Bring back The Grand Adventure! Culture has lost all its fun. Millennials are the canary in the coal mine, mass hipsterism & pop-pessimism are our death twitcheshttps://twitter.com/micsolana/status/1041721074054918144 …
On reflection, I wish I'd said "Make The Grand Adventure a thing." "Bring back" definitely implies a decline in adventurousness that I think is very likely real, but tbh "are we doing worse?" is way less interesting than "how do we do better?" & frankly more whiny than I wanna be
Endorsed! I grew up in an environment that was very much about fear- of others, of the self- but every now and then something bright and hopeful would break through from the larger world. It was electric. These days the larger world feels far too much like what I grew up with.
"Culture has lost all its fun" <-- I usually don't respond to claims like this bc I think ppl don't really mean them. But in case you do mean it, I'm curious which metrics you think are worse? I am skeptical but maybe I'm not understanding the claim.
I *definitely* mean what I've said here — I think it's reflected in the data on entrepreneurship and surveys on how students perceive the meaning of their own education process, but also the shift toward risk-aversion & "safetyism" that's discussed in Jon Haidt's new book.
I wonder if this is a function of growth of middle class. Adventure paradigm among small, secure elite was one thing, but now we see lots of people as class/cultural peers who are actually hanging on for dear life and have narrative of insecurity in past.
