Stated simply: Ignore any philosophy or ideology that fails at universal-infinite timescales

Basically if someone is using the “current” state of the world as the comparative model for existential fulfillment then it’s not even a model, it’s a conclusion based on a point sample

In the case of this article, “Everyone should learn to code” was never correct and nor is “everyone should learn a craft”

It fundamentally overfits a narrow, highly available novel concept, rooted in the epistemology of “individual fulfillment” in the context of the current state of the world

Therefore in the implied context of the existential question “what should I do with my life?” , which is something that has been asked in every period that humans and proto-humans have lived, it’s totally ignorant to think that we can reduce it to the intersection of global transactions and individual contributions to such.

I see what you are saying, thanks for going into it. I agree that recency bias leads to adopting frameworks that are a poor overall fit for explaining ongoing (for the foreseeabel future) phenomena.
