CBBForum nixes Strauss & Howe
#1
At CBBForum, people are discussing the Theory, and it doesn't look good.

Check it out here: https://cbbforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4278

The OP gives a great overview of the theory, although he has this to say with a sneer:


Quote:So basically, because Millennials came after a Nomad generation, Generation X, the authors expect twentysomethings and teens to follow social norms, be intolerant of homosexuality, oppose drug use, listen to the Backstreet Boys and 'N SYNC, dress preppily, believe kids have too much freedom instead of seeking youth rights, get behind the president during times of war, trust corporations, and value unity, order and stability for their own sake.

S&H got these points right, but Khemehekis' bias is showing when he says "be intolerant of homosexuality". "Intolerant" is such a negative word; it's more like Millennials realize the importance of respecting society's norms regarding deviant behavior.

Every single poster after the OP comes on full-force negative on the theory. "Bollocks", "bullsh*t", "silly theory", etc. There's not a single believer in the thread. Is our theory really THAT fringe and unpopular?

Let's join CBBForum and set the people in that thread right! They clearly unfairly misrepresent our theory. I think they need to hear OUR side of the story!

We've had similar arguments on the old forum. You should feel free to join and argue the case.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.

I just did.
