Whenever the term "Gen Z" gets thrown around, it usually refers to the group of people born between around 1997 and 2012, or in other words, those that have very little to no memories of 9/11 but were at school when the Parkland shooting happened (except for those born in 1997-1999, who were already out of school when it happened).

However, when terms like "Homelander" or "Homeland Generation" appear, there are usually three different possibilities it can refer to - born after 9/11, born since 2003, or born since 2005. 

You would occasionally hear of people born in the late 90's, and to some extent, 2000 and 2001, get called Generation Z, but I've almost never heard them referred to as "Homelanders".

It sometimes makes me wonder if Gen Z's official name will be "Homelanders" and if the Gen Z label will fade away overtime.

Here is a reprint of an article I just found and am posting it for discussion purposes only.  I am not sure I agree with all of the thoughts mentioned here, and do believe there are two schools of thought in the Millennial/Boomer debate. With the first one, you have Millennials actually feeling quite generous despite their mostly rotten deal in the economic sphere of life. They tend to be open and feel they can accomplish quite a bit with what they have to work with.  With the second one, you have the Millennials mostly keeping to themselves, buried for hours on end in their smartphones shutting out the outer world as much as possible. Under this scenario one of the main thoughts of the S & H theory this forum is based on would really be called into question. See what you think.

How a 6,000-Year-Old Dog Cancer Spread Around the World



High in the Himalayas, a heavy-coated dog trots behind the hem of a Buddhist monk’s robes. On the streets of Panama City, another dog collapses into a sliver of shade, escaping the heat of the midday sun. On their bodies a cancer grows. Their tumors each appear unique—their swollen, crumbling contours flush with fresh blood vessels emerging from beneath a tail here or between the legs there. But the cells dividing inside each one, continents apart, are actually the same organism. If you can call a clump of 6,000-year-old cancer cells an organism.

These ancient cells were once part of a dog that roamed the frozen Siberian steppe, a husky-like creature that lived in the time before humans invented the wheel or the plow. Then they mutated, finding a way to evade the canine immune system, a way to outlive their body by finding another. This cancer-cum-sexually transmitted dog parasite still thrives today, the only remnant of that now-extinct Siberian dog race. For millennia, it has been jumping between bodies, spreading like a virus around the world. Canine transmissible venereal tumor, or CTVT, is now found in modern dogs from Malawi to Melbourne to Minneapolis. It’s the longest-lived cancer known to humans. But until now, no one had looked deeply into its DNA to trace its evolutionary origins and discover the secrets of its viral success.
For the past decade and a half, veterinarians from nearly every country on the planet have been gathering the material to do that—shaving off slices of these tumors as they’ve come across them, sealing them up in test tubes, and shipping them off to the laboratory of Elizabeth Murchison at the University of Cambridge, in the UK. Murchison is perhaps better known for her work investigating a different contagious cancer that nearly crashed the world’s population of Tasmanian devils.

Now her team has used their massive collection of dog tumor samples to create the first-ever genetic map of CTVT. Published today in Science, it not only traces these cells’ prolific colonization of human’s best friend, it also begins to unravel the mystery of the cancer’s bizarre evolutionary success, offering a glimpse of how humans might one day tame their own.

“Human tumors don’t have much time to evolve—years, maybe decades—so they exhibit very strong competition,” says Adrian Baez-Ortega, a PhD student in Murchison’s lab and the study’s lead author. Within a human tumor, different mutations create sub-groups of cells that compete with one another for survival. Blast it with chemotherapy, and any resistant cells will outlive the susceptible ones, allowing certain mutations to dominate the tumor.

.....

For a cancer to become contagious, it has to clear two serious barriers. First, the cancer cells themselves have to find a way to physically get from one individual to another. (This is different, to be clear, from infectious pathogens which can cause cancers, like HPV.) And second, the cells have to be able to evade the immune system of the new host once they get there. Tasmanian devils pass their cancer around through the violent face-biting that typifies their fierce mating rituals. Dogs spread theirs through sexual contact—the tumors grow on the animals’ organs and shed cells during the act.

.....

(my comment: HIV/AIDS, often spread by sexual contact in humans, makes people vulnerable to such a cancer as Kaposi's sarcoma).

.....

If scientists ever have to grapple with a human patient-hopping cancer, understanding CTVT’s genetic evolution will be an invaluable asset. But for now, the genetic map has more to teach them about how to treat the cancers people already have.

Thought it would be interesting for all of you to think about some things out of the past you might like to see a comeback in. Perhaps it's the hula hoop, some type of short-lived fashion or food craze, anything nostalgic is fair game.  I shall begin by giving two things I would like to see come back into vogue; rooming houses and dance halls. The former as an antidote to the barbaric cost of housing in many areas; the latter as an antidote to the extremely uptight world we have become.

This is the first day of August, and unlike when I was growing up back in the 1950s, most school-age children and college students will be returning to their classrooms before the month is out. For most of the 20th Century the traditional school start date was the day after Labor Day, and some even waited until the following week to begin classes. But this is no longer the case, even though the school calendars don't require any more actual classroom days than was the case when start dates were later. In fact college often didn't resume classes until mid-September. And high school and college sports now start before Labor Day.

And while there have been petitions in some areas to return the start date to after Labor Day, most have been unsuccessful; the city of Chicago being one of the rare exceptions. It is hotter and better swimming weather in late August that in late May and early June, but for some reason you can't tell that to a school board. On the Internet I have found articles actually suggesting shortening the school year to eight months, starting around October 1 and running through May. But I seriously doubt that the PTB would ever go for it.

For the past three decades the trend seems to have been for parents to be pressured to instill in their kids that their determination, focus and strong will can more mountains. Kids really can't be kids and have lots of playtime the way we did back when I was growing up. And yet I often wonder whether the student loan crisis is making folks long for the days when even an eighth grade education was sufficient to get you somewhere. The businesses that are hurting with the earlier start dates are those such as public swimming pools, campgrounds and amusement parks which often end up shortening their seasons and closing just when often the weather is at its hottest, because they are unable to find lifeguards and other essential staff once school resumes.

Many school districts will cry wolf when it comes to lack of funding, and very often have threatened to shorten class time as a result. But in reality the only time that happens is when there is a teachers' and school employees' strike, which in itself has gotten less frequent in recent years. Somehow they always managed to find the money somewhere. And is the increasing emphasis on more and more education really worth it in the long run, when often folks might be approaching 30 before they become full-time workers and begin families? Would love to hear your thoughts on all of this.

I post here some graphics i work on. They are mainly in French since i come from Quebec, Canada. They are related to Metaphysics, people who are not aware of those things should watch carefully what Kabbalists are talking about. Some people believe Universal History have been made by man and is the product of a large scale fraud. (Anatoly Fomenko) It appear that a Thermodynamic Cycle of 256 years repeat itself through the ages and it match the Prophetic Writings of the Old Testament. The Chain of Causality and the Events that follows, tends to reform and to take the same shapes or patterns like what could be seen in crystallography. The 32 personnalities visibles among individuals are like the 32 classes of crystals.

The concepts are transcendent, it means that they are in some way allusive. They are not only referring to history, but to cosmology, sociology, biology, genetics, particle physics, economy, religion, system theory, metaphysics, and so on... Scientists who could master those theoritical concepts could not only predict the future wars, revolutions and economic crisis, but could also predict the genetic diseases affecting anyone based on their birth time.

I can't explain what i see by myself, because it depends at which level of understanding the observers are. Some people could watch them and find them too simple.

It depends on their abilities to "connect the dots" or if they perceive the reality on a concrete way (i mean literally) or if their minds are able to transcend all the science domains. There is no opposition between Science and Religion.
The debate between "scientism" and "naive religiousity" is purely fictive and stand on the incomprehension, narrow-minded and prejudiciable view that ...

The most important part is not printed in the graphics, it's in your head.

So Cyclic Cosmology (256 Phases Cellular Automaton at Planck Scale) and Polybius Anacyclosis (256 years) are based on the same principles. Wars and Revolutions follow periodic patterns that match the 256 types of psyche (Kabbalists call them the 248 Limbs of Adam Harishon) emerging from the 16 Breaking of Symmetries that follow the Great RESET (Could it be the Big Bang, the Birth of a Nation, a Revolution or the Collapse of a Civilization, etc...). So Humanity each 16 years face and have to solve societal crisis who are the reflections of the dominant Intrapsychics conflicts presents in the generation of that time... to accomplish the Tikkun that lead to the final restoration of the great soul of Adam who sinned in the Garden of Eden.

Each block of 256 years, contains events that repeat themselves with a mathematical precision in a predictible way. What the Kabbalists are saying is that the people (or the souls) present today are the same one as the ones who lived in the ancient times. The process is called "Gilgul Neshamot". The Revolutions of Souls. Crisis, like the sephirotic configurations or the balance of freudian topics in the mind obey symmetrical patterns and can be opposed in a 256 squares 16x16 matrix octeract Hasse diagram. Political ideologies who found their origins in the collective unconcious rise and fall following a 128 years cycle and rebuild themselves to reemerge 128 years later.

The partsufim (Faces of God) described in Kabbalistic Textbooks are the Breaking of Symmetries that shape the whole reality, from the microcosmic level to the macrocosmic one of Galaxies. Atik Yomin, Arikh Anpin, Abba, Imnma, Zeir Anpin and Nukbah corresponds to specific parts of the Carnot Cycle, they are the personifications of the Transitory Phases of a Thermodynamic Cycle.
