It seems to me that you tried really hard to be neutral on the TikToktification (sp?) but where do you personally stand on this topic? I'm curious.
Two main points that came to mind:
1. I have a lot of hope for Gen Z, but I'm also weary of these studies, especially the self-reported ones. Just in the last few days I read one article that said more than half of Gen Z'ers wished social media was never invented, but the average Gen Z'er spends approx 9 hours a day in front of some form of screen. They are eco-conscious but also most prone to fast-fashion. They're not interested in dating but most prone to doing thirst-traps. "The math isn't mathing" as they would say.
They're figuring themselves out, and I can't generalize to capture a whole generation. But they are textbook intention gap: real life habits and beliefs don’t match.
2. Guilting someone into being eco-conscious and why that doesn't work is a subject that was beautifully explored in How Minds Change by David McRaney. Great book.
Damn this was good.
