Generation" who had to deal with the Great depression, WW2 and the Spanish flu just to name a few things but they seem to be quite different in how it affected them. The only constant in life is change, so if climbing can teach you one thing; might as well learn to live in the moment.
@@tshorty90210 the US came out of WW2 as THE remaining superpower/economy, with endless optimism for an open future. Things are entirely different now.
Social media. That's what it's from. Did you hear how much he talked about it? He's a kid that grew up with THAT as a significant part of his life! Social media is terrible for kids!
