- Generational thinking is a really big idea that’s been horribly corrupted by endless stereotypes, clichés and fake battles - this talk seeks to help you separate the generational myths and realities. Bobby Duffy is Professor of Public Policy and Director of the Policy Institute. He has worked across most public policy areas in his career of 30 years in policy research and evaluation, including being seconded to the Prime Minister’s Strategy Unit.
Bobby sits on several advisory boards including Chairing both the Campaign for Social Science and the CLOSER Advisory Board, is a member of the Executive of the Academy of Social Sciences, a trustee of British Future and the Centre for Transforming Access and Student Outcomes in Higher Education (TASO) and a Senior Fellow of the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy, University of Toronto.
His first book, The Perils of Perception - Why we’re wrong about nearly everything, looked at how people misperceive key social realities. His latest book, Generations - Does when you’re born shape who you are?, came out in September 2021 and seeks a greater understanding around generational challenges. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
People are more than labels. Am aging Boomer that ended up in poverty. I just can't believe the altered world, we ended up in. Very little that I envisioned growing up. Feel sorry for the youth.
If my work had payed me as equal as my grandparents,,maybe the issues would be more tolerable,,,cost of living and lack of pay grade in comparison is ridiculous and is the root cause of strife..hmmmm
Yeah
If the government that we elected didnt purposely inflate our currency and devalue it, then we would still have value.. remember your grandparents were paid $8/hr and more rich than people being paid 25/hr today. Don't blame your work.. it's not their fault.
Yeah, let’s not forget about Gen X, the independent Generation and forgotten ones.
The latchkey kids?
I was going to mention this. How true to form that Gen X is literally forgotten in the video title...
@@brandonhoffman9202 came here to say the exact same thing! This is almost amazing at this point.
Boomer is a state of mind, not an age. This is a boomer comment you posted.

Why are we not talking about the silent generation? They are an amazing group of people- from a millennial. ‘Pre-war’ might be British for the silent generation.
Probably because most of them are 85 - dead 🤣
While a lot of great things have been said about the silent generation, we have to remember too that generation institutionalized people for being only very slightly different. Institutions that treated them horribly. Cerebral palsy? Locked up. Stubborn woman?Locked up? Mild Intellectual disability? Locked up. And so on, and drugged and abused and not treated with any humanity. No matter how we want to label a generation and the zeitgeist that propelled it long, they are all people after all, and everyone has faults.
Boomer is a state of mind, not an age. This is a boomer presentation.
And the name Karen gets used for EVERYTHING! I’m quite tired of it and it drives my 83-year-old Mom crazy. “I should have named you Jordan!”
The "Karen" thing doesn't really apply to the name but the attitude. There was the "male Karen" before people started calling them Keith or Kevin. Still I can see how it would be frustrating to hear your name as an insult. It may take longer to say but I think I prefer taking the time to saying "entitled b@#!$" vs the new fad of Karen but that is just me. Hope your days get better. 🙂
The use of Karen as a term to abuse white, older, assertive woman is vile. Misogyny aimed at women who dare to assert themselves. Older white women need to shut up and know their place, right?
"Our pleasure in an tendentious joke arises from the satisfaction of an intention or tendency which - the satisfaction - would not otherwise have taken place.
The prevention of an insult or an abusive reply by external circumstances happens so often that the tendentious joke is a particular favorite for use in enabling criticism or aggression towards persons in high places who claim authority. The joke then represents a rebellion against such authority, a liberation from the oppression it imposes." _~Sigmund Freud_
Can you explain a bit what does it mean?
Can somebody tell me how we call people born in 1998
I mean
Is that millennials or gen Z? I'm confused 😭
Zillennial
@@Dee226 😅
Gen x forgotten again. We didn't even make the title... 🙄 At least we're actually in the TED Talk
Labelling was also cleverly misused in racism and in such activities going even way back to religion based segregation, slavery, and by Nasi Germans and many other formats. People knowingly misused and some feared such labels.
But they also contain many truths about the kiddies of today! BAD truths!

U.S.A. GENERATIONAL MONEY-TRANSFER
Gen -BabyBoomers *AGE 1946-64 (58-76)
Generation -X *AGE. 1965-79 (43-57)
Xmillennial *AGE. 1975-1985 (37-47)
Millennium *AGE-1980-94 (28-42)
Generation-Z *AGE. 1995-2012 (10-27)
Gen-Alpha *AGE. 2013-Present
And as usual, Gen X is left out, not even in the title
Boomer bussy is the best
It’s a problem that younger people are less likely to get off their behind and vote.

Eh

Jesus loves you and is coming back soon!
Believe in His death and resurrection and repent of your sins and be saved!
Remember that He died and rose up again for you to be in heaven with Him!
Have an amazing day ☺️❤
@@Gg-ij7li I think I’ll pass on that, thanks.
@@Gg-ij7li Jesus was a pleb :)
That’s what a boomer would say
😂
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Or a millennial nappy soiler
Or a Gen X if you have the attention span to watch until the end
Young people call everyone older than them a boomer and they believe they’re so clever while saying it.
That’s because nobody cares about gen X
I remember when ted talks were filled with useful information
I enjoyed this one, personally. There have been more than 13,000 Ted Talks of different topics to date. I find some useful and interesting and others to be boring. It's all entirely subjective.
Yes, every Ted Talk used to be filled with useful info. /s
These are Tedx - different thing
🙀I just discovered that I might be a *snowflake*!!!
Well, sucks for you guys, I guess
🙃😉😁😏😶🌫️
(I'm 43, btw😬😁)
OK boomer
Ok W@nker
Ok W@nker
Gen X, he’s a Gen X if you watch to the end. But so clever right? If only you did it first you’d have more thumbs and feel better about yourself.
Yes, people have always thought that "kids today" are they worst, but the difference is that today's kids are objectively the worst because they're dramatically different than kids in the past since they're growing up in a vastly different world; today's kids are growing up in a small, connected world of smartphones and the Internet where they are exposed to the entire planet and all cultures from birth, which sounds like a good thing, but the Internet lets them feel anonymous in the universal childhood phenomenon of bullying, and worse, they're connected with others to share their bad idiosyncrasies ("basement-dwellers" no longer feel like they have to hide their debased urges because they learn there are others like them).
10:27 This graph is specious. Baby-boomers were 40 decades before gen-x were 40, so of course any money they invested will have grown to more in those decades so that by the time gen-x turn 40, the money baby-boomers had is more. Duh. 🙄 If anything, baby-boomers could/would/should have LESS money than later generations at the same age due to inflation. If a 20yo baby-boomer puts $1,000 in their checking account, by the time gen-x turns 20, that $1,000 is worthless.
12:35 There's a reason that apocalypse movies are so popular these days, they're a fantasy for younger people; they get to imagine a world where useless rich rectums who get paid untold amounts of money to take a few phone-calls and meetings collapse and everybody has to survive based on their skills and knowledge (not that most young people would be able to survive in a post-apocalyptic world where they can't do anything without their phones or even with their phones without the Internet 😒). Actually, this might also explain the popularity of "ancient technology" channels, where people fantasize about abandoning the modern world and going back to primitive times and doing everything from scratch with their bare hands… 🤔
14:07 What ever happened to "Generation Y"? The ones after Generation X and before Millennials? Who decided to redefine the generations and group some GenYs as GenX and some as Millennials? 🤨 Was there a referendum on that? 🤔
1) The graph is organized by people's age, not by calendar year. It compares how much money & property different generations had accumulated on average when they were the same age.
2) Millennials is the nickname for generation Y.
Okay boomer
he loves Billie Eilesh? LOLLLL wtfffffff
