fourth turning. millennials = GI generation?

GI gen is Ray's parents. The focus was on the material world. Energy, food, housing. Healthcare and education can be the majority of the GDP. The focus on the material needs created a strong reductionist mindset in science. These days digital media kinda takes that away. If younger people are content with subpar products of silicon valley, the economy can go on and become even faker. Most seem to reject it though from what I've seen on social media.
I wouldn't mind giving up the internet and sending physical letters while living in a cabin. Or watching movies in a small theater with the locals or in a pub where the owner is my friend. After all, that's how right wing philosophers are pictured by most, avant guard outside of soy academia. The right label is meaningless really, just points out to what it's not: bootlicking cowardice.
Nothing's stopping us from taking over national parks. The rangers won't be able to do much when enough already settled. Government workers are generally spineless. There was no reason for boomers to leave the cities, that's why their commune failed. This time every young person wants to rebel against the overpriced suburbs. Of course, the real power is in the cities, but good luck taking those.
