I have a lot of contact w/ them. As a result I know something I wouldn鈥檛 know otherwise: many, if not all, of them don鈥檛 relate to what we call being [[Millennial Generation|millennial]]. They want to be full adults & are not finding paths to becoming full stakeholders. |timestamp=5:53 PM 路 Dec 3, 2019 }} {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1201922336238104576 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein |username=EricRWeinstein |content=The oldest of these [[Millennial Generation|Millennials]] are now almost 40. In my original area of academe and science, it is time for [[GenX]] & [[Millennial Generation|Millennials]] to stop running out of fuel in infinite holding patterns. We should start ignoring air traffic control & land the planes. Crash landing if necessary. |timestamp=5:53 PM 路 Dec 3, 2019 }} {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1201922337076989952 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein |username=EricRWeinstein |content=Here鈥檚 the problem. It鈥榮 time for [[Millennial Generation|Millenials]] to start becoming univ. presidents. Yet only a tiny number of research universities even have any [[GenX]] heads! Likewise, notice that [[Millennial Generation|Millenial]] @TulsiGabbard & Xer AndrewYang surge, but are dropped from corporate media promoting Boomers. |timestamp=5:53 PM 路 Dec 3, 2019 }} {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1201922338121338880 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein |username=EricRWeinstein |content=Q: Should we start talking about bringing back Mandatory Retirement to stop involuntary inter-generational wealth transfer? Consider that we will have spent 20 Yrs exploring US presidents born in the summer of the 1st year of the baby boom. 24 if Trump (b. 1946) is re-elected. |timestamp=5:53 PM 路 Dec 3, 2019 }} {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1201922339094417408 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein |username=EricRWeinstein |content=Since Trump, Clinton & Bush were at the beginning of the Baby Boom, It is theoretically possible (though it won鈥檛 happen this way) that if we continued this pattern, it could be 2044 before we were ready to elect a [[GenX]] or [[Millennial Generation|Millenial]] or [[GenZ]] POTUS.
