Yeah and to be clear, I'm certainly not attributing it to some 'gen xers are terrible lazy shits' or something, it's just striking how all the party leadership is still so solidly in boomer hands even as they're literally hitting their 80s and 90% of the establishment convo around the next presidential election is still about people deep into their 70s.

Lychnis posted:I'm an older GenX, a demographic that used to be known as the "Baby Bust." Our parents were not, for the most part, Boomers. They were mainly Silent Generation, which meant that we faced a rather larger generation gap than our successors would -- the difference in social belief and attitudes between those who reached adulthood before the social movements of the 1960s and those, like us, who grew up after those movements was...well, pretty huge, honestly. It often felt more like a two-generation gap than a regular one, as if our parents were really our grandparents in terms of how attuned they were to the world we were growing up in. How much do you relate with the characters in this movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLGrXGEMOSo

Herstory Begins Now posted:There certainly are plenty that are in influential positions, but they seem slow to rise into leadership positions in the govt sphere. Maybe boomers have just been exceptionally tenacious about not giving up power, but I think a few of the other things people brought up (eg. apathy towards what was a particularly intransigent system when they were coming of age, having a lot of their plans in life derailed by two major recessions, etc.). Kevin McCarthy is a gen x-er. So is judge rape and judge stolen-seat. I guess they're all Republicans so maybe that is a caveat you're making (progressive or leftist leadership or democratic leadership? But I think you're fundamentally wrong. The governor of California is a gen xer. So is the governor of Illinois. I mean. Give me metrics and I'll look harder. But your point seems to be wrong. You're falling for a narrative that is fundamentally meaningless (e.g., the great demographic force of generations). And in five years you'll be even wronger. As the boomers age out, the gen x demo is poised to move in. It's currently transitioning. I'll be real surprised if 2024 rolls around and there are more people under 40 in leadership than people between 45 and 65. HashtagGirlboss fucked around with this message at 00:58 on Jan 23, 2019 |

You're falling for a narrative that is fundamentally meaningless (e.g., the great demographic force of generations). Judiciary skews younger because it's the one area where there is an external motivation to put younger people in power. IMO your experience as a californian is heavily influencing your perspective as they have done a surprisingly good job of tossing out a lot of weird old boomers out of power. Similarly wealth in california is concentrated in much younger hands than the rest of the country. In terms of national politics at the top level, boomers have a vice grip on the levers of power. 'Since 1981, the average age of representatives and senators has jumped from 49 and 53, respectively, to 57 and 61 [in 2018]' Like I'm fully not saying that there are no X politicians in influential positions, just that they seem to be lagging significantly behind. Probably the vast majority of that is boomer's not giving up power, but I'm curious about the other factors involved.

I still think of Wikipedia as "great for casual learning about subjects I have no prior experience with, but actual papers require clicking down to and through the references links and go from there". Which, honestly, is really not that different from the 60s-era Encyclopaedia Britannica set my parents have, with the exception my teachers would've been far more lenient had I cited from those.

Herstory Begins Now posted:Judiciary skews younger because it's the one area where there is an external motivation to put younger people in power. As boomers age out x-ers are poised to take the reigns. It's not going to jump. Right now xers are late 30s to late 50s. Prime leadership age is 50s to 70s. We're in the transition now. Come back in five years and x-ers will be more represented as boomers fall out more. It's not skipping a generation. Edit: IMO your experience as a californian is heavily influencing your perspective as they have done a surprisingly good job of tossing out a lot of weird old boomers out of power.Also - LOL - California just got rid of Boxer (for an x-er) and Gov Brown (for an x-er). It's just the respective ages of your chosen demographics. Boomers are at the top of their careers, holding the power they've gathered. X-ers are consolidating and preparing to move into those positions as they open. You're really asking "why do 38-58 year olds wield less influence than 60-80 year olds..." It's how the whole career arc works since like forever. In 20 years you're going to have geriatrics born in the mid 60s and early 70s clinging to power (if it all doesn't fall down first) HashtagGirlboss fucked around with this message at 01:07 on Jan 23, 2019 |

Teachers should be teaching kids not to cite encyclopedias for that reason—they’re meant as summaries of basic knowledge and contain little of value for serious learning beyond a place to start further research.

I have no idea how this is playing in the real world, but at least on social media people are really pissed off at the media and rightfully so, almost more than the kids at this point. The faster people realize the media is actively bad and not the lauded Forth Estate that they egotistically proclaim the better.

Is there anything about this PR campaign that's going to be helpful to Nick himself? It's important to his parents, and the school, and the diocese, and the PR firm. It's important to try and damage control and spin to make the responsible adults look better. But wouldn't it be best for Nick Sandmann to stay quiet and let the story die as soon as possible? It's not going to affect his education and by the time he starts his career nobody will care any more. Unless he personally wants to start a political career a la the Parkland kids. What are the odds of that?
