I’m sure as usual it will be a stimulating read. However, I think you fall into the trap of allowing these generation labels to become generalizations. One example being your assertion that the boomers were all hippies in the early twenties. That’s a Californiacentric view. I went to college in 1967 the Summer of Love. Most of my contemporaries were barely radicalized and mostly reactionary. If they had all been hippies and stayed true we wouldn’t be in this mess now. In fact hippiedom morphed very quickly into fashion and lifestyle. Just like Punk became an art movement. Most Boomers weren’t especially skeptical of people over thirty. They just wanted to be over thirty as soon as possible. You’re fomenting friction where this is very little, hoping to flush out Boomer Fragility. But let’s look at the aspirations of Millennials. Many more have got to college and swallowed the promise of a life time of debt while living with their Boomer parents until their thirties. It’s Boomer envy from the BooHoo generation. Keep on keeping on. We need you to make us think.

I meant their early twenties.
