I agree with everything you've written here. It's not unreasonable to look at large groups of people with something in common and draw statistical conclusions about them. What's unreasonable is to look and a single person and think "because he's from this generation he must think that".
- MCRed 11y agoAbsolutely. I had dinner last night with a Millennial (I'm Gen X) and he was telling me something about how people acted and I reacted surprised-- and it turns out he means people of his generation. He was an exception to that behavior, but he recognized how his generation was different from mine and he one between. Of course, when I was in Chile things were very different. Because the culture is different. In Chile there's more of a pre-pinochet vs "grew up after pinochet" generation-- the divides are not the same as in the USA.
