It occurs to me: Do we Millennials have a triumphalist fantasy of our own generation? What story do we tell ourselves about how we saved the world?

I guess one problem is that we didn't really *do* much that could be construed as saving the world, even with creative storytelling. We mortgaged our financial future to buy overpriced houses from Boomers, worked for Gen Xers, and encouraged Zoomers to go protest.

The most important and consequential Millennial so far is probably Mark Zuckerberg.

I think the Millennial generation, if we save the world, will have to do it as middle-aged authority figures and managers rather than as young folks.
