The current culture shift toward team behavior has occurred over multiple generations.  The people in teams seem to have people who are content with their place in the team.    More significantly, they seem to be content in staying in their place indefinitely.

This trend of upsetting the normal arrangements will continue.   While this is happening there will be more shortages.  Supply chains will dwindle due to government restrictions and due to the lack of labor.  The supplies that are delivered will have inflated costs due to high demand or due to the need to pay for the higher labor costs.   The ultimate result is high inflation.

Ultimately, the modern workplace fears soloists.   They have good reason to fear them.   The soloist has power.   Like in a music concert, if the soloist can't show up, the show cannot go on with just the accompanists.  If the soloist fails, there is nothing the accompanist can do to save the show.

When a customer gets his hair cut, there is only one person doing the cutting from the start to the finish.  That cutting involves observing, analyzing, planning, and acting.   He succeeds because this is not a team effort.

The 17 year cicada's and the brood X existence might instead be a deliberate choice to send a message to all the other species that it understands evolution.  In some way, species are aware of the evolutionary pressures of other species.   They can act on this awareness to mess things up for them, but in a playful harassing way.   This creature knows how to create a bountiful feast on a schedule that does no good to any other species.

The rhythms of life and nature appear to be happening at intervals that are twice what we are using.   Our time keeping is rushing life, and for the most part, the life is not trying to keep up.   The natural rhythms often are occurring in bi-periods, or half-time.

My blood pressure may be very similar to a computer cooling fan.   It is telling me my brain is working hard on something.    Like in the second computer fan example, it may be doing something unnecessary, and something I didn't even realize would be happening.    When I see spikes in my high blood pressure, it is telling me I am thinking about something too hard.   If I don't recognize it, it might be subconscious.

The fact that we have achieved a population life expectation that is at this number provides proof that this is the right number, or a least a lower limit to what the right number should be.   I wonder whether it might have been just an accident of history.   The high life expectation was a deviation from the normal value.   Perhaps it will be inevitable that we will revert to a much lower norm.

There appears to be something like a town growing along these bike trails.  At parking lots there are appearing food trucks offering hot food.   In town, I have seen people with little trailer cart behind their bikes with a little bit of merchandise or a coffee stand.   I would not be surprised if they start to appear at the edge of the trails.   I can certainly see a potential for a kind of a roadside stop for the passing bicyclists, but served by a business that uses bikes instead of cars to stay in business.

A sabbatical is a legitimate option for career training.   This is the only time a person can learn how to fill in unstructured time.   Doing so develops skills in how to create jobs where none were defined before.     The key element of extended absences is the completely unstructured time.   Things that do need to be done can take much longer than normally would be allowed in a work setting.
