As the baby boom generation ages and their adult children mature in their careers, boomers confront the most difficult challenge — facing their own mortality. It comes as a shock to realize they may have to cede both power and control.

I’m gonna disagree with this one.

The plow, the steam engine, electricity — all replaced muscle. AI replaces cognition. If you spend your day “reading lots of stuff and turning it into straight English,” well… so does the machine. The goal now is to learn from history and cushion the blow better than last time.
