A few centuries ago, humans in occidental countries were below what we'd consider today extreme poverty. Therefore their main concern was to survive one more day, to have some food and shelter. On [[Maslow's Pyramid]] these needs belongs to the first couple steps: physiological and safety. Currently, we're in a war for the next two levels: belonging and esteem. Most our hot topics nowadays match this pyramidal pattern. - 10% spotlight on safety (AI risk management, ecology) - 80% spotlight on Love, Belonging and Esteem (Feminism, Masculinity, LGBT) - 10% spotlight on Self-Actualization (personal development, purpose) According to [[Principe 80-20]], we should focus less on love, belonging and esteem needs and more on safety and self-actualization? In the future, the risk is to highly neglect Safety (existential risk), to lose sight of love, belonging and esteem, while overthinking the self-development & purpose side, which could lead to overoptimization. ![[Yesterday vs Today vs Tomorrow]]
