millennials confirmed lost generation sadly. raised on 90s end for history hopium, trusted in system like parents, surprised and dismayed by new horrors every 5-10 years since 2001.

broadly, the idea is: if we attribute a trait to a generation, and that generation raises the generation after the next one, wouldn't they have some sort of common traits? and there's probably some repetition where generations who are more disconnected raise children who are more connected/overprotected, etc.. etc... i don't fully buy it on the "crises happen every 80 years" thing but you do have 1780 (revolution), 1860 (civil war), 1940 (ww2), 2020 (covid++) so it's not insane
