I feel like this is true, especially of younger generations, in many rich countries.
I think maybe because it takes challenge and pain to grow and things have been quite comfortable for a long time for many.
It could just be my perception. But I've never seen so much anxiety, such reluctance to do hard things, and such inability to focus. Social media may be largely to blame.
- sergiomattei 5y agoIt's not any of those things. It's the fact that your generation likely faced a much different set of problems than the current one does. Every generation fails to understand the upcoming one. Common thought throughout the ages.
- eloff 5y agoYou don't even know what generation I am. I'm younger than you'd guess. You didn't address any of my arguments, other than to say it's just my perception, which I admit, is a possibility.

- andrewzah 5y agoThis is basically every HN thread when it comes to anything related to race in u.s. politics.
- mbrodersen 5y agoIt is not just your opinion. Read the book “antifragile”.
- eloff 5y agoI haven't read that one, but I've seen Taleb talking about it on Youtube, it makes plenty of sense.
