É O INSTINTO ESTRATÉGICO DOS JOVENS?





Por que pergunto isso? É porque alguma coisa invisível está acontecendo
no mundo e na sociedade que escapa ao processo lógico e aponta ser do campo da percepção
humana, da intuição, do sentimento e do instinto daqueles que começam a enfrentar um futuro incerto.



Nem sempre o comportamento dos jovens é compreendido pelo mais velhos.
Aliás, quase nunca o que é percebido pela vibe dos jovens é compreendido pelos
mais velhos e décadas mais tarde a sociedade reconhece o fenômeno como um marco
de mudança que deveria ter sido percebido por muitos.



Exemplos não faltam sobre o comportamento dos jovens do passado que
criava a oportunidade de ruptura dos valores predominantes anteriores. Mas é
muito mais interessante e promissor aceitar e explorar o que os novos
comportamentos podem significar. O que estariam refletindo hoje?



Uma das facetas interessantes é que há alguns anos, vem se tornando cada
vez mais frequente jovens que buscam múltiplas formações. Alguns fazem 2 cursos
superiores ao mesmo tempo, outros fazem 2 ou 3 curso em sequência, preferindo
ampliar o conhecimento ao invés de aprofundar.


É como se buscassem ter várias formações para sempre ter múltiplas
escolhas na vida. Mas e se aceitarmos que os jovens estão “sentindo” algo que
não é visível e nem explicável sobre o futuro? Você acha que é muita
imaginação?

Recentemente soube de um colega de infância do meu filho, que depois de cursar Matemática num dos cursos superiores mais respeitados no Brasil, foi trabalhar no exterior com tecnologia computacional numa das grandes empresas nos EUA e hoje está cursando Medicina na USP em São Paulo. Ele percebeu um potencial futuro de oportunidades inéditas combinando o seu conhecimento de informática com o cérebro humano.

Num outro caso interessante, a filha de um amigo foi contratada recentemente por uma das grandes marcas de automóveis na Alemanha como designer. Sua experiência? Design de produtos na indústria automobilística. Sua formação? Design de Moda! Não é só uma trajetória linear que proporciona oportunidades de carreira para ps jovens.



Quem poderia assegurar o futuro de qualquer profissão para um
horizonte de 10 ou 20 anos? Ou mais ainda, para um horizonte de 30 ou 40 anos? O que será o trabalho no futuro, o que será a previdência no futuro, o
que será a vida no futuro? Já sabemos que a vida será mais longa...



Neste cenário, as antenas mais sintonizadas dos jovens podem estar
provocando uma inquietude e uma ansiedade profunda nos jovens como nunca vistos
no passado. Sim, é fato que a proporção de jovens que hoje&nbsp; somatizam estas angústias é muito mais
numerosa que em outras épocas.



Mas se ao invés de tentar explicar o fenômeno através das referencias
tradicionais, uma vez que estas não tem sido efetivas para o objetivo,
imaginarmos que o prenúncio de mudanças dramáticas na sociedade são melhor
captadas pelos jovens. Mesmo sem poder explicar, que tal pensarmos que o
instinto de sobrevivência da humanidade está se manifestando nos indivíduos
mais jovens com sinais de alerta que já não interessam e não são percebidos
pelos mais velhos?



Creio que com o cenário atual dá sinais de perigo para quem vai
enfrentar a vida ao longo dos próximos 50 a 100 anos. O instinto levaria à
busca de um porto seguro, como alguns jovens estão buscando em empregos seguros
como os concursos públicos? O instinto levaria à busca de “equipar-se” melhor
com conhecimento de diversas áreas? O instinto levaria à desconfiança dos
modelos organizacionais do passado, gerando preferência por um modo de vida
individual e independente? O instinto levaria a uma sociedade mais colaborativa
e compartilhada na busca de segurança através da coletividade? O instinto
levaria à preservação do meio ambiente e dos recursos naturais? Creio que todas estas alternativas são válidas e já são atuais...



Pode ser que o ser humano seja mais estratégico no seu instinto do que
imaginamos. Aliás, mesmo sem compreensão de todos os fatos através de
evidências, é papel do lado estrategista do instinto, elaborar saídas para novas situações.



Quem sabe seja mais apropriado refletir se aqueles que nos parecem um
tanto “perdidos” não são os que estão respondendo melhor às mudanças em processo no
mundo? 



Começo a imaginar se não estamos vendo os primeiros sinais de
importantes mudanças ainda em formação. Começo a pensar se mais uma vez não
estaríamos negligenciando a percepção avançada dos jovens e correndo o risco de
ficarmos no passado por apatia, passividade e comodidade.



É melhor prestar mais atenção...

IS IT THE STRATEGIC INSTINCT OF YOUNG PEOPLE?


Why do I ask this? It is because something invisible is happening in the world and in the society that escapes the logical process and points out to be the field of human perception, intuition, feeling and intuition of those who begin to face an uncertain future.

Young people's behavior is not always understood by the elders. In fact, almost never what is perceived by the vibe of the young is understood by the elders and decades later the society recognizes the phenomenon as a mark of change that should have been perceived by many.

Examples are not short on the behavior of the youth of the past that created the opportunity to break the previous predominant values. But it is much more interesting and promising to accept and explore what new behaviors can mean. What would you be reflecting on today?

One of the interesting facets is that a few years ago, it has become increasingly frequent young people in Brazil seeking multiple education. Some do 2 university courses at the same time, others do 2 or 3 courses in sequence, preferring to expand knowledge rather than deepen it.

It's as if they have several formations to always have multiple choices in life. But what if we accept that young people are "feeling" something that is neither visible nor explicable about the future? Do you think it's too much imagination?

I recently learned about my son's childhood colleague, who after attending Mathematics in one of the most respected courses in Brazil, went to work abroad with computer technology in one of the big companies in the USA and is currently studying Medicine at USP in São Paulo. He realized a potential future of unprecedented opportunities by combining his computer knowledge with the human brain.

In another interesting case, the daughter of a friend was recently hired by one of the major car brands in Germany as a designer. Her experience? Product design in the automotive industry. Her background? Fashion design! It is not just a linear trajectory that provides career opportunities for young people.

Who could secure the future of any profession for a horizon of 10 or 20 years? Or even more, for a horizon of 30 or 40 years? What will work in the future, what will be retirement plan in the future, what will life be in the future? We already know that life will be longer ...

In this scenario, the better tuned antennas of young people may be causing restlessness and deep anxiety in young people like never seen in the past. Yes, it is a fact that the proportion of young people who today somatizes these anxieties is much more frequently than in other times.

But if instead of trying to explain the phenomenon through traditional references, since these have not been effective for the purpose, imagine that the harbinger of dramatic changes in society are better captured by the young. Even without being able to explain, how about we think that humanity's instinct for survival is manifesting in younger individuals with warning signs that no longer interest and are not perceived by the elders?

I believe that the current scenario gives signs of danger to those who will face life over the next 50 to 100 years. The instinct would lead to the search for a safe haven. So is it why some young people are looking for safe jobs like public jobs? Would instinct lead to the search for better "equipping" with knowledge of different areas? Would instinct lead to distrust of the organizational models of the past, generating preference for an individual and independent way of life? Would instinct lead to a more collaborative and shared society in the pursuit of security through collectivity? Would instinct lead to the preservation of the environment and natural resources? I believe that all these alternatives are valid and are already happening...

It may be that the human being is more strategic in its instinct than we imagine. In fact, even without understanding all the facts through evidence, it is the role of the strategist side of instinct to work out new situations.

Perhaps it is more appropriate to reflect whether those who seem "lost" to us are not the ones who are responding better to the changing process in the world?

I begin to wonder if we are not seeing the first signs of important changes still in formation. I begin to wonder if we would not be neglecting the advanced perception of young people again and running the risk of being in the past by apathy, passivity and comfort.

It's better to pay more attention ...
