The atheist generation will have grown up and begin to look for someone to tell them everything will be okay. It's a good opportunity to start a new religion.
A new religion based around what? Is this religion supposed to actually be believed? This is one of my favorite videos which explains why new religions don't have as much credibility https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PEg_Oys4NkA You have to watch the video to probably get the basic idea. I'm not Jewish despite the video focusing on Judaism.
Which direction is the zeitgeist blowing? From my perspective, it seems that there is a real and ongoing erosion of local communities (labor, religious, or otherwise) that are replaced, often times, by a shallow virtual existence. It does not have to be a religion in the conventional sense, just something that attempts to give meaning to the meaningless.
Additional anecdata: At my place of employment, after the required code review, we must write an essay about the change and have at least two coworkers approve it. Then we must email the essay to a mailing list of several hundred people. One of those people is the designated external reviewer, who must sign off. However, lately, this final reviewer has been requesting 10+ modifications to the deployment essay due to a managerial decision to "improve deployments". Moreover, deployments are not allowed 1/4th of the year unless a vice president has signed off.
Once you start getting part of your regular comp in stock, it will vest on November 15th, and May 15th. This may or may not occur until after your initial grant has vested depending on your yearly total comp (your manager should be telling you this ;-) ).
At age 13, I completed my PhD at Google while having an internship at MIT, Stanford, and Berkeley. By age 15 I won the Nobel Prize while working at my tenth SV startup. My name is Franklin, and I drink wine on the weekends.
Also, some form of artificial companionship.
