This piece is disturbingly ageist and naive in parts:
"That’s not because you’re inexperienced — it’s because you’re right. Your generation is, by definition, further ahead on the march of progress than everyone else. It is literally you who cause the progress as older people die and you rise into power."
The exact same thing was claimed by the young generations who grew into adulthood along with the rise of multiple fascist and communist regimes. Sometimes change is progress and sometimes it's not. Assuming that new beliefs are correct because they are new is dangerous and wrong.
