"It’ll settle once generational churn claims more Boomers and GenX" Maybe, but I'm not alone in believing there's more to it. Check my reply to giantg2 about B

Maybe, but I'm not alone in believing there's more to it. Check my reply to giantg2 about Brokaw (for context the thread starts early): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43716734 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43716734
"Boomers have unequivocally failed to accept generational churn and prepare."
That's undoubtedly true but look at the circumstances. The generation to which Brokaw refers did not want their Boomer kids to go through what they experienced and went to great trouble to shield them. Unfortunately, they became spoiled, less resilient and expected everything on a patter. That overcompensation wasn't their fault but the legacy hasn't been nice.
If you havent seen the film about Woodstock you ought to, it's good background material (it shows the other side of the Boomer generation).
Right, that's not physics, it's sociology and political philosophy—metaphysics (defn: above and beyond physics).
