If Gen Z are dubbed the Digital Natives, would Gen Alpha be dubbed the Social Media Natives, the XR Natives, or simply “The Disrupted”?

It’s always funny to think about people in the past assuming us, the future folks, would have everything figured out. We’re as confused today as we were before, just a little more aware at how much we don’t know

Viktor Frankl said, "When a person can't find a deep sense of meaning, they distract themselves with pleasure." It seems a lot of Gen Z’s problems (social media, adult films content, dating apps, streaming services — essentially, digital device addition) come from a lack of meaning.

Ted Chiang (2) and Ken Liu (2) have the greatest short story collections. Absolutely mesmerizing worlds, great morals, and such beautiful writing.

Gen Z’s increasing avoidance of dating apps might also be proportional to their increased use of AI chatbots — are they replacing their annoyance with contemporary romantic (human) relationships with relationships with tech?

If someone used a drug every hour, possibly every minute, for decades, we’d say that person is a hyper-addict and it’s a miracle they haven’t overdosed.

Gen Z’s addiction to devices was engineered from childhood. Almost like being injected with heroin everyday, even hourly, for ~2 decades straight. Terrifying.
