for a cure, a treatment at least because the human,
the animal, the vegetal are not the enemy. It’s something not matching in any
of these categories. Actually, the animal and the vegetal are coming back to recover
the space offtaken by the human.
Then,
over all this new philosophy of our history, how is the humankind, its star,
going to survive? In my latest op-ed, I
helped to birth a new professional career, RPSR, that means an holistic vision for
managing the risk scenarios in a proactive, mitigating way, and it will be just
one of many evolutions (Pokémon style) we are going to attend to.
Other
fields to be assessed come innovatively re-assessed, and here we are going to
name them, warning they are not exclusive but cooperative in the context that
represents the third keyword of this new age – symbiosis, that inmediatly will outbreak a fourth one – synchretism.
- Technoprimary Production (TP)
- Generation of Integral Knowledge (GIK)
- Management of Synchrodiacrhonical Knowledge (MSK)
- Development of Informatics for Daily Life (DIDL)
- Customized Healthy Lifestyle Consultant (CHLSC)
- Promotion and Development of Creativity (PDC)
- Management of People, Resources, and Territories (MPRT)
And
what will happen to the jobs as we know today?They won’t disappear. Someones
will integrate to others, like others will follow as unique, but the common to
all them is to have the authomation like its best ally. And who be the better,
will have more market – competitiveness,
the fifth word of this new time. So, nothing will turn back to before, but waht
left to say is everything will be much better. It will depend on you, on me, on
our talent and our attitude to make it happen.
