A thought I often have - older millennials and younger Gen X have a unique obligation to fix certain parts of society because we are the youngest generation old enough to remember how to operate in and enjoy a world that wasn't A/B tested into a gray, lifeless background hum.

I am 51 and a Gen X. I did my part, I voted for policies to increase the social safety net, universal healthcare, etc.

This is the world that people wanted. I have the Ben Kenobi plan, I’m going to disappear somewhere and when the evil empire comes for me, just give up and die and then it becomes the younger people’s problem.

I sometimes think that I know better, and younger people are just wasting away. But maybe every generation feels that way when they come of age.

Some of us still remember the days before "multiculturalism". It breaks my heart knowing kids these days will never experience that.
