There have been many Nomad generations in the past. Earlier ones at least had a kinda happy ending, spending their old age in a High. (Unless they were so unlucky to witness the new "Awakening", where the idiocy and hypocrisy started which wrecked their childhood once. Like that one Lost scholar who studied cycles mentioned.)
But the Xers are the first Nomad generation who have the knowledge (or could have, at least) about the cycles of history. If they hadn't, their further course would be similar: Doing dirty but necessary work during the Crisis (without thanks, rewards or respect, even if they expect it), sacrificing even more later, hoping that further generations would do better.
But instead, we know how grateless other generations are, and how the whole cycle will begin again. And even if we were content with that: Because of the Silents still being powerful (see my other thread), Xers aren't even allowed to do the necessary work of simplifying and moving away Silent garbage.
So - what should Xers do with their knowledge?
