I see my whole generation being burnt out of this however.
I see that happening too, but at the same time I’m also witnessing their workload and demands on them being smaller than what it used to be (already at school), and their work conditions being greatly improved compared to previous times. There’s clearly a systemic problem somewhere, as I don’t think whole generations can suddenly be simply worse than previous ones, but at the same time it’s crystal clear that the problem is not “too much work”.
Jonathan Haidt has written about this a few times before[0], and his latest book[1] is coming in a few months. Should be interesting.
