Gen-Z is a weird generation in the scheme of things. We date far less than any previous generation. Something like 50% of men between the ages of 18 and 25 say they've never had sex or been in a relationship before. The rates for workforce participation have also been steadily decreasing every year as young people decide to abandon the workforce and stop looking for work in general. Zoomers are falling behind on every major milestone from getting their drivers license to having their first kiss.
We've also seen a major increase in things like anxiety, PTSD, BPD, Bipolar etc. It's a stereotype that zoomers lack resilience and get burned out easily. Normal things seem to negatively impact them in ways that make life difficult to live.
I'm a zoomer. I know a bunch of zoomers. Many of us are finding ourselves unable to cope with adult life. It impacts both men and women in large numbers.
Hot take: Zoomers aren't just being lazy assholes, they actually have some form of autism. Idk if it's from the vaccines or the food or something else but there's definitely a very different psychological form emerging with each generation that hasn't existed with these numbers in the past. Young people genuinely have a much lower threshold for pain and exhaustion and need a lot of time to recharge after doing anything social or productive. They're afraid of the world and generally feel unequipped. This isn't everyone, but it's a big enough percentage to seriously impact society.
I think they will ultimately have a lot of influence. Society can't function when as much as half of the population isn't cut out for it. We're already seeing institutions change with safe spaces and stuff like that. I think society is slowly adapting to the reality that a huge percentage of our population now has neurodivergent traits. The world will look very different when they outnumber more adaptive types.
What if the world is shifting into one in which the traits of those you call Zoomers actually fit? Who could blame a whole generation for not wanting to engage the world in the ways that humans have been doing it for too flipping long?
Honestly, this world is not human friendly. I get all you tough guys who say, "Suck it up, life is hard." Life is actually fucking brutal. This human gig is not easy. If we roll with that, with the attitude that life is hard and then you die...what changes?
What if it's simply a marker for a changing humanity? Made up of ones who say, "no F'ing way will I submit to debt and wage slavery."
And you my fren, are actually awake. Comment needs to be pinned to whole damn board
You are an idiot. That is no different than affirming a mentally ill persons dillusions that they are not their natural born sex. No different. Believing the ENTIRE WORLD will shit paradigms to accommodate the squishies. You need to take out a loan and visit africa, south america, asia, eastern europe. You people better grow the fuck up and fast because things are about to get seriously uncomfortable around here.
Jesus already shifted the freaking paradigm. God wins. The end.
……. what???
Mmmmmmmmm K.
Nice chatting with ya
Yikes.
And that is what you really want? For anyone? It seems awul nihilistic.
If your vision is the end goal of Q and what new republic and new Kingdom will be, there was no point to any of this. I realize maybe life has made you cynical...
But when the Bible tells me they will thirst no more, they will play with the serpent, it is pretty clear this difficult and taxing version of life is not His plan for us.
No point in arguing. There's diversity in this board in that there are ones who accept the world as it is because they've grown into the capable and self sufficient people they are through the trials encountered here. They don't get that not everyone is like that. We all have a role to play. It's the ones who know it's not the Divine Plan for us to be in survival mode the whole time who'll be carrying those battle hardened souls through the portal with us.
It's all okay.
Yeah, you are right, which is why going forward I will not argue any more with him. My father worked since he was 4 years old, he had to drop out of middle school to work full time. I do not judge people who grew up like that but I believe there -has- to be another way.
I’m trying to figure out how if they aren’t working how things will happen. We will still need clothing, food planted and gathered, homes build which all require work to be done they don’t just magically appear.
Can't imagine anyone down voting this statement.
