The Industrial Revolution came and changed the face of reality. When steam engines were created, which facilitated the manufacturing of huge machines, Farmers who didn’t evolve mentally, physically and consciously did not survive the shift and would lose everything due to their reluctance. We currently are going through another industrial revolution only this time; it’s a technological revolution. A.I. and automation are inevitably set to take over the bulk of humanities processing legwork. What I mean by this, is that the big machines which where created during the last industrial revolution needed crews of men to maintain and operate. Though almost hundreds of years later, the technology is destined to automate itself; freeing humans up to explore their planet and neighbors’ cultures.

Story time:Work.Purpose.Homelessness

I once had a conversation with a psychology mentor where we discussed mental health and the millennial reluctance to work.

She was arguing that the fact they did not want to work in the current environment (circa 2010) that they were liable to be showing symptoms of mental health problems.

I was arguing that: It wasn’t that millennial didn’t want to work, it was that they did not want to support a matrix and/or social structure that did not have accountability or regard for sustainable efforts.

We agreed that under Solomon Principle; to live is to work. Yet one wants to work for something that is contributing or sustaining the greater good or else one feels empty and non-aligned with their “millennial” soul/purpose.

Keep in mind that it this point in history; the financial economy had tanked once and for all and the intellectual class was hip to the fact that segments of the fed were rigged. Having said that; many millennials were dropping out of corporate America and investing their time and money into emerging markets which aligned with their 21st century vision of society (sustainability, justice, resourced based economies etc.)

So as it turns out, a lot of the homeless in the 21st century, are non-entrepreneurs who don’t agree with the systemic paradigm and its non consideration for sustainable efforts.

If they system can catch up with the consciousness of the youth, zoomers and millennials; it can begin to solve the homeless problem; by realizing that these people want and need purpose and our job is to create the sociological structures and insitutiitions that foster this.
