Do you think our generation will be okay?

circlhat · 2018-10-28T12:17:25+00:00

Yes it'll be fine in the end. I think as we grow up we'll drop the social media addiction and just use it to post a few photos now and then without basing our lives around it.

The economy is always up and down and if we could predict it we'd be rich. But there's plenty of jobs out there, I have an interview tomorrow and another opportunity lined up soon and my CV ain't even that great. There will be recessions throughout the decades but ultimately things bounce back.

Most people feeling depression are only feeling situational depression not clinical depression. Therefore as they move up in their careers and find partners they will feel better. I do think overprescription of SSRIs is an issue though especially for situational depression. But it's not enough of an issue to fuck up a whole generation.

Social norms will change so marriage becomes less common and cohabitation becomes the new norm. This is already happening throughout Europe. Most people will still have kids and things will go on as normal.

Ultimately I think everything will work out fine just as it has for previous generations. We currently live in the most safe and prosperous Western society that has ever existed but that doesn't sell newspapers so they gotta pretend it's all doom and gloom.

Our generation won't be. We'll be overeducated, with crippling student debt and lower returns-to-education than before. We'll be packing ourselves into urban centers and dealing with high costs of living unless we get prepared to move into regional areas. Yes, jobs are getting fewer; we're breeding less accordingly, but a lot of people who want a family will not be able to have one. Not to mention we'll probably be footing the bill for our elders' retirement benefits and the like which won't be sustainable at current rates (at least in the USA - every nation has different safety net designs so the impacts will have to be looked at on a nation by nation basis).

Lots of people will be greatly disinterested in and cynical about romantic relationships, for good reasons IMO.

Will civilization collapse? No, don't be melodramatic. We'll end up with something like Japan's lost decade but the impacts are likely to be more cultural than economic I think.

nah

accelerate the decline

Young_Oryx · 2018-10-28T08:47:49+00:00

I think everyone will be just fine. I mostly see the things you're talking about on the internet: hatred and distrust of the opposite sex, lack of love, indifference, etc.

The average age of marriage is still sitting at around 27. People are getting married later, but they are still getting married and having families.

[deleted] · 2018-10-28T11:11:49+00:00

Maybe not. The shift to more automated working is going to come soon and someone I don't think companies will be in a hurry to share the wealth so that people can live easier lives on less money.

[deleted] · 2018-10-28T22:05:40+00:00

We are going to be fine, like we always have been.

Electra_Cute · 2018-10-28T05:46:18+00:00

I think things are getting better and will continue to as time goes on. It seems that a lot of the complaints I see men have about sex have to do with 1) them choosing partners almost indiscriminately 2) having unrealistic expectations.

EsauTheRed · 2018-10-28T05:47:26+00:00

No, it won't be okay and there will be a record number of never-marrieds, single mothers, and broken families

They'll all expect productive, successful people go carry them through life through voting for a $15 minimum wage, or mandatory 18% tips and 3% health and welfare charge, for example

Those who have bought into the shittiness and can't keep it bottled up and in, will always expect handouts

Hypergamy unrestricted will cause society decline until technology and transhumanism will save the day.

wtknight · 2018-10-28T13:55:19+00:00

We will probably be okay. Humans will adapt to new social circumstances. We are a very adaptable species.

[deleted] · 2018-10-30T14:20:21+00:00

No.

Probably fully 40% of the men between ages 20 and 35 will not marry and not have children. They will be doing really, really well to get dates here and there. Best for them will be to get decent jobs making enough to support themselves. They should just forget about women and LTRs, because it's not going to happen for them.

It is going to get a lot, LOT worse. A LOT worse. All around. Especially economically, politically and socially for men.

mgtow_1 · 2018-10-28T06:22:17+00:00

Society in general is splintering into more and more groups. As this continues we will see more and more conflict between these groups and common ground will be much harder to find if possible at all.

Pastelitomaracucho · 2018-10-28T06:13:25+00:00

We are developing A.I. that knows how to give blowjobs and the sex doll brothels are becoming popular.

We will be fine :)

We won't be okay, aside from everything listed before this (I presumably agree with 100%) we also have to face the fact of nature and species relationship. We've seen it in every other place on Earth except the U.S. because the history is just too new. Societies and civilizations fall when men, being the primary defence, fall. Today's day and age targets them and emasculates them. Then turns and hands them simulators to make due. The fact of the matter is species survive when they fight to survive. We may be all comfy cozy on our coutches watching TV and screens 24/hours a day now but give it time and the barbarians will do as they always have. Infiltrate and consume. You hear on the (fake) news all the time the discussion of imigration and boarders.. obviously time will show with this feminine society that we feel to badly about not letting people in and begin to accept all and the rot from within will be completed. Our society has already begun and you can see it clear as day if people would look up from their echo chamber providing cell phone screens, but alas these screens feed our instant gratification and reward system and when your a society that has never really had to truely struggle (given we have followed a tremendously wealthy generation not to mention sizable called the baby boomers) then you never even got the chance to learn the values of moderation self discipline and dedication. Instead your just distracted and then grow bored to you find a new distraction or you feed that reward system with ego building or material consumption. That's my optimistic veiw on it, but i could go for days about how this societies values resemble to much like sins (or simulations lol ) and not self sufficient virtues

Problems I've noticed with our generation:

expecting perfection with relationships. Has any adversity? Bail, wasn't meant to be. Our generation was raised on Hollywood more than any other
can't get someone to love you unconditionally? Get a pet. I laugh at any single person who owns a dog. Fucking loser.
delayed aging. 20s are the new teenage years. "Exploring yourself" to women means taking dick at some hostel in Thailand

Depends on the economy. When men can find decent jobs, women will marry the fathers of their children and raise said children in intact families. When men can't find jobs, women tend to go it alone, and those kids are at higher risk of being damaged.

Whodunnit88 · 2018-10-28T17:09:49+00:00

I think we'll start to see a rebellion against online dating.

Eartherry · 2018-10-29T15:31:45+00:00

Our generation can't fulfill our societal expectations because of the financial burdens of the time. We know we're supposed to go to college, get a job, get married and have kids, but we can't afford any of that stuff.

I think plenty of this generation will sit and wait for the world to go back to the way it was. They won't know what to do with themselves, otherwise. The rest will find something else to focus their time and energy. Relationships and children will become solely for recreation.

Of course, the older generations will shame us for deviating from our societal duties. In reality, we'll be reaping what they've sown for the foreseeable future.
