People always say that every generation thinks the younger generation is getting weird, and is crazier. But I believe that what I am witnessing of the gen alphas is just completely different from the type of rebellion of my generation (gen z).
People will keep saying “we’ve always complained about the newest generation,” but society is fundamentally different now and it’s not just this generation. My parents are victims too, slaves to their devices. It seems like only some Gen X and Millennials are at least technologically aware enough to see what’s going on.
The screen and media addiction of generation alpha is actually an emergency that requires government intervention. Its literally like a black mirror episode what this stuff is doing to kids.

my treat: I am going to be sad when I can no longer access an 18th century or earlier king's ransom in spices for a mostly bearable cost at walmart. we're getting there slowly but surely. as another example, olive oil costs so much now 😑
