The Disturbing Prophecy That My 92-year-old Grandfather Shared With Me Before He Died
I did not have a good father, but I did have a good grandfather.He was a man of honor, able to respect his turn to speak and listen attentively. But a man who also knew how to communicate clearly and to give a blow on the table when it was necessary.Once, a marquis for whom he worked his land wanted to buy his son because he could not have offspring. My grandfather, poorer than a mouse then, told the Marquis, “There is no money on this earth that will pay the price of a single hair of my children.”I will only tell you that my grandfather died richer than the Marquis.He learned to invest in things that only some people initially invested in: Terra, Amazon, and Tesla. Until dementia caused his children to take him out of the stock market game at age 90.
He always said, “Don’t be afraid to invest your money in the future because if there is no future, your money won’t do you any good.” My grandfather could predict significant short- and medium-term changes; that’s why he did so well in the stock market. And that is why shortly before he died — as if he were Nostradamus — he made a disturbing and increasingly accurate prediction to me.And he went on to say, “And machines and computers will do everything a thousand times better than you. That’s why you have to be very kind to yourself. Because advertising wants to convince you that you are the problem, you will buy their solutions.
