Gen Z is Worse Than You Think

We think it is worth reading this take by a Gen-Zer on the Brainrot of Gen Z.

Note - while certain kinds of Brainrot may be concentrated in Gen Z but is certainly not limited to it.

"One in five Gen Zers are not in employment, education, or training because they’ve given up on the rat race entirely. Jonathan Haidt and others will tell you it's social media and the lack of free play. Some will argue it's the decline of religion or the increase in therapy culture or that we’re in a “comfort crisis.” I'm not a social scientist—I'm just a crotchety old 22-year-old—so I won’t present you with a perfectly correlated data set, but I think we’ve ended up here from all of the above to some degree. Emerging technologies, including the internet, have made us comfortable, and when we were no longer in survival mode, we began to look for meaning and found it lacking. We began to ruminate about ourselves. As the internet democratized information we exchanged wisdom for facts, religion and community for evidence-based psychiatry, and social connection for social media."
