The advent of AI will force young workers to train in multiple disciplines - or jobs - so they can earn money if and when AI takes over their current job.

I see "indexing" as a societal response to extreme capitalism. It is a communal response to the fact that industry has the absolute right to pull out the floor from under us.

The best response to the mediocrity that indexing often produces does not lie in the opportunism described in your final graph. It lies in raising the ideals of society at large by:

1. teaching ethics starting in pre-school

2. encouraging youth to plan for life-long education, rather than work, work, work, then retire

3. establishing a new economic bill or rights that that does away with the old worker/industry compacts that no longer apply, and clears the way for both capital and workers to achieve whatever it is that they want.

In short, we need a new economic world order: one that tames extreme capitalism and makes room life-long education.
