exactly correct. millennials decided to sleepwalk forward and ignore reality. millennials are not out there solving societal problems even today. millennials also benefit from being raised in one of the most prosperous and nurturing environments that has ever existed. the only thing millennials ever did was spawn AI in a completely irresponsible and regrettable way. now our kids have to grow up not even knowing whether or not they will make it.

Ah yes, the financial crisis that was literally feared as the end of western capitalism was the most prosperous time ever.

maybe not true for all of us but by 2008 i was done developing. 0-12 is basically when you are created as a person -- molded by your environment. crime may have been higher back then but it was a much better environment to be raised in. society has waned quite a bit since then. public schools have waned a lot. all of our institutions. nobody feels like they can speak candidly or help another person without risking being taken to trial. yes, xkcd make a comic where he makes fun of people who say that things have gotten worse. but the crazy, unbelievable reality is that xkcd was wrong shock horror!

We are closer to the end of western capitalism today than we ever were before.
