You guys discuss all about the downside of this generation.
Like every coin this one has also two sides and I'm interested in what you think about could be some advantages of this young people. Any thoughts?
Maybe this can lead to a less conflict ridden worldwide politic because the Millenials are more or less unable to be "aggressive". Also I think they try to think and act more prospective in general regarding this planet.
The aggressors / politicians of this world will oneday "retire" and the next replacement is quasi the Millenials.
To make money and travel is incredibly easy now, probably more easier than ever before with the internet, cheap flights. Of course not many people or have the means to take this up, but I have seen a lot of people my age (22) really accomplish a lot in terms of traveling, setting up businesses etc.
I suppose this is another example of post modernism, you can create what you want to be. I would say though that most people don't have the energy or focus to channel that. The ones who can though, really have the ability to build something for themselves.
Im not sure about the lack of aggression. In one sense this is good, people being more willing to make compromises. However this is usually follows with passive aggression. It has to be remembered that aggression & competitiveness, are not bed fellows that should be banished, for they serve an important use. They just need to be channelled in the correct way and civilised in a sense.
Still on a whole, the most successful people that I have seen make the most of this "information age" often came from international backgrounds. Where there was a culture of success and certain element of traditionalism present. I think the combination of those can really be a wonderful thing.
No society or stage of a civilisation is going to be perfect. The dating culture is messed up. Coming from the U.K, I complete understand and see that. The resentment that is growing between men and women, along with this "fuck men" attitude that is being passed down to young girls is going to have some very negative consequences. I do see hope however, even the mainland continental Europe doesn't seem to be so severe when it comes to this sort of attitude and behaviour. I believe this is some mutation of protestantism hence why its so predominant in the Anglosphere.
As for guys who are still struggling to come to terms with this. Just remember they are dysfunctional people, end of, not just dysfunctional but very shit people.
