RE: Natively Entitled

I think you're spot-on about the younger generation expecting everything to be set up ready for them to instantly use it. No need for instruction books, software and devices that aren't instantly intuitively useable are considered sub-standard !

But I don't agree that all the boomer wealth is going to be transferred to Generation X. At least here in the UK, the government (both parties, doesn't matter which side) has fully bought into the WEF idea of "you'll own nothing and be happy... or else". Their view is that all wealth is theirs, and it's about time it was transferred back to state control.

Property prices, property-based taxation and inheritance taxes are rising insanely fast, to the point where most Gen X'ers accept they'll never be able to afford a house of their own and will always have to rent. The average age of a first time buyer in the UK has risen from 24 in the 1970's to 33-35 (depending on region) now. Taxation and old age care costs mean that almost all of the wealth created by the boomers is being transferred to the state, not to their descendants.

Everything has to be out of the box, and require no instruction. Sure, that can be great design, but what does it teach?

I am sure the state wants that money in their control, because of it isn't they will further lose control of the people. Governments are collapsing, yet we keep caring about them, listening to them, abiding by their rules that obviously don't work. We are a strange species.

YOLO! Enjoy your life now! Have a career! Don't have kids! Go to concerts, travel... but whatever you do, don't invest.
