MEANING

DESIGN -- a high-concept aptitude that is difficult to outsource or automate. STORY -- high touch because stories almost always pack an emotional punch. SYMPHONY -- perhaps most important as an antidote to the variety of psychic woes brought forth by the remarkable prosperity and plentitude of our times.

EMPATHY -- sometimes we need detachment; many other times we need attunement... the people who thrive will be those who can toggle between the two. PLAY -- humor represents many aspects of the sophisticated thinking required in automated and outsourced times. MEANING -- adding the capacity for art and heart to our penchant for logic and analysis won’t be easy... few worthwhile things ever are.

The Conceptual Age is here.
