Generation Z -- are you ready to clean up the mess?
Millenials and baby boomers are going to leave you with a huge mess. Below are some statements, not facts. You can ignore them or you can take some time to think about what it means. Each statement isn't necessarily that powerful by itself, but when you put them together...

47% of jobs will be automated by 2034 (The Economist).
Less jobs, more people, even worse income inequality...
Key resources will only become more scarce and/or more unevenly distributed...UNLESS
You have the resiliency, creativity, wisdom, and courage to ask the right questions, challenge assumptions, learn, and collaborate at levels we haven't even imagined.
