It’s almost like all symbolic logics are leaky abstractions and economics abstraction is being leveraged to leak undesirables in deference to decree of the fiat rich, whose skill is “been alive longer, was born into post world war economy.”

The luck is in being alive this long. Doesn’t say anything about their fitness to steer society via socialized memes there’s a communal upside to capitalism. Sounds pretty socialist.

“It’s good your agency is expropriated and your value deflated for the cause!”

Hardly; they are outnumbered 2:1 by Millennials and Gen Z. Gen Alpha is coming out of HS, slamming into the same reality as their elder siblings.

GenX had cushy youths and young adult lives, the “start a family” time, the opportunity to afford a house or 3 by now.

GenX is the cohort leading the decline in allegiance to church and American civic life pageantry. The original “eh capitalism is just old guys selling high minded memes about human future just like religion” generation. The let’s forget “stuff” for experience.

They did not have the same pressure to sell widgets Boomers raised by a Silent Generation of post world war shellshocked Cold War paranoids huffing leaded gas fumes.

The only way I see them “shining” is by laying low like they do and let the next generation get started living a life decoupled from the olds demands we serve their vacuous decrees.
