millenials are coming around to the fact that the playbook they received for 20+ years was wrong

degrees don’t get jobs
the food pyramid is wrong
money isn’t happiness
disney movies are not real
adults know nothing

coupled with societal and technological changes:

atomization of society
restructuring of labor
heroin in your pocket
mental warfare
rupturing of moral fabric

it is easy to become nihilistic about the future. it’s trendy.

but viewed from an onlooker’s perspective:

a golden age of prosperity for all
efficiency everywhere
free and infinite knowledge
global opportunity, locally
longevity and health at your disposal

for anyone who feels dread when thinking about the era you landed in:

look at the system without bias. move according to the *new* rules and you will live like a king - a privilege now available to all.

there are no adults.
