Looking Forward to the Generational Change of Power

2/21/2016

0 Comments

 
Now that it is painfully clear who the presidential nominees will be, I find it necessary to point out: Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton are both Baby Boomers, just like George W. Bush was. As grateful as I am to my parents (both Boomers) for bringing me into the world, I will be glad when their generation finally retires.

Boomers were the first post-Western or anti-Western generation, the hippie generation, the first generation not of Beethoven, but of "Roll Over, Beethoven." The kids who wanted to tear down the establishment (including every vestige of the Enlightenment), and who used their numbers to that end, now *are* the establishment.

We will be much better off when the Boomers are off the scene, out of the positions of cultural power and influence. And we will have an amazing cultural opportunity when the generational change of power comes. It's not here yet, but it is coming soon.
