      They’re young. Adolescent life stage effects are far stronger than generational effects rn. I expect it will in fact have hormesis effect and vaccinate them to adult stressors. Basically they’re getting their mental health priorities early.

      The stats, IIIRC, control for age. I hope you are correct, but the reactions seem to be coddling, not enduring. Eg trigger warnings and safe spaces. Both have an ideal version I like but are often overused to prevent the very hormetic experience necessary for growth.

      I think the actual prevalence of the extreme versions of that is vastly overblown by the right. I haven't actually encountered it in person.

      🤷🏻‍♂️ Jon Haidt is not the right. I’m not talking about someone like Tucker or Alex Jones calling Fen Z snowflakes.

      He’s more IDW sure, but I mean trigger warnings and safe spaces as concerns vastly overblown by the right. Also more millennial than Z since Zs just hitting college

      Yeah no, the stats are not on the side there. Most of the trigger/safe-space etc stuff started ticking up as millennials left college and Gen Z entered.

      And ofc these are marginal trends. I’m not bucketing an entire generation this way.

      Wouldn’t you, ideally, define it by when the data starts changing? Again, marginally, but the changes start a couple years earlier. https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/778961_ba9788e2e5e24a8aaa9b66bf0ecaeee5.pdf …pic.twitter.com/5TpzetyNSP

      Could just be an effect, too. But the feedback in response doesn’t seem to be CBT-like, but the inverse.

      Ideally, I'd take a mixed approach, correlating statistical signals with narrative events that seem to be psychologically salient vs. not. There's too much noise in the raw data signal. You need to unconfound for eg. current event effects etc

          A narrative... like one you could write a book about?
