Don't worry, GenZ will eventually get even more burnt out than us. They're just not there yet. We all have it rough.
I’m not even sure if this is relevant. What is relevant though: we are all burned out and instead of asking who’s the most burned out we should probably fight the cause, because that’s the same for all generations: capitalism
hear hear, it's not team sports, it's everyone's fucking life, we all share this place and this time
Instead of comparing our burn outs we should be burning the people holding us captive.
Why do you think genz will get more burnt out than us?
Because everything that has made life worse for millennials, is not fixed, not even a little bit, and is not going to be fixed. It is going to keep getting worse and it is not clear people are even really trying to fix anything anymore because we are, as the article points out, burned out. There is almost nothing on the horizon that has much potential for making anything any better or easier for anybody, and the few things that do have that potential, like AI and automation, are very clearly (to me) going to be misused for exploiting humans in almost every possible way and making life harder not easier for the vast majority of the human population which likely includes everybody commenting here.
GenZ may instead get burned-out literally -- from their homes, as humanity continues to work mindlessly towards a goal of creating enough heat to set the entire planet on fire, but maybe the rising oceans will put some of the fires out. Families and mental health and the fabric of society will continue to fray. Prices will keep rising. The wealth gap will continue expanding. Lawlessness and homelessness will become rampant. Democracy will continue to slide towards corporate tyranny and fascism, and peace begins to make way for conflict and war.
Time plus exponential decline.
The frequency with which once-in-a-generation calamities are occurring.
Fuck, man. I'm at 3.5 and I ain't even 40 yet.
As a college grad from the dot-com school, I feel ya.
