Long-term plans assume stability. Right now, stability is the one thing people can’t count on

Have you noticed that nobody talks about the future anymore?

What’s there to say when hyper-technological change is wiping out professions and industries with no rebound in sight, geopolitical relationships once thought solid now feel like exposed raw nerves, and yesterday’s acceptable behaviour is today’s offence under the banner of “social progress”? Much of the angst I see and hear around me comes from not knowing what lies ahead.

A semblance of stability no longer exists. Government, employers and social values are changing faster than anyone can plan for, with no attachment to tomorrow and plenty of exit doors in sight. Everything feels short-term. As employees are increasingly viewed as liabilities, careers have become contracts with escape plans.

Marriages used to be understood as “forever.” Now they’re treated as pending, subject to a better option coming along. For people conditioned by years of marketing to confuse wants with needs, saving for retirement now feels like something that belonged to a time of company pensions and living within one’s means.

The assumptions that once supported long-term planning have eroded, pushing people into short-term survival mode.
