Do the younger generations stand a chance with the current state of the internet as a dopamine force-feeder always on tap? The curiosity that drove people to create hasn't left humans, but the sheer availability of interesting things to discover makes it hard to put the phone down and do boring things for long enough to make something great. I wouldn't be surprised to see productivity (not sure if that's the right word) loss of more than 20%.

Historians can find rants back in the Roman times about how the younger generation was only interested in dopamine. (Dopamine wasn't known 2000 years ago, but that is what they were getting at). Despite that we have been fine.
