The people who tell you to see a "fast-paced, changing, uncertain, dynamic, global, unpredictable world" as a good thing - and seek to create change and dynamism where there was staid certainty - are usually the ones getting rich from the changes and the collapse of old certainties. This is obvious.
By getting rich, though, they are in fact reducing change and uncertainty for themselves and their families. So they don't really believe that change, uncertainty, dynamism and unpredictability are good things. Like most people, they crave stability. And they will take yours away to get more for themselves and their kids.
Next time they start bullshitting about the virtues of change, uncertainty and dynamism, shove this canapé in their greedy mouths.
