Reminds me that the whole concept of generations is something manufactured of whole cloth and meant to divide us, but more than that, that real people are compassionate and understanding. All that stuff is just fake.

It gives me hope for unity.

    it feels like theres more to generational computation than just a temporally-similar social group.

    ie, im sure geneticists have a differing view of ‘generation’ than the pew research group.

      Yeah, but now we’re drifting into specialized fields and I would suspect that geneticists ignored all the traditional labels in the first place. I’d imagine they define things like that by the rise of a particular mutation, for example.

      Generation, as a laymen term, is exactly that. A temporally similar social group.
