Left, Right, Left, Right ...


We're talking about the brains of "millennials" here...

While still on the topic of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (see Aug. 8 post):

Another peeve of Dr. Tim Ball (whose own website seems to have gone caput) is "millennials", Ocasio-Cortez, of course, being one of them.  Again, I can't blame him for being peeved, and I do hope his site is not suffering a DoS attack, but he's taken to lumping and labeling people, and I don't feel comfortable with that.

PJMedia: Hot Air and Ignorance About Methane From Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
By Dr. Tim Ball and Thomas Harris February 21, 2019
  • The GND [Green New Deal] is driven by the emotional ideology that is the religion of environmentalism for too many millennials.​

Too many? How many is that? Is there really such a thing as a "millennial", and, if so, how can they be the problem of the future when they themselves are being overrun by AI - Artificial Intelligence?  Those "millennials" who studied for many of the careers our society has respected in the past are increasingly tough out of luck in the job market.  Is that really their fault?

I think there are generations ahead of them that don't give a hoot what happens to society itself as long as there is money to be made from technology.

Even HuffPost has chimed in against the so-called millennials:

HuffPost: Where Millennials Went Wrong and How They’re Paying the Price
  • They contributed $1 trillion to our national student loan debt [Bloomberg]
  • They are the most educated generation in human history, yet they have the highest share of people who are unemployed in the last 40 years [USA Today]
  • 48% of employed college graduates have jobs that do not require a four-year degree. [The Center for College Affordability and Productivity]
  • Nearly 1/3 have postponed marriage or having a baby due to the recession. [Pew Research]

First of all, I'm from "The Greatest Generation" and I'm here to tell you that my generation may be labelled "great", but it has always had a mental block regarding higher education - which in my opinion should always have been FREE for the taking. And that goes for health care as well.

And don't talk to me about dollars in the trillions unless you're going to include the Pentagon's obscene budget courtesy of the American taxpayer!

So many of society's problems could have been avoided by making it easy for all citizens to achieve their greatest potential without having to worry about how to pay for it. Because, believe me, society pays in the end with prisons, police forces, social workers, psychiatric facilities, welfare, desperate criminal acts ... and illiteracy due to cutting corners on education at any level.

Now we don't even talk in terms of knowledge, we talk in terms of "skill sets". Knowledge is the enemy of our Brave New World, where babies are increasingly hatched in petrie dishes and fewer and fewer citizens have knowledge of history, biology, literature, the arts, or even spelling, grammar and basic arithmetic.

People should rather all be AI Specialists or E-Commerce grads (with a few medical types thrown in) so they can eventually live like this:

CIO.com: The workforce of the future is already here; are you ready?
  • The point is, human beings adapt. They have and want purpose, so they find new jobs, explore new skills, and find new ways to earn a living. That’s not unlike what will happen in this next wave of innovation.
  • ... some in new and increasingly important fields like engineering and artificial intelligence, and others in more traditional roles, specifically those that focus on caring for, or helping, people (like teaching or nursing).
  • There’s going to be an increasingly important premium on those “right brain” skills like social and emotional intelligence and new media literacy
  • In other words, there will be no use for the "left brain" skills... 

Oh, really? Well, here's the first thing they should learn. It's very likely not even possible for a brain not to use its left side. If so there will be disciplinary problems galore. And another employment opportunity will arise in "Corrections", and I hate to think what that will entail.

LiveScience: What's the Difference Between the Right Brain and Left Brain?
  • In a sweeping two-year study, published in 2013 in the journal PLOS One, researchers looked at the brains of more than 1,000 people and found no evidence for significant differences in brain-side dominance among individuals.
  • Just about everything about your brain that makes you human exists on both sides of the organ.

How to take the human out of the human, eh?  A project for technology, no doubt. Soon we can all choose whether to be tin men, cowards, and/or heartless. Was The Wizard of Oz yet another omen of modern reality?

Interesting and sympathetic, but soon to be very, very outdated because he doesn't even touch on having to work with AI.

There seems to be this whole meme on line about millennials vs boomers. As if the idea is to blame or out blame one or the other for all the woes..

I see it as yet another identity politics/ divide to conquer concept.

Example?
Saw this article today

"Waiting for baby boomers to die is not effective housing policy "

https://www.tvo.org/article/waiting-for-baby-boomers-to-die-is-not-effective-housing-policy

And I thought how very distasteful

"I thought of him again this week, after the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation released a report stating that GTA residents aged 65 and older are staying in their homes longer — and that that’s a problem. "

Who say's that a problem? I don't think it is. These people don't want to be warehoused in a for profit 'old age home'- good for them! That's their right.
I'm not even 60 as of yet ( a few years to go) and I can tell ya, I'm staying put as long as I can! My grandmother and great grandmother did the same- Grandma was in her home till she died at 91.


Then the millennial's get their bad rap. In other ways.

I don't like all this pitting one against the other-

That said I do find the millennials to be a little less then questioning of the system, but, this is due to their age and having different priorities at the time of life they are now in.

BUT... they have to make that leap and see that not everything is roses and wine or champagne and that's where boomers can come in to enlighten..

Which leads me to think that the divide is being created intentionally to disconnect the generations from one another so wisdom cannot be shared

As it has been for generations.

Just rambling here Yaya

Maybe, as I was saying yesterday, it's because they are not yet far enough away from the grade school indoctrination where they were taught not to buck the system, and that, if you're good, you'll get a cookie -- so of course they feel deserving -- except that it seems we're short on cookies.

You, Penny, own a house and a garden and should not even be having to think about not living out the rest of your life in familiar surroundings! So be a "problem" as long as you can and more power to you!

You were right on the money! They aren't far enough away from the edu-indoctrination system. And some of them have stayed in it for a long time-
Short on cookies and houses apparently?

And yup, I intend to be a "problem" for as long as possible
