"The Wonderful New Normal" - a theory
"The Wonderful New Normal" - a theory
This theory is the positive side of the story
Not to negate the negatives
But to offer contrast to the constant doom and gloom speculations
Speculating on the positive end of the spectrum
Here's how good things are about to get....

All the points made tie in together and are observations of things already in motion
🔹1) Pandemic Allocation
This pandemic has served as a much needed wake up call for just how unprepared countries are to handle a pandemic
Proper resources and funding can now be allocated

In 25-100 years when a more lethal pandemic strikes, this less lethal one has given governments a wake up call
Without this wake up call, millions of lives would be lost in a more lethal pandemic
Proper infrastructure and preparation changes are now being made in response

🔹 2) Collective Consciousness
There's been a rise in collective consciousness
Out of routines and ruts
More time in thought. New questions, new content being viewed, new ideas explored
Especially in seasons of adversity. People seek new questions leading to growth/change

Paired with our next point, this leads to a very potent empowerment of the population
🔹 3) Gratitude
Quarantine has shifted perspectives.
Not taking friends for granted, work for granted, life for granted
Appreciation + elevated consciousness is a powerful combo

🔹4) Flagship Cities
Stores are shifting to mostly online. Closing smaller stores. The physical store funding I predict will go into flagship cities
No more highway strips with tons of stores
New mini cities with shops, restaurants, apartments, and beautiful scenery/activities

I believe these new flagship cities will become the new norm
Made extra 'beautiful' on purpose to attract people with social media friendly spots and atmosphere
Combined with elevated consciousness/appreciation these flagship cities will be very community driven

I lived in a similar community. There would be large group yoga on the grass in the middle of the shops and towns
Night-time social events and dancing. Farmers markets. Themed weeks
Less driving, more walking, more community
Which leads to our next point...

🔹 5) Industrial Habits Dissolve

Industrial Individualism is dissolving, being forced to adapt to change for our new season
We get back more to our roots of being part of a community
Survival of The Fittest and the industrial revolution mindset of crushing the competition will become obsolete over time

🔑 Key Point: All the points above coming together
We realize collaboration is how we advance as a society
I think our competitive desires are best utilized in sport, hobbies, and competition to be better as people and as communities
Competing to create, innovate and for sport

Notice influencers, they collaborate. They cross pollinate subscribers/followers. Win/Win for everyone
Win/Win is the new world. Community.
Survival of the fittest....we've graduated past this. We live in an era of THRIVING and opportunity
United we stand, divided we fall

🔹 6) A Beautiful Earth
The earth has been given a chance to breathe
If flagship cities become the new norm. Brands shift to mostly online removing the smaller stores
There will be less pollution from less stores, less driving. New flagship cities built with cleaner energy

🔹 7) Integration with Artifical Intelligence
This may be controversial but...
Workforce Layoffs = opportunity to grow
I've lost everything twice, slept on a couch, been evicted, been fired.
I say this from understanding. Not trying to downplay a rough season of adversity

What I am saying is people laid off have been shined a light of opportunity
"Our finest hours often come right after our darkest hours"
"It's only after we've lost everything we're free to do anything"
The 2 times I lost everything it forced me to ask new questions & grow

"It's only after we've lost everything we're free to do anything"
The 2 times I lost everything it forced me to ask new questions & grow
My breakthrough years came right after losing everything, because it forced me to change and grow
I feel many people are going through this and it had to happen to force us to grow
Gaining new skills, learning trades, doing more complex higher level work
Because...

If we cultivate higher level skills & collaborate
We will be far more capable than artificial intelligence and robots
They will work in collaboration with us. Doing the smaller tasks and things we don't want to do
Freeing us to do the creative/bigger picture work
