No generation escapes the statistics. A certain percentage will be psychopaths, sociopaths, thieves, liars, religious nuts, and abusers of every stripe. The difference will always be in knowing what to do about them, discovering what creates them, and having the courage to confront them.

I am certain there are turnings, and we are watching one happen.

Perhaps it has to do with the generation at the beginning of the period refusing to give up. Boomers were one of the most divided generations EVER. But, those of us who loved our hippy values did not lose them. We melted into the work force and kept fighting the status quo and the phony societal conventions we shed earlier.

Zoomers will have those stats concerning people to deal with just like everyone else. Their advantage will be in the science, communication, and free information available. They are going to need to use it wisely, we are about to hit the 8 billion mark.
