50 isn’t the new 30.

Mediocrity seems more palatable with cute slogans. 

It’s not ok to grow old without a legacy worth mentioning.

It's a rather passive aggressive slogan that normalises the state of the economy where you have to save enough of your earnings until you reach 50 to live an actual life, while in the past being 30 would have been achievable at 20.

EXACTLY

the chants,

the slogans, 

the ‘self-empowerment’ kumbaya 

the stories they tell us about how ‘it’s ok’ to take your time…

It’s all meant to keep us in a state of complacency. 

To be ‘grateful’ for what we have.

Never driving for more.

In this light it does sound like boomerganda to make younger people feel okay they can’t afford houses or anything that normal human adults should be able to achieve in a more functional society

Another reason to accelerate our advancements in science & tech to become a multi-galaxy species. 

UBI normies want us to suck on the tit of the government.

The system was designed to keep you complacent.

Never stop striving for greatness my friend.

Counterpoint: world population has tripled since dawn of baby boomers; keeping up with the joneses is nothing compared to todays hyper competitive social media hellscape.

Purely by numbers there will be many more average people in the world. I don’t think settling for less than exceptional is at all a bad thing.

Exactly the point I’m trying to make.

Lowered expectations, mediocrity is baked into the system. 

It’s there by design
