Are the Boomers Screwing the Millennials? | Rightly Understood | Big Think


Nice piece very much in line with many things I have been saying over the last two years. It is bleak, certainly bleaker than the way generational expert Neil Howe sees things turning out.

Thanks to my friend Heather Davis for pointing this post out to me.

Maybe it’s more fair to say that the Boomers were lucky.  Their wonder and even peak-earning years were during times of strong and pretty constant economic growth and rising housing prices.  But there’s no chance in heck the Millennials are going to get the same kind of breaks.

I am a PhD student in Philosophy and Religion at the University of North Texas-Denton. I began my vocation through a nine year apprenticeship with my mentor, Richard M. Owsley. I can be found around Denton troubling students and professors about this and that. A fringe scholar wandering the borderlands between the Academy and the World, I love the hell out of Socrates and Yoda while tending to act like William S. Burroughs and Jaba the Hut. My current projects include studies of the Dào Dé Jing, the intersection of Karl Jaspers’ periechontology with Tarot, and the challenge of queering existential hermeneutics.
