This time around, without a blue print for a grand new public order, we can expect the Millenials to not be builders of great public institutions.. They may uphold a patched up system, but their focus will be on building private institutions.
Boomers and Xers have already overbuilt private institutions, and some are trying to displace public institutions of long standing with for-profit private alternatives already. If Millies continue on that path, we're seriously screwed. The good news: they seem ill disposed to more privatization … or even continuing what currently exists.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
