It kinda makes sense to think of Gen Z as overstimulated, getting too many signals from too many directions, and thus not being able to find any center or grounding for how to live their life or what constitutes a good life.
I'm obviously biased, but I think rediscovering traditional biblical Christianity is a good response to that problem. Even if you end up rejecting it, at least you've encountered a coherent vision of life and you know what it is you're rejecting, which may help you to shape your own vision.
Oh course I agree with you and I would add that the cultural shifts and norms are contributing to what is happening. A civilization unmoored will eventually crumble and I hope people begin to rediscover how amazing western civilization actually is. Its not perfect but throwing it out as the academic class seems to advocate is entirely foolish.
When I talk to young people about this stuff they have no clue as to where all this came from. How central Christianity is to western civilization. If they do, it's a cartoon all negative version. And they only know the cartoon version of other civilizations. The most astonishing thing to me is the impact of Christ on the entire frame of mind that harshly judges western civilization. Without Christ it would not even exist.
