We GenXers can see through all the bullshit as if we had X-rays and know that its all rotten and nobody cares and we are gonna die so whatever.
I envy the younger generations that grew up with a brighter view of the world.
Unfortunately, it looks like the even younger ones will have to live through what's been our life experience.
Unsure of where that will lead them.

@4Dgifts The Times in the UK surveyed Gen Z and compared the results to a similar survey they did back in 2004. The level of disillusionment has cranked up a notch: https://www.thetimes.com/uk/society/article/gen-z-survey-takeaways-what-we-learnt-j8vszr76g

@nickmurison I imagine genZ feels pretty much like we did in the 1980s

@4Dgifts "Von Neumann himself attributed his generation's success to 'a coincidence of some cultural factors' that produced 'a feeling of extreme insecurity in the individuals, and the necessity to produce the unusual or face extinction'" (The Man from the Future, the Visionary Ideas of John von Neumann, quoting from Stanislaw Ulam's Andventures of a Mathematician)
