I don't think you're right about me. If it looked like gen z was thriving, I wouldn't be concerned. All the evidence seems to indicate that they're really struggling though, and in ways that past generations more of less had figured out.
I'm not conservative, despite what may have come across in this post. I'm glad many cultural norms have changed since I was a kid. There was a lot of room for improvement.
If you have evidence that Gen Z is thriving, I'd love to see it.
