      • Also, I don't at all agree that it's likely that educated people will "rebound" and start pumping out more babies.

            Didn’t you know, women just need to grow up and start popping kids out. It’s what they’re supposed to do

              It's a new-ish version. My brother might call it woke, even. But really it's the same game.

                  There was a version on Facebook back in the day which was fun. You could raid other wagons and lots of other fun updates.

                    But their choices about ethics and society may be different. Well, probably not, they haven't shown any sign of being any different and the leading edge is 40 now, so they'll most likely be Boomers Redux with some changes. Environmentalism, for instance, was started by the Boomers but they were utterly hypocritical about it. Maybe the Millennials won't be seeing as, you know, for their entire lives the planet has been on fire. The generations who come after will be less and less likely to resemble any generation alive now. They wont be the opposite either, they'll just be different.

                    I'm sorry if I'm being incoherent. I'm trying to get across two very different ideas. One is about generational power, the other is about the evolution of social values. The former is about numbers, the latter isn't predictable except for the likelihood that it will not map to what we think is so important now.

                    The unifying idea is that every generation in history has fancied itself something special. The specialness of a generation is like the specialness of a human being: for a brief period they get to be alive and their choices are humanity. But then they die and the next generation has the same specialness. There is no transcendent importance or value to any generation. They are all just the same ocean being jiggled about by tidal forces they aren't even aware of.

                    What is special, good or evil, idiotic or wise, new and exciting or traditional and foundational, is humanity. All the divisions within it are just marketing slogans to get saps to buy stuff.
                    Makes sense to me, but I'm just a boomer trying to avoid the hit.

                      For what it's worth, so far millenials are bucking the trend of getting more conservative as they age.

                        Just thinking about this a bit more. We went from basically having no computers in the classroom to cell phones in every pocket by the time we graduated high school. By the time we graduated college, the iPhone was released.

                        We went from no internet to ubiquitous connectivity (and that was in like, six or seven years!). This had to have been what it was like to have no electricity to electricity in every home. But insanely compacted in terms of time.

                            I think one of the big reasons* That 70’s Show was such a success was that it came out when that world still existed for the teens it was targeting. Driving around town aimlessly was a fun night, as was doing absolutely nothing in your friend’s basements. Being bored was fine as long you were bored together.

                            *Other reasons are Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp killing it.

                              I think you're dead on. And red foreman was one of the great characters in television.

                              I still remember in college that driving around was still a thing to some extent.

                                No one was suggesting that Boomers will be more hated than anyone else...the point was that later generations are showing to procreate less around the world especially as education rises. Boomers are so sensitive ;^)

                                When you don't have to worry about tending the farms or half your kids dying early you just don't care to have a litter. When you don't fear the Old Man in the Sky you don't either.
