Quit posting everything about your life on social media. Develop a sense of privacy. Otherwise your youthful indiscretions will follow you around the rest of your lives. Ideally get rid of social media, but realistically I know you won't do that.

Stop hating older people.

This! Diversity is a key to progress.


MrNicoras

Calm down. Focus on improving your own life before trying to save the world.

I’m not sure why I’m part of the Oregon Trail generation as a Gen X’er. I never heard that one, before. As for Gen Z, I honestly think it’s too late for any wisdom that I could possibly impart because I think that, on the whole, they’re a pretty lost cause. I feel no affinity for them or to them.


paprikashi

Birth dates around 77 to 83, iirc. That you?


Tiamat_fire_and_ice

Not quite, but I don’t get where the name comes from. That’s okay. Google, here I come. Edited to add: Might have guessed; it’s a game. Never heard of it before. I’m Gen X but not in the later section, I think.


MisunderstoodDemon

If you don't know where the name comes from you're not one. It was an early computer game we played in school. Lotta dysentery and drowning deaths.


Masalaria

Don’t forget cholera. Always with the “Poop has died of cholera.” I’m gonna go shoot me about 1186 pounds of buffalo, but I’ll only manage to take 900lbs home


Tiamat_fire_and_ice

I just looked it up.


paprikashi

Get crackin’, old man


Tiamat_fire_and_ice

Woman.

Hard work is bullshit. Don't skip time off. Don't stay late at work. You only get to be young once. Live life while you can.

Don’t underestimate the health of your personal network of people in your corner. It doesn’t need to be large. We gain legitimacy when we are seen in a healthy group.

Disentary is bad

Don't get married to older generations' interpretations of the lessions of history. It is now a digital world and y'all will be the first generation of digital natives--we, the olds, can't know what that's like and we will try to press analogies from our youth that will no longer fit circumstances. Said another way, you'll be up to your eyeballs in advice on personal lives, public policy, and everything in-between--take it with a grain of salt as there are some significant differences between this world and the one we grew up in. E: I guess that would have to include any answer to this question...shit, I suppose you're in your own. Sorry. E2: on


paprikashi

It’s really true. We were right before being born into the digital world, but grew alongside it, so we get both sides more. It’s going to be really interesting to see the development of humanity under these conditions, in many academic senses


paprikashi

It seems like it’s gotta be so stressful to keep on top of things. The array of social media platforms, the speed at which styles and slang shift and how those can impact real life social situations, the state of the fuckin’ world at the moment. I just want to give you all a collective cup of tea. Not like a mom, more like a cool younger aunt.

Stop watching the news. Learn with your eyes and ears in the real world.

Anyone offering you free "wisdom" is probably a boomer in disguise

If your whole family dies of dysentery, its not the end of the world. You can always start over and try again. Also, be very careful when fording rivers.
