Boomers, what would you like for future generations and what have you done to achieve that?

Hi Boomers,

What would you like for future generations and what have you done to achieve that?

I'm not sure there are all that many Boomers here. There are some of course. (I'm late Gen X incidentally.)

As a counter question though- are you aiming to reach Boomers that are parents? I do know of one or two childless Boomers here. My question though is:

Do you think childless people of any generation should be very invested in future generations? What are you doing or planning to do- to ensure the future generations have better lives?

I'm childless myself- partly the consequence of being ugly but then, also out of choice. I started developing anti- natilist beliefs towards my mid/ late twenties.

Truthfully, I couldn't say I am massively invested in the younger generations. While I try to limit the harm I do in this world, this whole world sickens me. It's an environment I both wish I hadn't been born into and long to escape. So- I'm simply not invested or much interested in what happens in the future. As cruel as that sounds. I'm just relieved it won't be my offspring that have to suffer here. I tend to view it though- that if people choose to bring life here- they ought to be the ones ensuring that their offspring can thrive.

I think we all have some responsibility to not destroy the planet and all the other creatures that inhabit it but- it really depends on whether you value the human race- as to whether you want that to thrive.

Also, I'm curious as to how much power you think an individual actually has. I imagine a good Boomer parent likely hoped to simply be a good parent- just like a parent today or 20 years ago.

What do you think they could/ should have done to ensure the next generation thrived? I'm curious why you targetted Boomers too. Why not the generations that followed them? Why not any parent? What has that person done to ensure their child enters a reasonable world to live in?

As individuals it's difficult to change a country or society. Especially when you're childless as I am also, I don't fault you for being uninterested or uninvested in the future.

However as a collective, history will not be kind to boomers. They will go down as the most selfish materialistic generation that continue to sell their children's future for their own comfort and prosperity now. Their grandchildren will pay for their indifference, inaction and selfishness. They also refuse to step aside, all while holding millions of gen X, millennials, and gen z hostage. They ought to step down now and let the next generations lead. The people they elected, the policies they allowed to pass, their indifference, lack of critical thought and action, brought us here today.

Part of me wishes it was a better world so that young people could feel good about the future. As for me I am speaking about it. That's what I'm doing right now.
