   For uncounted generations in the West, people who are supposedly learned and intelligent have been announcing that God is dead, that some specific social institution they dislike is gone and that the existing economic structure of practices and institutions is kaput. Guess what? They were wrong. So is Professor DeGraff, just the most recent in a long line of those screaming about how the world didn’t turn out the way they wanted it to be. Most of the things for which boomers mock millennials are practical things, like not studying a major in college that offers a chance for a decent job, not being honest enough to find and marry a good woman (for men), not being sane enough to find and marry a good man (for women), for not having matured beyond the stage where they want their ice cream and want it now … real things, not trivia like how they dress or act or drink/smoke dope too much, etc. Substantive things that are fundamental to living a fully adult and human life. They prefer to remain child-like and dependent upon others for their existence and indeed even for their pleasures. By which I mean to say, if the millennials as a group “…has the big questions absolutely right…” then it is entirely possible that the next communist-ruled nation to emerge will be the long dreamed-of Utopia of peace and kindness. I, for one, am not holding my breath on any of those being the case.
