I am 53 and I do not know how these young people are surviving. Unless you have family to help, the cost of living is near impossible for the average 18-25 year old to live on their own.

This was my comment: *IM 54 AND OLDER PEOPLE* who think kids have it easy and moan a lot embarrass me - YOU GUYS HAVE IT IMPOSSIBLY HARD....!!! I grew up in extreme poverty in the north of Thatchers Britain to an unemployed mother and father - at 24 I owned a 3 bedroomed stone built house that cost 2.5X my salary as a telesales person, a Toyota Supra Twin Turbo - NOT on finance, and i was out clubbing 3 nights a week - and that was normal - AND THE BOOMERS HAD IT EVEN EASIER....!!!

Because it is. I’m 34, I’m in the same boat. This isn’t getting better, it’s getting worse. I’m equally as directionless. There’s no clear path forward for young people. Trust me, us older people pitty the young. Especially the very very young growing up in this world.

This is an incredible outlook for a 20 year old. You’re figuring it out. Good head on your shoulders. Stay away from alcohol and drugs, trust me. I stayed away till 23. Don’t fall for it kid, you’ve got the world at your feet if anyone does, DONT RUIN IT! I’m praying for you to keep your head about you. One slip is all it’ll takes. Bad times aren’t an excuse. Bad times are part of life. You can make it worse with substances, not better. It’ll never make it better. You’re doing so well, it’s obvious to someone like me but maybe not as much for you. This is a purposeful effort to ruin this county. Don’t let it ruin you. You’re a smart guy and a good kid. Society is crumbling. 😉 Get your worth from yourself. That’s my biggest advice. Ignore what women think for the most part. If you’re genuinely yourself and doing well they’ll flock to you, don’t change for them, they don’t know what they want. But you know who you are.

Im 39. Young people have it unbelievably difficult. The world is a very different place than when i was young. If I'd have had the ability to see what the world would become, I very likely wouldn't have brought my Children into it. I feel so guilty that they have to live in the world as it is.

Well done. I'm a 55 year old aka Gen X. I grew up without the Internet, and as I got older I grew up with a technology that was always evolving. Societies always collapse. History has shown us many times. It may not necessarily be WW3, or a sudden collapse of everything that 20 somethings hold dear to them. The velocity of how aware we are of these changes will vary depending on what any of us are paying attention to. I have always been working wether it be through an employer, or I found side hustles to supliment my income. There's always an opportunity out there.

Sometimes on my channel I have spoken about the state of things today, most of the time falls on deaf ears, One thing I can say is there is an old saying frog in hot water, that's what is happening, young kids can not grasp what it was like for us as kids, like we could not grasp what it was like for our parents, my parents would say. in my day.. same as we do, and eventually you will, in my day, I was writing a book many years ago, and one of the great lines I wrote, was "everyone had slowly de-evolved into state of high performance neanderthals." It would be interesting to talk to someone, who does have their eyes open to see how they see the world. I do feel things have got worse, people have become more selfish, its I this and selfie that. we are worlds apart as a generation, I am 54 by the way.

I'm 48. I think you guys have it pretty rough. The ones who are trying to get ahead that is. When I was in my 20s worst I'd see in my small town were maybe a few ppl got too drunk and would yell down the street at night. Maybe one dude was on an acid trip. We didn't have whole blocks of tent cities like we do today being coddled to keep taking fentenyl. I was clueless politically back then. Today I see the govt, science, history, health undustry all in some form of corruption, unwilling to change, and we are stuck. I think young people need to form alternative organizations for those sectors that are more immune to becoming corrupt and bought off, and we might evolve.

*OK - IM AN AUTHOR* on psychology and the collapse of civilisations and I appreciate your optimism - but its misplaced. *CAPITALISM IS ENDING* in the UK and the U5A - its over. The entire economy has been turned over to "rent-seeking" and wealth extraction. *IT REALLY IS THE END* but what you should take comfort in is - *YOU WILL GET THROUGH IT* Its just a phase, like WW2 was a phase and the Cold War was a phase and deindustrialisation in the 80's was a phase - THIS TOO SHALL END and YOU will build the future....!!!

well it all can usually be traced back to bad laws and policies as the origin of the problems. for example, single family zoning has had the effect of limiting the supply of housing, which allowed the limited available housing to jump in price (this, along with people thinking of housing as an investment, which ensures every times they sell, it sells for more than they paid for it). during 2020 when covid was still in the news, people were screaming in support for stimulus packages. these packages were pretty trivial (maybe around $1500), but the way these packages were funded was the Fed printing endless money, which devalued the power of the dollar, which hurt the poorest people the most (and people whose net worth is in stocks the least). also, people always talk about taxing the rich, but all these taxing policies did was carve out the middle class. the rich were able to survive, the middle class either became lower class or moved to states where they could still afford a middle class existence, and the lower class stayed lower class, but likely became even poorer. when people try to fix systems based on their emotions and no understanding of basic economics, society eventually finds itself in a hole it dug itself. and usually instead of trying to dig itself out of the hole, they keep digging down.

im a 47 late Gen X!! I am so proud of Gen Z for seeing through the lies that affected their parents. It is ridiculous. Elon Musk made a awesome point, in today's world, even the poorest person has a way better quality of life than the richest people in the 20th century, We got it way better than any kingdom ran by royalty. As he put it, we are literally super human now. We has a computer that is more powerful than the any tech from the 1900's & in the 2000's. The pocket computers or aka the clever marketing term for these pocket computers with the name "Smartphone" . I am literally using a Laptop from 2016, its a 6th gen Intel i5. I am watch your video & typing this at the same time. This was things that we dreamed of in the late 1900's. Cold Fusion had a great video & he made a good point. If you just have a couple of dollars in your pocket, the person is doing better than 75% of the world!! This is a New World now. This is one of the most peaceful times in modern history

The things have always been like that the difference is people didnt know or didnt have time to care --- today people have so much time they waste on entertainment from netflix to youtube to going out to following shit on social media while ordering shit from restaurants and ubereats -- in the past families and friends would gather around food preparation and consumption which took good 4h out of the day -- and thats just dinner
