Do you fear change?
Do you look forward to change?
Do you need routine and predictability?
Do you need adventure?

Sometimes a change can be very inconvenient and my immense concern around change is the sheer pace of it when contrasted against the bubble of convenience we all live in. I see my country being torn to pieces and the only remedy is to either slow down the pace of change or prop up the bubble of convenience further.
Populists will take us back to the caves before we complete the fourth industrial revolution unless society finds a way of bringing stability to peoples lives. And I see two options to achieve this - universal basic income and luddite autocracy. Free money and an increasingly automated society of less serious and more fun jobs, or an austere society of primitive vital work under a Putin or Trump.

And all in all it's a clash between rationality and morality. Universal basic income is the rational advanced choice but I know I'll hate the people it produces no less than our ancestors would feel ashamed over how we live today. Morally I fear the total dickheads who will grow out of this superior quality of life, I have some sympathy for the bleaker world a Trumpian future represents.

I fear making a better life for our kids because they'll get used to it and then the moment they don't get their own way they'll run to the arms of a mobster. We're so so so much better off today than we were 100 years ago, and yet everybody today is a victim. Why? What is it about progress that degenerates people?
In the olden days we'd go to war and that would be our collective coming down to earth. War isn't really an option anymore but war is the great humbling which makes people appreciate and achieve social progress imo. The individual must have his comfort zone torn to pieces from time to time or he will stagnate, only those who have gone through a great struggle actually create a better life for their kids. The generation which never had it so good will actually take us backwards.

I fear baby boomers mk II. If we start giving people free money and jobs that are so good they're barely a job at all we'll create baby boomers mk II, and hell follows with them.
When people get older they don't like change. Just ask the seniors who have to look for their products in a CVS or Walgreens after they have changed their store lay out. It's easier to walk up to the product knowing that it going to be there instead of having to waste time looking around to where they moved it:

Yep. They want people to spend more time walking around, see more, spend more
One2note: I can't recall anyone dying of an overdose of healthy salads , or veg!
Can lead to anorexia
Diets are fads yes you can deprive your body and lose weight but as soon as you go back to eating what you were before you end up larger than ever before.
I eat four to six portioned meals a day with protein shakes fruit and nuts inbetween
