I think there is a certain arrogance for us to define gen Z as wholesale suffering from mental illness. After all, what is mental illness if it is no longer something affecting the minority but maybe something approachig the majority? The same question comes up around Aaron Bushnell, the US airman who burned himself alive outside some US government buildings in protest against what he could see was mass brutality carried out on innocents, children.

Mainstream calls his mindset insanity, whilst standing by watching innocents being brutalised with seemingly no feeling at all, just distraction, pointing to other atrocities done in history.

Which one is insane, the one who kills themselves in protest, or everyone else who just watches or even participates in what he was protesting about?

Add to this the information that profit, which all business currently runs on, including pretty much all science, is an ultimately planet destroying energy lie, at the root also of all slavery and all colonialism, and being a fundamental lie, invalidates all contracts ever made between humans, and the analysis is complete - it isn't gen Z who are insane for maybe sensing all of this whilst the system tries to condition them into believing in it like it did us, but us, who are insane, for allowing ourselves to be conditioned by it.

Its the unsustainable, planet destroying negative energy powered system that is insane, not Gen Z, imho.

I hope we change it soon, rather than trying to change Gen Z, because this is the only way there might be any future for any of us.

Btw, on Moore's law, like the amount of extracted energy that can ultimately be used, how far it actually can go will probably be limited by social factors, not the physical law continuing as if nothing can stop it. It will stop, when we decide we've had enough, it seems to me.

Personally I believe the power we are seeing in current PCs is as much as we will ever see, its way more than needed, even for Ai. The ultimate Ai has already been achieved, across a large population of these machines working in distributed mode, all powered in turn by the distributed and free energy of the sun. The growth remaining for it is what it needs to get to an adult state, which is easily achievable by the current state of complexity of computing. I don't see Moores law continuing much longer - it doesn't need to.
