This is my conversational account. For my work follow @ribbonfarm, @breaking_smart, @artofgig. Tweets are 90% vacuous views, apathetically held. Mediocritopian.

      If you’re around 19-21, lol No gentle “emerging adulthood” life-stage decade for you, Zoomers. Straight to middle-age stress. You should just add 10 years to your age right now.

      Yawn. Antifragile. Cocky and eating all of this disorder, tbh. So are my friends. Anecdotal experience says that 21 year olds are mostly inconvenienced because we can't hang out with each other. Otherwise, low level of stress to report, honestly.

      That’s because you’re mostly not paying for your own lives yet... and the ability of your parents to support you through this as millennials parents did through 2007-12 is far weaker. When that reality hits you’ll age as suddenly as millennials did.

      Have to disagree. Had long term projects that paid off. I'm rare, but serious. 21 year olds are shrugging off whatever's happening in the world. Frankly, it seems like we're all sick of it anyway. If I can speak for all of us, burn it all down, and we'll start over.

      Nice for you but you’re rare as they say. And as you no doubt realize, you can’t really speak for all of even your local group of friends in your generation, let alone your entire generation or everybody alive. People vary wildly in their dependence on/stake in the system.

      Depending on where on positions oneself, a person can speak for many at once, especially across space and time. I've been a follower of yours for a while man, you should believe more in the power of your ideas. Your readers can make a big impact in times like these. Watch us.

      You can always speak, but doesn’t mean the people you think you’re speaking for feel spoken for 😄 Ime when a charismatic figure speaks for an assumed group, best case: 1/3 fall in line as enthusiastic sheeple, 1/3 guardedly lend temp support but with big doubts, 1/3 reject it.

          Sounds about right, working with about 25 people. 1/3 of them is still a good enough size to hopefully make an impact. 🙏🏽
