Zoomers vs. Boomers INSIDE, ManyKudos TUESDAY!
🕑 Added 2022-08-18 18:52:29 +0000 UTCIt was time. We had to do it. Intergenerational warfare has come into the Unknown -- and everyone who showed it up made it awesome. Make sure you DO NOT miss ManyKudos on Tuesday at 6pm ET live in the Discord, because we can guarantee it'll be a profitable use of your time. We've witnessed Kudos go from beginning to full-time YouTuber, so GET ON THE KUDOS TRAIN. On to the Zoomers...
A broad range of people listen to The Create Unknown, from high schoolers to retirees. Occasionally that leads to some misinterpretations, and we’ve run head first into a few of those recently. It’s time to throw down.
We clear up what we meant by our shared worldview that we talked to PsychicPebbles about – namely, that things are getting much, much better, and that life is just a lot easier than it used to be. Does that mean we’re out of touch with current problems, or that we don’t think they’re all that serious?
The truth is that they’re different, and we try to qualify that whenever we can. And sometimes we even over explain it. The problem seems to arise when information runs counter to existing beliefs. Do we miss nuance, or does someone just hear what they want to hear? What we do know is that Vietnam spared us both and neither of us have ever truly had to worry about getting drafted.
We discuss the truth about intergenerational wealth and security as we tap into the point of it all: doing what you can to help yourself and then doing what you can to help others. Some of the answers here have been around for thousands of years – and that’s why literally everyone needs to read the Book of Job.
After addressing a specific comment about exposure to shocking amounts of blood, Patrons ask questions about what got us into the creative realm, Matt’s bizarrely ghost-like presence at Light Wave, whether there will always be generational gaps, and our formative experiences in college.
A really solid crowd turned out for this one, and contributions from Episode Chat helped make this discussion roll (including a special nod to Jen for her frequent wisdom). All of you make this show happen each and every week – we owe everything to our Patrons and community members, and we’ll see you when you GET INNNN next week with ManyKudos.
