Then I would find another job in that newly-trained field. If a future employer still imposes a mandatory retirement age despite new trends in life expectancy and extension and clinical immortality becoming a thing, I would take the company-sponsored pension and put that towards an education in a new trade / field / major and use that "vacation time" to go back to college in order to retrain for some of the newest, trendiest vocations of the time. As we would become clinically immortal, we would no longer have a need to retire. Since the advancement of medical science will accelerate due to faster processing speeds and improved research methods, someday in my / our lifetimes, the cure for all aging-related diseases, and even aging itself, will arrive, thereby making the concept of retirement obsolete. When it comes to retirement, I don't have a 401k benefit at my current job (Doordash) and I don't plan to retire anyway.

(Originally posted to the HCC LearningZone discussion page about Retirement, Wills and Estate Planning on March 24th, 2021) If the former friends stonewall me from getting answers from them directly.Īlso, backtracking my actions can help in figuring out answers that stonewallers would otherwise deny me. It has taught me how to use networking to my advantage -įind friends and relatives we both know and find answers from them, That situation with J&EE was the last real-life stonewalling situation I can remember.

So I have definitely learned a ton of lessons since then. (while those with dementia regressed in the other direction) We have since progressed in our emotional and social intelligence I later surmised that it was because of a silly and short-sighted post I made onto theįacebook newsfeed about Tyler “C.J.” J. He was stonewalling me - denying me the opportunity to explain myself and my side of the situation Īlthough I may later ask his sisters what they know about why Jacob and Emily took me off, When I asked him what I did to have them take me off, I later met up with Jacob at a sibling’s wedding reception. took me off of their friends list on Facebook back in about 2009, I have since learned to find answers from mutual friends or grown-ups who work with those kids, Nor the real reason why there is a conflict in the first place (example: “You were born.”) They might tell me to shut up or give answers that obviously is neither helpful nor constructive, In those days, if I ask “What have I done wrong” or “how have I offended you,” Stonewalling is putting up a figurative barrier that stands in the way of conflict resolution,Īnd has happened pretty often since childhood,Īlthough it doesn’t happen as often as it used to.
