Dr. Cindi Baldi shares expert strategies to stay calm and confident in the face of uncertainty. **— YOU’LL LEARN —** 1\) How uncertainty influences us without us realizing 2\) How to power…
Cindi BaldiGuestPete MockaitisHostI understand, or at least I intuit or have heard before, that 2026 here, as we're recording, seems to have substantially more uncertainty in it than, I don't know, a decade ago, two, three, four decades ago.
I don't know that I have seen any research specifically that says it's ramped up, but like you, it seems to me anecdotally that the speed of change has, uh, just increased drastically.
And you know, I mean, for like the technological, to me, you look back historically, and we've had huge technological advancements that certainly like shifted everything underneath somebody's feet.
You know, even just like think about like the airplane, right? That shifts where you can actually go in a fundamental way that is extraordinary, and then that opens up all sorts of opportunities, and not to mention resources.
And so we've certainly had that before, but it seems like the velocity of the change has increased, and that's really what we're talking about, is that every time there's change, that creates uncertainty.
Because we don't really know how that change is gonna impact all the different elements of our life, and we're scrambling to keep up with that.
It just seems like that's the case, and then you look at AI, and we're in the middle of it, and it seems like it's gonna be as big or bigger than the internet.
Exactly, and but if there's no room for humans for jobs, just think about the impact of that.
That's like the most extreme, right? If robots are doing everything, if AI is doing everything, then our whole economic system, every economic system that we have a concept of out there, capitalism, socialism, communism, all of it doesn't work.
What, what would work with that? And I'm not saying that that's what's gonna happen, but that's probably the most extreme case in terms of uncertainty and what would happen.
And the only th- and the only thing that I can say about that is, well, we're all in the same boat.
