I think the next big field of disruption will be social. Tech and finance are already dealing with their disruptions and their growing by the minute.
It's easy to see how tech will disrupt our socioeconomic status or modus operandi. But I'm seeing something else growing beneath the surface, social disruption on a conscious level. For me personally I look at social media influencers with a certain amount of contempt. Because like most things at their peak or rise it's being capitalized on and twisted. I just see people wanting to make money by telling people what to buy. Technically there's nothing wrong with that done in a conscious and ethical way with an emphasis on content and value. But let's be honest, that's not what's making the front pages.
When I think about social disrupters , I think about people changing the way you think , what you think, what you feel. It's a shift in paradigm. An epiphany, a mini awakening and step forwards/ upwards on the ladder of enlightenment or consciousness. People like Gary vee, Jay Shetty, Tom Bilyue, Jose Silva, Zero Foxtrot, Ido Portal, Wim hof. Each one of them sort of tackling another space but with the same inherent values and principles.
Most of my writing is based on that same aspect. Give you the enriching of changing the paradigm. It's an enforcement for myself, a visible anchor to walk the talk. Enrichment without capital gain and without hidden agenda. You know I'm trying to convey something. Mainly the concepts of totality and freedom, mediated through action. These people are gaining a lot more traction. There's a lot of “hidden” unrest in the world. Not just the western world, we feel the pain of the rest though. That unrest manifests in different forms, depression, suicide, anxiousness, boredom, vandalism, substance abuse, escapism. The industrial system has brought us many luxuries, but has robbed off probably as much as it gave us. Now with technology coming to a point where we can free people from an industrial way of living. A way where everyone can act on their dreams,goals, bliss. I don't believe that everyone wants to be part of the herd. I know plenty of people who have some amazing ambitions and that will see them to light. I also know people with aspiring ambitions that won't go the distance with them. For various reasons. That in my eyes is true killer of the 21st century. The system is killing people that might advance our species. That's what largely gives our lives meaning, the betterment of mankind. And that's the disruption that's coming, a betterment of our species and a fulfillment of our human potential.
Although I point at the obvious of technology the human psychology part of the people that disrupt the way you think is much more obscure. It's not a straight away thing, it's seeds. And repetition of the message is what nurtures that seed. Until that sprout gathers enough strength to burst through the soil. I feel like it's our duty to point people to the things they are “missing”. Not missing as much as uncovered, unnurtured, undressed. The final part in that equation is the necessary suffering to get yourself and others there. Whatever form that takes. Which is the element that most people falter at, seemingly. It's not an insurmountable barrier, obviously. Or others wouldn't be able to surpass it. But I acknowledge that when you come to realization of that you're gonna have to do things that go against the current system, you might fall short. Plenty of the people mentioned above were considered outliers , perhaps even weirdos. It doesn't have to be like that. The few that succeed are the ones that will help elevate us. Should we chose to take their hand and leave the conventional behind. The humane aspect of our existence needs to be addressed again. Our need for tribes/community, our needs for values and virtues, our need for connection with nature, our need to understand ourselves, our physiology and the universe around us. It's becoming more permanent in media presence, because of it's obvious lack in our cultures and in ourselves. I leave the possibility open that I'm wrong. Observe and see for yourself.
