Question. There are scientist's etc who predict that because of climate change and associated diseases etc that the last human ( as we know ourselves) has been, or soon will be, born. With that in mind when do we label "omega" generation?
No "scientist" is predicting that. Ecosystem collapse might cause 99% of people to die off, but there will still be millions of humans finding a way to survive.
I would call Guy McPherson (Google, "Nature Bats Last") a scientist because he is a scientist. Whether he's right or wrong, there's no certainty that "millions of humans" or any humans will survive climate change.
Gen Z is prioritizing living over working because they've seen 'the legacy of broken promises' in corporate America, a future-of-work expert says https://www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-working-to-live-rather-than-living-to-work-2024-1
People have been (unfairly) picking on Millennials for so long they seem to have forgotten that many of them are in their forties now. OTOH, the Zoomers seem to think anyone over forty is a Boomer.
I mean they aren't called that. The generation before them that won WWII is known as the Greatest Generation. Those born 1928-1945 would have been at oldest 13 when the US entered the war and were thus too young to serve.

DeleteThere's only two generations - me, and people like me (oldsters, age wise), and, kids under six or ten, and the 'OMG - that teenager is my doctor???'.

ReplyDelete:-) It should be 'Boomers' and "everybody else'. :-)
ReplyDeleteI can't figure out why the silent generation who suffered the depression and won WWII is called silent? Because most are dead now?

DeleteOn second thought the Silent, '28-'45, wouldn't be old enough for WW II... nevermind.
