Oh, could be. Maybe not so common in US, very much so here.
> Regarding fatalism/truth, my thinking was that if you're "filled
with vast hope that truth is on the [s] march" because youth have no
hope of a career, then it seems that what you're seeing as true is
"one cannot control one's work trajectory". Being out of control of
your life's trajectory is fatalism. But in my opinion the reality is
that we have control over our trajectory. Perhaps not as much as
we'd like, but it's a lot more than nothing. (It's not like we are
only ever going to be a farmer or a blacksmith or a merchant because
that's what our parents are, for instance.)
I see yeah. While I agree with that as fatalism, it wasn't quite what
I was hinting at.
It was more about the way a "career" is taken to be something you
have, rather than something you live. In that way it can be held over
people as a threat - something that can be taken away if you speak
your mind. As in;
"You'll never work as a fisherman in this town again,
Mr. Hemmingway!"
Since the Gen-Zs don't hae that security (nor even of a home to live
in), they've less to lose and so honesty can come more readily. Hope
that makes sense. sorry for late reply, respects.
