Writing this in 2026, I can say:
“Another year, another World Economic Forum conference.”
Because this meetup in Davos is taking place on the day this is posted.

But a decade from now, I have no idea what world you are in.
You could be reading these stories in the printed form of a book, or you could be my cave buddy and you’re helping me out with the clay tablets.
Focused on the work of leaving some mark of civilization behind.

But whatever our different living situations might be, what we probably share is that our lives are like children’s.
All important decisions are made without us, being told just enough simplistic Sunday school versions of the truth, to be informed.
At least, technically.

Yet even that layer is one we should cherish, because it is directly linked to media providing at least some form of accountability.

In Europe, international power structures have been in place for thousands of years.
Yet the people were not informed, not educated, pitted against one another and weaponized to do the dirty work. 
We are not in a good situation, but at least this day and age we know who’s coming for us.

It reminds me of this ancient story, about a land worker who sees the king being carried around, and wishes he were the king.
And the story is much longer than I remember, but it ends of course in the king looking at the worker and wishing he were them.
Relieved of the constant worry and responsibility.

So maybe whatever our times, or however our situation, the work is the same.
The work right in front of you.
It’s the everyday things.

Perhaps the wisdom for the ages is to focus on the work that has been given to you.
Nothing more, yet certainly nothing less.

about this series

That ONE Book is the book I always think I own, until I realize it has not been written yet. So in December 2025 I started writing it myself.
I’m going for writing 365 chapters over the course of 9 years, and then bring it to print.
You can read all posts in this series here.
