As a bit of a science enthusiast, though, I still think intelligence quotient has a huge role. But honestly, I think the real magic is when IQ and EQ work together.

I think you got it exactly right. We are evolving in a social and mental way. I believe young people have a much greater social and emotional intelligence, (which is more important than the intelligence quotient, my opinion) because it is in our awareness now and actively being taught. ]]></description>

While it’s true that life back then was brutal, I wonder if comparing today’s challenges to such extremes might miss the nuance of modern struggles. Today’s ‘softness’ often reflects a shift toward collaboration, mental well-being, and valuing individuality, which weren’t even options back then. Maybe we’re not softer, just evolving in a different direction.

But that&#039;s a really interesting perspective, Joseph.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Recently, l have been down the rabbit hole of genealogy. While looking at the time period of my relatives from the 15th century, I wondered what the political climate was like for them, which led me to follow the history of royal families back to the 9th century. Compared to those royal families, we are soft. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f60a.png" alt="😊" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> If they wanted something from someone else, they bullied them, enslaved them, or murdered them, including parents and siblings. I wonder if it was the same for the general population. From that perspective, being softer is a good thing.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This is a well needed post. In the words of Elon Musk, &quot;as civilizations advance, they become prone to hedonism.&quot; You talked about pleasure over indulgence, which is actually what&#039;s making people lazy and stuck. I think we should consider applying the lessons of older generations because with everything going on, the younger generation is self-destructive, screens, social media, virtual reality, and the rise of AI is what&#039;s really being used as a weapon to destroy us. When I look at what had already happened in the early 90s, nothing much has improved to say...it&#039;s just that they&#039;ve advanced it to the point we can&#039;t have a healthy relationship with the tech. 

All I can say is that it&#039;s worse to defend ourselves by thinking of each generation blames the next. It&#039;s true that things aren&#039;t okay. Let&#039;s not fall into traps. It was a profound and reflective post, glad I was here.]]></description>

I see what you mean about the influence of destructive leadership. And I think maybe it’s about adapting to the world we’re in rather than being shaped solely by it. I really appreciate hearing your take on it.]]></description>

Always a pleasure Ritish. You have become a brother to me and as brothers, we have to help each other. This is like business, when you get a client, do everything to support and help the client so that the business makes a profit and succeeds. 

I will continue to read and support your blogs my brother as long as I am alive plus when I have data or the internet(Wi-Fi) <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f4af.png" alt="💯" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />]]></description>
