If we can leave an entire nation that far behind without outrage, we have tacitly endorsed the notion of surplus humanity.

pretty incredible that there's a reasonable case to be made that human intellect forever peaked with early/mid zoomers

Status Quo Bias
people disproportionately do nothing or maintain their current or previous position, often when an easily assessable alternative would be superior

from my current read "Maxims for Thinking Analytically"
sounds very similar to region beta paradox which I've covered here: https://news.1rj.ru/str/humblespace/67

The Region-Beta Paradox (RBP) is a behavioral science framework that describes the tendency for people to recover faster from more distressing experiences than less distressing ones.
The RBP can be seen when someone is in a situation that is not bad enough…

Good decisions sometimes have poor outcomes
Bad decisions sometimes have good outcomes
separate the quality of the decision from the outcome at all times to avoid resulting (aka outcome bias)

some people don't find themselves until their mid-30s or 40s
everyone runs their own race and discovers themselves in their own time
if you've managed to discover yourself early, you're lucky!
life is journey

Been thinkin a lot about youth culture's shared history with music, and why this is no longer the base case.
In the past, music was the primary youth identity marker. your genre was your tribe (punk vs hip hop heads, ravers vs grunge kids).
Post 2010, social media, gaming, politics and meme culture have taken over as identity centers.
Music is often just a soundtrack for TikTok rather than the driver of the cultural narrative.
So even if something is huge (like K-pop or reggaeton), it often spreads as part of a larger content ecosystem rather than standing alone as a cultural movement.
There is also a shorter cultural half-life due to the speed of information transmission on the internet. A boom bap rap wave in the ’90s could last 5 years, whereas a viral genre today might peak in 5 months.
There’s no time to build shared mythology like a 'Enter the 36 Chambers' equivalent, before the next microtrend rolls in.
The 1960s–2000s were an anomaly in human history where mass media could create unified global “movements.” Now, music culture is permanently fractured. This in turn has removed incentives to create great music, as the economics no longer allow for it.
This is also why we have no great artists coming out of youth culture. There is no Elvis, MJ, Tupac or Robert Plant.
I think the last remaining great artist of the 1960s-2000s era is probably Kanye West, and that nigga pushing 50.
I think i just feel bad for the youth of today as they will only experience these cultures through mimickery of a "great era" vs creating something new.
If i were to extrapolate the closest thing to youth identity markers of the past and juxtapose it onto today. the closest comparison wouldnt even be in music, it would be something like these micro far right youth political movements (groypers etc) , which is kind of dark if you think about it lol.
