When I look at all this stuff, I see what feels viscerally like a big "CAUTION!" bubble eating youth culture, but I have a *lot* of questions about how it arose, why it persists, whether it's central to the trajectory of our culture or just sort of a weird temporary stop, etc.
Some findings that would shift my opinion: > younger people are increasingly optimistic about the future (or: optimism is holding stable) > though entrepreneurialism is down, growth in self-defined roles in larger orgs > "moonshot" grant programs have lots of quality applicants
