This is really interesting because I wholeheartedly believe the original sentiment that everyone thinks their generation is special, and that "now this time they've really screwed it all up" is quite myopic -- and that human nature and the human experience are relatively constant throughout history while the world changes around us.

But, it is really hard to escape the feeling that digital technology and AI are a huge inflection point. In some ways this couple generations might be the singularity. Trump and contemporary geopolitics in general is a footnote, a silly blip that will pale in comparison over time.
