This chapter discusses the displacement of jobs in the next 10 years and questions whether there are enough free thinkers in society to create new industries. It reflects on the past when there were more free thinkers and entrepreneurs who saw opportunities. The chapter also explores the effects of social media and online platforms on free thinking and the need for balance in engaging with technology.
