Millennials and GenZ horribly misidentified
#85

If S&H dating of generations and archetypes are correct, which I think they are, then Gen Z are adaptives, and they in their youth are get along to go along types, not heroes. That's why they are called adaptive.

First of all the TITLE of this thread is that the ranges have been ridiculously misidentified and the ones identified in the theory have no basis at all in reality as they are completely different.
If you still count GenZ to GenY just to make your theory work then that is really dumb. I'd rather have an exception to the rule than to awkwardly try and change things people agree on.
Anyway: Gen Y are to a large part total idealists and demagogue ideologues. AOC is the perfect example for this. The world doesn't need PROPHETS, because that would imply subscribing to the religion that these people are pushing. And the majority of people does NOT do that no matter how you claim they do, otherwise she wouldn't have been laughed out of the senate, because there would have been at least ONE person there whose constituents are like her. They have absolutely got no right to act as the chosen ones that everyone should just accept as telling universal truths that people just HAVE to accept because that's how things are supposed to be. The term prophet was precisely right in this regard.
Gen Z - the sociological cohort - are actually the ones that can make things work. Their major thing from what the polls say seems to be that they are more reality bound. They address things as they are. The primary thing they care about is what can be done, not how things should ideally be. Gen Y are dreamers and Gen Z seem to be doers. This is indicated by their fiscal conservativism, their stricter rule adherence, their slightly more cynical culture, their complete openness towards some ideas considered revolutionary but actually sensible, and their lack of partisanship, compared to Gen Y at the same age.
These are necessities to actually make changes.

Also just look at how much the conservatives in here are decrying my posts. I'm a centrist. And we practically ceased to exist, which is part of a crisis, but which also makes a solution impossible if otherwise the both sides are about equally split. Which they absolutely are.
