ON GENERATIONS AND GENX
I’m technically Gen Jones (Between Boomers and GenX) but I have a greater affinity for GenX. My gen are a little too ‘Wall Street’ and GenX is a little more ‘Breakfast Club’. Prefer the Breakfast club crowd. And culturally I’m definitely more attuned to GenX experience (Autism? must’ve matured late. 😉 ) Only bad thing about GenX is the parents of Milennials and GenZ because of working mothers and the latchkey kid effect. Cable was originally ok, but between computer games, cell phones, the internet, bad social media and overprotective absent moms, … not good.
Gen Jones
“They were children during Watergate, the oil crisis, and stagflation, and were young adults when HIV/AIDS became a worldwide threat in the 1980s. Unlike leading-edge boomers, most of Generation Jones did not grow up with World War II veterans as fathers, and, as they reached adulthood, there was no compulsory military service and no defining political cause.” (We chose biz. Gates, Jobs, etc)
Narrative:
I gotta tell ya. That I dunno what the boomers are talking about because everything I remembrer from the Kennedy assasination to the race riots to the weekly marxist bombings, to vietnam, to watergate, to the oil crisis, to carter’s screw up with the Iranian hostages – it was a SH**T time to be alive. But… the difference is we still had social life, we were still fit (not fat), had hair bands, concerts, we had lots of s*x in cars, couldn’t catch a dangerous STD, and all we had was beer and pot. When I got into college the Coke thing started and it seemed like people were dropping out of college like flies because of it. Then the AIDS thing happend and the world changed. 😉
You can’t really imagine how much everything changed from star was to the Regan recovery. It was like rebirth.

Letter from Aristotle to Alexander recommending treatment of the foreigners as he campaigned toward Persia.
From The Politics
“Those who live in a cold climate and in Europe are full of spirit but somewhat lacking in intelligence and skill, so that they continue comparatively free, but lacking in political organization and capacity to rule their neighbors. The peoples of Asia are intelligent and skillful in temperament, but lack spirit, so that they are in continuous subjection and slavery. But the Greek race participates in both characters, just as it occupies the middle position geographically, for it is both spirited and intelligent; hence it continues to be free and to have good political institutions, and to be capable of ruling all mankind if it attains constitutional unity.”
From “Letter of Aristotle to Alexander,”
“Alexander, my son, take a few moments to consider how you should conduct yourself toward your parents as well as toward men in general … As for other men, hold yourself, as you do now, their superior in action and virtue, and thus you will be dear to us and honored by all the Greeks. As for the foreign tribes, you must know that I consider them all as plants or, to speak more plainly, as beasts. They are best used as slaves in the service of the needs of the Greeks.”

(Aristotle considered everyone east of greece ‘barbarians’ whose words cannot be trusted, and all but calls them animals. The greeks had a parable called “Hermes and the Cart of Lies”. Hermes takes the cart of lies around the world distributing them, but the cart breaks down…

Northern european, germanic, scandinavian, post religious, homogeneous, small populations, egalitarian, majority of time indoors, and many other incentives too. Just no conflict-pressure they need to resist.

WE CANNOT CHANGE YOU – WE GAVE UP (AGAIN)
We cannot change you because you are not capable of change. Half your population has an IQ of 83 or less meaning you are unemployable in any capacity other than repetitive manual labor that is simple and free of decision making. Again, half of the people are effectively uneducated able to read nothing more than the Koran or simple text, with no substantive knowledge of the world. You have the lowest trust people outside of africa, and the least trustworthy, and the most petty. SO islam is necessary for you.
We have conquered you six times already – and each time found you wanting: The 1) bronze age collapse, 2) the greeks, 3)the romans, 4) the crusaders, 5) Vienna, 6) the world wars and I suspect our halfeuropean jews of- israel will make it a 7th – which they would if we would let them.
Instead of conquering you we are trying to civilize you. We are trying to unite israel, the kingdoms, and egypt against Iran’s conquest of lebanon, syria, iraq and it’s possible given the conflict in the east, they have eyes on at least parts of the saudi persian gulf coast (oil), as well as the kurdish territory in Turkey. And since the second world war we have been trying to shepherd you into economic prosperity sufficient to raise you out of ingnorance and poverty – as we have the rest of the world by ending empires and creating free trade for all.
No men have ever been better than we but maybe the victorian english. Otherwise westerners have done more for humanity in a few centuries in the bronze, iron, and steel ages, than all other civilizations in history combined. And it appears rather obvious that every time we come into contact with you it causes some sort of dark age of ignorance and suffering.
You can’t handle modernity because it requries intelligence, knowledge, contract, trust, and trustworthiness. It’s ok. But we must separate forever, until, possibly, some day, you can.
The chinese are right. “Build A Great Wall.”
