Without wanting to diminish the tribulations of the Gen-Z-ers, the youth have always been a disaster.

I hear the assessments of Gen Z as being shallow or lacking focus or incapable of hard work, and I'm cognizant that the boomers were a youth who their parents no doubt felt lacked all that was good and holy.

It's not that I think humanity doesn't change or that there is nothing to worry about in the changes that occur with each new generation, but at least since the beginning of the industrial revolution, change = human, and it seems to have gotten us somewhere...well...not bad, at least.

Gen Z is going to be pretty different. I'm sure a lots of the different will be bad. But I'm also aware that the last few generations haven't exactly been able to claim unvarnished success with their way of doing things.
