What's a part of your current life that your 10 year old self might not even believe is true if you travelled back in time and told them?

AI is definitely at the top of my list. I didn’t think it would have ever come sooner at my lifetime. And sorry to humblebrag, but I’m not doing too bad with my investing. I just wished I knew more about it ten years ago and I would not be stuck in a bad company!

My 10 years old self would not believe the current state of dating and distrust among people in general. Erich Fromm described it in 1952, but in Europe it arrived much later. Also the lack of attention caused by smartphone and the almost disappearance of casual conversations on the bus, the train, etc. Sometimes people is afraid of casual conversations with strangers.
