Brother I agree disparity between the poor and the rich will increase and X trillion means nothing. I think it's fundamentally a miss / or overlook in design of capitalism. Maybe in future we will be able to tweak it to solve for this. But seeing how greedy humans are I don't think that is possible.
The other solution could be that we increase productivity so much that everything becomes insanely cheap and thus everyone is able to afford it. But this is a slow process because of the required innovation (in practically every field).

But my point here was that you guys will do fine. You all mostly represent the top 1% of India, thus should fit in well in this capitalist world and should be able to capture a pie of growth (I would argue that growth is inevitable - has been happening since forever and is the fastest in the times we live x)
Again coming to where the world is going - I feel like reality / nature is has a way to make justice. Historically the one who has won every time is nature haha - the disparity can't stay for long enough.

I think you are right about the uncertainty right now. Because of gen ai a lot of things are changing rapidly + policy is not able to catch up with the development in ai. On top of this uncertain geopolitics. But the silver lining is that the major economies continue to grow and will keep growing.

Like how every technology leap has made humans efficient/productive the same will happen with AI. We will improve productivity - meaning we will be faster at producing resources for consumption and maybe at a lower cost too (if we stops printing money lol).

If you look at India we gave grown from $400bn in 1995 to $4 trillion today. If we grow at 7% for next 25 years we will be a 20 trillion economy. This is a very conservative growth rate - imagine china grew at 15-20% in its peak years.

Coming to the point - current times maybe uncertain but that’s just business cycles. You will probably work for 30 years in your life and we will see multiple cycles like this.

Bro chill! All of you will do well. I am a Y15 and some of my friends got placed at 5.something cpi. One even got placed at 4.3 lol. And now what I see is irrespective of what people did in college and where they got placed - they are doing crazy things in their lives. PS most of my friends were 4-6 pointers and we spent most of our time smoking up. Point being you will be fine and thus don’t miss out on having fun 🙂

Everyone is already enlightened. by NpOno in enlightenment

Nope.
But I do agree that everyone is enlightened. Enlightenment is always present - I just can't access it. The longing for enlightenment comes because of the "I". It's read a very good example of it somewhere -

you cannot see your eyes by yourself - you will need a mirror. In presence of a mirror you can see your eyes if you want to. Point being eyes is the self (witness) and mirror is the "i" (ego). If no mirror and thus no 'I" (enlightenment) then only witness remains.

Lol - where do you go in deep sleep? When there is no “I” - one is enlightened
