Generations are an invention of malicious apes

Spiteful prejudice and discrimination based on the year of your birth.

Every time I see another person ranting and raving about “Generation X”, “Boomers”, “Millennials”, etc., I feel so glad that I do not know the meanings of these fake generational labels nor which “generation” I supposedly belong to.

They are so stupid. What if I am right on the edge between two of these so-called “generations”? For example, if I was born just one year earlier, would that make me “Generation X” instead of “Generation Y” or whatever?

That is outright absurd. Being born one year earlier would have no significant effect on my personality, but if you believe all the prejudicial “generation” crap, then being born just one year earlier would change everything about me and people’s judgements of me!

For that reason, I deliberately ensure that I never know or remember what generation X, Y, Z, or Boomers or Doomers or Zoomers means. I will not look them up or memorize them, because they are useless, meaningless nonsense.

In reality, people are not born in generational waves separated by years with no births. People are born every year. Therefore, generations do not exist in the real world. It should be obvious that babies do not arrive in batches with the same attitudes, values, and personality.

“Generation X” is just some imaginary concept that some people invented out of thin air, and then other people copied it without realizing that it is not a real thing. In addition to being Not A Real Thing, it is harmful to call anyone “Generation X” because this labeling promotes prejudice, stereotyping, and division.

I have never seen anybody using generational labels in a rational and useful manner. I have only ever seen these labels used in pejorative ways to insult or dismiss people.

“Oh you’re a Boomer. Boomers know nothing.”

People are already overflowing with hate for each other. Why make our situation even worse by dividing people into fake generation-tribes and encouraging these stupid generation-tribes to hate each other?

Tribal people try hard to convince us that these generational labels should dictate how we view other people, and how we should treat them, and even what our own personality must be. In reality, the “generations” are entirely artificial constructions with no real meaning or value.

The “generations” are just another dumb excuse to form artificial tribes and fight each other like the other ape species do. There will never be a civilized, ethical, fair society so long as tribal apes are allowed to vote.

Imagine if the Earth had a country where tribal apes are not allowed to reside at all. Such a country would be almost a utopia. It would be beyond all doubt the best country in the world.

Tribal apes reduce somebody’s worth and personality down to the year that they were born in. That is a nasty thing to do. Some people are creative, some people are inspiring, some people are troublesome, some people are empathic, and their year of birth is not the cause of these characteristics.

We need more people with intellectual curiosity, rational thinking, critical thinking skills, impartiality, and the willingness to implement the changes that are essential to create a functioning healthy society. The fake generations do not produce these traits.

There is already far too much division in the world. Let’s not make it even worse. Let’s say “No” to everybody that uses these generational labels to insult people and to drive hateful division amongst people. Let’s aim to be better.
