I agree that the generation division is not great, and I try not to lump people into “cohorts” but man the boomers are easy to pigeonhole. Obviously these are generalities and don’t apply to all..
The positives: they are fun loving, generous, optimistic, self-assured, hard working, trusting.
The negatives: they’re naive and obedient to legacy institutions (govt, tech, media, white coats).
Most of them write off bitcoin and alternatives to the dollar and 401ks.
So many are disconnected from the natural world and as a result are not great stewards of land. Largely consumers who have little concept of where things come from or how that thing impacts the world beyond them (lifecycles of products)
They have a really hard time seeing health as a holistic system and how things are connected, and don’t like to acknowledge that they’re going to die (and in many cases plan for it)
These are just a few of my observations after being raised by boomers and getting to know their siblings and friends well.
Each generation has its pros and cons, and that’s ok. We all bear responsibility for where we are as a whole society
