Uncanny

There is something blatantly uncanny about spending your adolescence in the wake of a global multi-crisis, that is seemingly perpetual or even irreversible. Though this might be a historically recurrent experience, there is something particular about the crisis we, Gen Z, are facing this time. What insinuates to make it more loathsome and clowny than previous momentum of crisis might have been, is the dimension and backlash of the ruling generational chasm. We find ourselves in an era where produced technological, intellectual and social commodities have nearly completely overtaken the systems own capacity to reabsorb and cultivate them in a very traditional, institutionalized academic manner. We therefore find ourselves in a crisis fed and driven by predominantly archaic boomer governments, that couldn’t possibly have more opposite aims and understandings of the world than us.
