They are here to stay; they are here to change the way we do things. We moved from manual labor to industry, from human labor to robots, a long time ago, and created many new opportunities and jobs along the way. This cycle will continue until we rise to the stars above and reach other worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"f9a8\">I grew up reading sci-fi, and figuratively speaking, everything happening in the world today has been predicted, researched, and intellectually tested from all sides \u2014 the good, the bad, and the ugly. Over and over again, by authors from all parts of the world: Orwell, Clarke, the Strugatsky brothers, Asimov, Zamyatin, Dick, Lem, Liu. They, and many others, foresaw everything we\u2019re dealing with today decades, and in some cases, centuries ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"7361\">In the big scheme of things, you may be surprised at how good you actually have it when you shift your view from the personal to the broader perspective. On your best day, some had it a million times better than you, and on your worst day \u2014 which you survived \u2014 someone out there may have lost someone or worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/sachadjordjevic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dropit-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1048\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sachadjordjevic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dropit-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/sachadjordjevic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dropit-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/sachadjordjevic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dropit-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/sachadjordjevic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dropit-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/sachadjordjevic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dropit-2048x1152.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"edcc\">Maybe practice perspective thinking (or \u201cPerspective Taking\u201d). Let me quote an insightful article I read somewhere online: \u201cPerspective Taking involves making the effort to \u2018see\u2019 the world from another person\u2019s point of view. Perspective taking is a little different from empathy. Empathy is a more emotional reaction and often more automatic in nature. Perspective taking, on the other hand, requires a little more conscious effort. It is also a more cognitive process \u2014 something you have to \u2018try\u2019 to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"85d6\">Once you see things in perspective, there\u2019s almost an immediate \u201ca-ha!\u201d moment. You start thinking: hey, it\u2019s not just me \u2014 we ALL experience difficulties. I haven\u2019t been in the best place for the last 5+ years. Hell, I\u2019ve encountered and experienced some batsh*t crazy things, but I don\u2019t need to share them here where things last forever. That wouldn\u2019t help anyone. Maybe after a few drinks at a party with friends, unburden yourself with people you care for \u2014 and move on. Bad experiences are just fuel for the motivation to change things up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"cfe7\">I bet your life will immediately feel at least 1% better if you try and force yourself to find a positive angle on everything that\u2019s really bothering you right now. Sometimes that 1% is all you need to get to the other 99% and keep moving forward!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"c000\">You might try this simple exercise: look at yourself in the mirror and say these magic words that got me through more stitches than I can count \u2014 \u201cEvery day, in every way, I am getting better!\u201d I first saw this practice in a legendary Yugoslavian movie \u201cDo You Remember Dolly Bell\u201d directed by Emir Kusturica as a kid. I thought it was a joke then, and for years after, but over the last decade, I\u2019ve found some real psychological magic in those words. Magic that allowed me to step out of my head and maybe, for the first time ever, clearly see the entire field of human experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"f3e4\">C\u2019mon people, things aren\u2019t that bad. We\u2019re all still alive, and AI isn\u2019t going to kill us all (I think!). Enjoy your weekend! Go hiking!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amsterdam 2024 Industrial revolutions happen for a reason. They are here to stay; they are here to change the way we do things.
