The Shallowest Generation

I don't believe the psychology or basic character of man has changed with the baby boom. Rather that we have failed to keep up with forces of change, which have accelerated since the end of World War II.

Extremely cheap energy was a fixture of the post World War II era. This major expense has returned to historical norms. The advent of television and television advertising changed politics, our sense of who we are and who we could be, and studies show, can induce a suggestible state in viewers. A global population boom has changed the face of the planet, and we are now much more vulnerable to the butterfly on the other side of the world. The unprecedented availability of knowledge on the internet, almost instantaneous communication, undreamed-of sophistication in tools from computers to medical devices: the effects of all of these are difficult to predict.

I will agree that greed is a great danger to our culture. And that we must consciously go against it. But we are not fundamentally different from previous generations.
