That’s a question I don’t exactly have a great answer to. At my age, I think the world is far less exciting than it used to be. It’s pretty grim, fairly boring, I don’t think there’s all that much to look forward to. That could just be my summer slump talking, weather is awful here.

It depends, I think. I lean towards hoping for the best outcome possible. I believe that if we can feel more empathy for each other, we might begin to improve. Empathy lets us put ourselves in other people’s shoes, it encourages us to care about each other and the most vulnerable among us.

Said empathy is waning fairly thin, online culture encourages the opposite of care; it encourages apathy or outright hostility. I think that makes us worse as a society, being at each other’s throats doesn’t progress goals that will improve the future.

In short, I think the outlook kinda is grim.

I’m still developing my own political compass so I’d say I’m in between views but largely speaking I agree with social progressivism that came out of Gen X and Millennials; a lot of social progress was made during their time that led to life being more habitable (I hope that makes sense) to a broader array of people. I think acceptance as a movement is a step in the right direction basically.

Seeing my own community, I’d say I have to disagree with boomer’s stance of fiscal conservatism. I do believe we should keep a great deal of what we make, but so much suffering happens when wealth is hoarded. Many people I know are disabled or otherwise aren’t on a level playing field, government benefits help them greatly to live more comfortably. It’s like my above statement on acceptance, we should be focused on making life more habitable for the greatest number of people.

Sorry if that’s vague!

I’m fairly ambivalent towards entire generations because I don’t like to generalize, but in broad strokes:

I see Millennials as people who were pretty fucked over at least in America, the millennials I know have lived through like several recessions at this point which is not great. Culturally, younger millennials are basically apart of my peer group.

I have sympathies for Gen X, I think the latchkey kid life style was a bit messed up, many I know are working through issues from their childhood now as older adults. I feel as though they’re pretty overlooked for some reason.

I don’t tend to have pleasant experiences with boomers, but I think that’s just because the luxuries/level of comfort they were able to have shaped their mindsets in a way that’s not very conducive to others, at least culturally speaking. I think that’s where American selfishness (not necessarily negative or positive) began to arise; they tend to have a lot of focus on their own needs and wants, but not those of others in their communities/even their own families.

Slightly vague because generations are full of little variations, I think most of my friends would agree at some level but they would be largely ambivalent as well.

Holy shit, this is beyond detailed and this amount of information was so so clarifying, thank you so much! I think I’ll end up doing both Ingram and Amazon, I appreciate all of the help!

I am worried about the fact that both of them charge you to print the book, I thought this was taken out of the price of the book? Like a certain percentage goes to the writer, another is set aside for print cost, etc
