Thom shared with us about the wars and the turnings, so we may ask ourselves...what war are we looking at now for this time in history and for the GenZs to fight? Is it the war in Ukraine? Or the war on democracy? Or the war against Covid?
No, it’s not those threats. I believe we all recognize the horrific war that’s been raging in the US…

No, it’s not those threats. I believe we all recognize the horrific war that’s been raging in the USA for the past 20-40 years. It’s gun violence! It’s now the highest cause of death for children in this nation. Not other nations it’s here! GenZs have been living out this war every day with active shooter drills...their entire lives. They are living out this war and it seems to me older generations seem oblivious to the real trauma they’ve experienced and how passionate they are to win this war. Just as the young soldiers devoted their lives during and after their wars to change the future we will see GenZs do the same!
GenXers didn’t step up and fight against the legislative political changes that were happening every day under their watch. What happened to them? Did they just bury their heads in the sand and enjoy the improved standard of living their parents provided for them? What could have changed if they had have stepped up, to not just see, but address, the erosion of political freedoms as oligarchs like the Koch’s and others took over our political systems. Could they have averted this crisis? I doubt it because maybe this is part of the turning cycle. Because that middle generation refuses to look outward in a collectivist manner, then the individualism reigns and the big bucks buy their way into positions of power to exploit and rule.
I believe these GenZs will not only step up but they’ll passionately win this war and strip the exploiters of their power and control. It’s our job as Boomers, and even those uninterested GenXers, to encourage and mentor them so they become world changers and lead the way to a more equitable, caring and fair society.
I hope there is such a thing as reincarnation because when I die I’d really love a chance to come back again and experience their amazing new world. And if that’s a crazy fantasy then I’ll be happy to live out my life encouraging and mentoring them so they become everything they commit themselves to be, and I’ll help them recruit Millennials who have almost given up on believing in a bright future. These GenZs I know are impressively fierce, educated and great researchers to become problem solvers who will win every war. Geez I love them!
