Having a mental model of the world that is 20 or 30 years out of date is one of the worst things for your overall quality of life and safety. Yet I’d estimate 90% of the people I meet fall into that category.

Went to college and read "the world is flat" and was taught this is the future and that the future is now... Can confirm.
An outdated model is better than a completely fabricated model. But in either case you can just not be retarded.
It really depends for each topic. I want to own my games inside cartridges, I don't want to subscribe for stuff that's already on my car and I don't want to register in every store I enter. It's a grandpa mentality ? Maybe, but it's fucking based.
Idk what you get wrong specifically, but here are some things I notice people get wrong. Most people still trust legacy institutions (media, government, universities) as if it’s 1995. They’re not aligned with public good anymore. 1. The middle-class script (college → job → house → pension) is dead. The new game is assets, sovereignty, and network leverage. 2. Globalism isn’t inevitable. We’re in a live shift toward deglobalization, multipolarity, and national reshoring. 3. People underestimate AI and biotech. It’s not just job loss — it’s a full rewiring of knowledge, health, and identity. 4. Energy is the base layer of everything. Ignoring physical constraints while pushing ESG narratives is delusional. 5. The real crisis is spiritual. Meaning collapse is upstream of political/economic chaos. Most people don’t see it. 6. Institutions are not dying they are already dead and only their corpses remain.
