Your exposure to GenZ is very different than mine. My son’s friends come over for DnD night and they’re hilarious, wicked smart, and very grounded individuals.

Your exposure to GenZ is very different than mine. My son’s friends come over for DnD night and they’re hilarious, wicked smart, and very grounded individuals. I’ve met friends of friends and found them to be similar. It’s only online social media (multiple sites/apps) that I find what you describe. And in that regard I have to emphatically agree with you. Perhaps just different social groups? Also, NYTimes or WashPost are barely credible news sources today. I wish I could recant the multiple reasons that made me feel that way but there’s been too many articles, too many videos, too many audio clips from them and others like CNN, MSNBC, and Fox. Forbes is another where you’d think their finance section would be immune from political bias but even they editorialize beyond the pale. I’m sure you know what I mean regardless of political side. Aren’t we all tired of being told what we ought to feel is important and worse, the degree that we ought to experience those feelings. Man, after Covid, they’re all on the chopping block in my book.
