   "Reality always trumps wishful thinking!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

   There's a reality gap.

   A gap between an understanding of how industries are changing, and how people hope it will change. A gap between what it takes to solve deep, complex issues, and how people think they can be solved. A gap between the skills needed to thrive into tomorrow, and the skills that people need. A gap between the desire to preserve the status quo, and the reality of what the quo will do. A gap between what it takes to align with fast-moving trends, and what leadership teams think they need to do to deal with those trends.

   A gap between the promises made by those who whitewash tomorrow and the reality of what will happen.

   As I've said before, some people are a captive of their denial of reality, a prisoner to their delusions, and are forever trapped in disbelief of their impending disruption. Denial happens when people are confronted by reality but perpetuate their misbelief with the most dangerous of all drugs, which is denial itself. The result of this is that those who don’t like a trend don’t just oppose the trend, they now deny the reality of the trend itself!

   But the fact remains: the ability of some people to make up their reality won’t absolve them of the consequences of their real reality - and it won't let them avoid the reality of what tomorrow will bring. This means that the uncanny ability of some to deny reality will have a huge impact on their potential success in their future reality!

   What’s the way out of this madness?

   I have no idea – of all the trends I follow, this is the one that worries me the most.

   Millennials

   For the first time in our nation's history, 30 year olds

   This is just another reason I hate these bullshit generational titles. Grouping people who were born in the 80s and the 90s under a single title? There may have been like 10 kids in my high school that had cellphones, and they were black and whtie bricks, and if they went off during class they'd get taken up. The 90s kids had the little clam shell phones, and were texting where we were just using AIM when we got home.

   The article states 50% of Millennials are earning more than their parents, but then makes an assumption it's due to government spending. It doesn't address how some kids got shit degrees, or weren't encouraged to focus on career. I personally make far more than my parents, even adjusted for inflation. But I also had to seek out opportunities to make that happen.

   As far as children/family rates .. poor people have more children than the well off. If you want to blame fertility issues on anything, it can be wealth.

   This article is way too simplistic, as well as being all over the place; terrible analysis really.

   It was Thursday May 12 and I, my fiancé', and three of our best friends were on a cruise in the Caribbean readying to land in Aruba in the morning and culminate a couple of years worth of planning into a wedding ceremony on the Natural Bridge in Aruba. Well that didn't happen.

   As is traditional, my SO and I split up the day before the ceremony so Chad was staying with R in R's cabin, and C and N were with me in mine.
