[EP.10] The AI Age Promises Prosperity. Just Not for Us. Survival Questions for Workers in Their 40s & 50s in the AI Era · Series Episode 10 They call it the Singularity. AI is coming, they say. The Singularity. Another word for revolution. Just like the Industrial Revolution. The AI Revolution is on its way. Famous voices say: "A world where money is no longer necessary is coming." "An era where no one needs to work is coming." Sounds good. I want to believe it too. ··· But then why are we so anxious? Something from history class comes to mind. The age of revolution. What I vaguely remember: Unemployment. Riots. People flooding the streets. Machines arriving. Factories rising. The world changing. And the ones who were shaken the most were always the people living through it. Will the AI age be any different? Let's look at how past revolutions actually unfolded — and what they meant for the people living through them....

The 9 Harsh Truths About Work

 



1. Why do hard workers end up being taken advantage of?

Because the better you work, the more work you get.

2. The moment you bring work stress home…

Your family starts reading your face instead of relaxing with you.

3. “I thought changing jobs would fix everything…”

But every company has its own villains. They just come in different shapes.

4. Promotion?

It’s not based on how hard you work.

It’s 70% capability and 30% relationships — sometimes the opposite.

5. “Is the company using me?”

Of course it is.

The company is not your family. It’s a business.

6. Using emotions at work?

You will be the first one to burn out.

Leave emotions at home.

Once you stop pouring emotions into work, you finally get your life back after clock-out.

7. Why do underperformers survive longer?

Because they have no emotional investment.

People with lighter hearts last longer.

8. That money you “earned”…

It was actually the CEO who earned it by hiring you well.

And most of that money will never come to you.

9. Why does the company prefer nice words over truth?

People who speak the truth eventually leave.

People who say what others want to hear remain.

And those people become your bosses.

Will I get faster just by running in Zone 2 ?

Does Zone 2 Running Make You Faster? Zone 2 running alone will not dramatically increase your pace. However, it does steadily improve your endurance — your ability to run longer without fatigue. Today, I’ll summarize the core ideas of Zone 2 training explained by the YouTube channel Running Behind . Why You Should Train in Zone 2 If you're new to running, Zone 2 training is the best place to start. Pushing too hard early makes running feel burdensome — and eventually leads to quitting. Even slow running has powerful effects: increased mitochondrial density, more capillaries, heightened oxidative enzymes, and improved fat utilization. In short, Zone 2 turns your body into a more efficient “engine” built for endurance running. Understanding Zone 2 & Heart Rate Myths Many people say: “My heart rate shoots over 160 even when I jog…” Training zones (Zone 1–5) are simply a guideline. Zone 2 is often marked as 60–70% of max HR, but that’s only a loose ...

Why I Went From Running to Marathon _My Body Endured, So I Started Enduring Life

Image
    “At the end of the day, running is running. So what makes a marathon any different?” That’s what I used to think. Usually, running up to 10km is just “running,” 10–20km is “training toward a marathon,” and completing your first full marathon makes you a “beginner marathoner.” I’m somewhere around that level. But while preparing for a full marathon, I realized something: The difference between running and a marathon isn’t just the distance.   I. Starting to Run In my early thirties, I barely took care of my health. Even brushing my skin lightly would cause redness, I felt exhausted no matter how much I slept on weekends, And colds lingered for more than two months. So I decided to start exercising. I began by jogging around my kids’ schoolyard.   II. Running 3km On winter nights, I used to “pretend to run” while circling a dark track. After about three weeks, the cold that bothered me every night completely disap...

  Seonyudo & Gunsan Travel Journal Climbing Daejangbong Peak, Walking Along the Beaches, and Wandering Through Gunsan’s Old Streets   “Gunsan takes two hours, but Seonyudo is almost three.” “Really? We should have left earlier. There’s more to see in Gunsan than just Seonyudo.” “Let’s drive to the far end of the island first, explore in order, and then head downtown.”   1) At the End of Seonyudo Road — Jangjado Public Parking Lot After crossing the Saemangeum seawall and driving to the island’s end, the road simply stopped. Right beside the public parking area, a tourist information center helped me plan the route: Daejangbong Peak → Seonyudo Beach → Handmade burger café (BTS spot) → Okdol Beach . 2) Daejangbong Peak — Seonyudo’s Iconic View Search “Seonyudo” and you’ll see it everywhere: the rocky silhouette of Daejangbong . From the observatory, descending toward the stairs reveals a slanted rock ledge—great for that one signature ...
