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.
Found these statements about Suramin which I didn't know:
Suramin is used in the treatment of African sleeping sickness (African trypanosomiasis) and river blindness (onchocerciasis), infections caused by parasites. This medicine works by causing the parasites to lose energy, which causes their death.
Suramin is not a proven cure or treatment for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but preliminary research suggests it might have promise to improve symptoms associated with ASD. (Feb 22, 2023)
