There's nothing like "Gen Z" or "Gen X". Stop this bullshit that's not more grounded than astrology. There's cultural development in society, but it's not restricted to an age cohort.

We don't need to take risks, our circumstances are taking all the risk for us.
Forbes is just writing fan fiction for a certain demographic................
Is this another one of those articles where gen-xers and boomers blame the kids for the inevitable downfall of "western civilization"?
Hey, don’t lump gen X in with the boomers. We’re their original victims.
Hurt people hurt people.
"Thought terminating cliche"
That actually seems just true or perhaps it just lines up with my personality. Alghtough i wouldnt be so quick to put wars , plauges and other dangers as the actual cause. its probably the opposite and the relative lack of those combined with the social media either overblowing most stuff or completley opposite , ridiculuing the problem with no inbetweens makes pepole weary .
Hey look, it's a description of me! 🙃
Interesting. There is a strong correlation between social media use and mental illness. I wonder if maybe there is some link at play here.
Unlike Millennials, gen z had social media as soon as their parents let them. I wonder if the social pressure of trying to maintain a presence on socials might be influencing the risk aversion.
Uh didn't the majority of them just vote in a fascist to fuck up their economy and futures? Risk averse my ass.
You think Trump is going to fuck things up. His voters presumably think he's going to fix things.
Aww. One could almost pity them until they remember how screwed they made us all and decide on taking absolute pleasure in them finding out instead.
This conversation was about Gen Z being risk takers or not. We all know we're screwed under Trump. The trend line of people saying that right now is through the stratosphere. No one here is going to learn anything by you saying it again at this moment. We get it.
Sure, that's just a really accessible and recent example of them being massively not adverse to risk.
No, not a majority, just like 40% of them.
Are you saying 40% of ALL gen Z voted for Trump? Or is it 40% of the ones who did vote, vote for Trump?
