The Age Of Intelligence
Use It Or Lose It
It’s no secret that we are entering into an age of intelligence. An age that will be dominated, and ultimately led by intelligence. Not only will the world be governed by intelligence, including AI, but an age in which intelligence will become the greatest commodity on earth. I say this about technology, but also about those who have schooled themselves in the art and application of intelligence.
The once-successful business and wealth-generative models are slowly falling away. I say falling away because, in relation to past results, these models are seriously underperforming. On top of that, there is inflation, which is eating away at all levels of profitability… and if that wasn’t bad enough, technology is forcing many business models into a state of absolute redundancy. Yes, the slow demise is in motion.
Legacy models will either become completely redundant, or they will adopt blockchain and AI-based models. This is something that I, and many others, have been warning about for quite some time now. Legacy models that survive will ultimately become hybrid models, powered by blockchain and AI. There is no escaping this revolution, so to speak. It’s happening, and it will continue to escalate over time.
An escalation that will ultimately lead to a world governed and empowered by intelligence. As an individual living through this transition, you will either be leveraged by the system, or you will utilize intelligence (gained through knowledge) to subjugate and harness the powers of AI and other “intelligence” models. Wealth is changing. Wealth without intelligence in the future will become worthless.
Essentially, the age of intelligence not only applies to an age governed by technology but an age in which the intelligent will rule. What am I saying? Quite simply, in terms of hierarchical structuring, intelligence, knowledge, and skill are about to dethrone wealth. The possession of these attributes will ultimately lead to wealth… and those who are wealthy and yet lack intelligence will eventually become impoverished.
This shift is far greater than many realize, even for those who have foreseen its arrival. Fast forward a decade, and you will most likely gaze upon an unrecognizable world. I believe that once cash is gone, there will be an enormous acceleration. This will largely be driven by need. Necessity is the mother of invention… and a cashless world will require innovation, especially in its formative years.
There will however be a handful of industries that will be able to avoid this transition, but not indefinitely. Certain industries are inherently more resilient, due to the nature of their business activities. However, advancement will eventually stifle those who do not adjust. Either businesses adjust or get sidelined. How long this “grace” period will be is difficult to say, especially in these formative years.
An Uncomfortable Reality
A lot of people choose to ignore Crypto and technology. However, some things in life are unavoidable. For now, It’s an option, but not for long. The more astute realize they will eventually have to make use of this technology, and so choose to profit from its rise in dominance and appreciation in value. The fool watches the procession pass by, not realizing that eventually, he will have to join the line.
Those who are at the back of the line will benefit the least. This is precisely why BlackRock and other financial behemoths have been outspoken regarding Crypto for years. They used the negative press they generated as a means to lengthen the timeframe, to better position themselves. Now that they are well positioned, they have turned a complete 180 and are calling for the tokenization of financial assets.
The following quote by BlackRock CEO, Larry Fink says it all:
We do believe that if we can create more tokenization of assets and securities – that’s what bitcoin is – it could revolutionize finance.
Compare that to what Fink said years ago. His statements are worlds apart. If you are still sleeping, it’s time to wake up! BlackRock is the largest money manager in the world with approximately $10 trillion under management.
Final Thoughts
There’s no turning back now. Even though I foresaw this happening almost 9 years ago, it’s still a little surreal watching it unfold. The hour has arrived… slowly then suddenly. Are you positioned? Are you ready? Are you knowledgeable, or will the greatest event in modern history pass you by? What an exciting time to be alive! See you next time!
