Digital Humanity – The End of Learn First/Do Later
- The biggest obstacle to your future isn't what you don't
know. It's what you won't forget. We talk a lot about Upskilling, but we rarely
talk about The Unlearning Syndrome.
- We are facing an "Unlearning Syndrome." The
winners of 2026 won't just be the ones adding new skills; they will be the ones
brave enough to delete the old ones.
Curiosity and courage are the only way forward.
How can Reskill/Upskill be achieved?
The rate of change of information is accelerating like a
hyperbolic curve. Even observing or detecting the phenomena is representing a
challenge. Yet not only the raw data need to be captured it has to be
processed. Intelligence has to be extracted from what may appear to be
gibberish. Entirety of the moment may have to take place at an instant. If not
reacted in a matter of time, crucial accomplishments may be missed out. Whereas
a new modernism may have stumbled upon. It will be very ambitious and demanding
to trace back what has been missed.
Pursuing the past and repeating the carbon copy
miscalculation will certainly drive apprehension. As a result key competitors
will lead the course leaving others behind.
How can this be, even possible? Inbound data traffic is so
vast and boundless, there may be no abundant duration for analysis. Trying to
understand the endless colossal content certainly necessitates guidance, cooperation
and advice from the dearest of all the AI.
Therefore is it still valid to invest to learning first?
Allocating precious intellectual capital to preparation and refinement may not
contribute to competency reskilling.
On the other hand reaching to a snap conclusion will demand a tremendous upskilling.
Do later, sounds
perfect within traditional backgrounds of conducting businesses. Provided that
it is done right at the first round. Not to forget doing the right things play
a critical role within this perspective. That sounds great and conserving
frugality represents corporate determinism.
However due to the rapid fluctuations surrounding
transformation Do Now movement is
gathering pace. Accumulation of knowledge for quick response is easier said
than done. Without cutting corners, acquiring proficiency and gaining dexterity
is like from driving a regular car to promoting to a formula1 pilot. Readiness
to graph and evaluate should be handled with decisive care and extensive
trails. Reacting imminently while holding ones breath and wishing the best
could be the initial behaviour. Every instance counts towards unspringing
barricades, like sailing against the wind.
Thus plunging into lessons learned from every circumstance
will enable expertise elevation from Agnostic
to Savvy in no time.
Out of all that the take could be redesigning the learning
system from scratch. Geared to, understanding fast-approaching judgement conception,
modern education should be rejuvenated.
Embracing tools to facilitate Reskilling/Upskilling will provide the means to augment
capabilities. Achievement would than be possible with a holistic concept to
advancement.
Before we finish let me highlight a hazardous sensitivity
situated right in front of our eyes as a hurdle. It is termed as the Unlearning Syndrome. This invisible
obstacle interferes with the culture paradigm progress like a stumbling block.
Commonly customary, routinely practised it is the resistance to dismiss
previous practises that are no longer valid in the new era. Preceding the Paradigm
Shift it is recommended to rapidly lose the sight of earlier custom habits.
With an analogy to astrophysics, this can be paraphrased as,
over coming the gravitational pull and wandering off to unaccustomed frontiers.
Curiosity and courage will sure lead the way to digital
humanity.
All the best for 2026. Unlearn, Reskill, Upskill.
