I get this argument. But do we really think, in 40 years, our children won't find blame in us for the shape of things? https://www.vox.com/2017/12/20/16772670/baby-boomers-millennials-congress-debt … I'm not sure we can expect generations to get "better" at protecting the future

i would agree with you more if we as millennials weren't facing super bleak economic conditions, the robbing of our public services and a destroyed planet all at the hands of the boomers. these are big problems that will be very hard to reverse
-
o, totally! The argument stands! We're set up for some hurt. Just thinking that we shouldn't take it for granted that generations will make better decisions in the future. (though, maybe, the bleakness will be a force to nudge us to a better place. idk)
-
i personally believe that only gen Z can save us
-
what's after z? Are they the last generation? Would be sufficiently epic if they do, indeed, have to prevent the apocalypse
-
after gen Z there will be total singularity and generations will cease to exist
-
that's the most hopeful thing I've heard all day

I enjoyed this discussion that roughly says how Gen Xers/their parents are less insufferable than Baby Boomers and millennials.https://theelectricagora.com/2016/10/17/generations-and-journalism/ …
-
interesting theory: insufferableness skips a generation
-
I agree though that most outrage and complaints are driven by a lack of self-reflection, but I did find it kinda compelling.
