Generation Z or Alpha?

How will the experiences of Z and Alpha influence our societies, especially toward topics of this blog: aggressors?

Gen Alpha is the generation following Gen Z and currently includes all children born in or after 2010—the same year the iPad was born. The majority of this demographic is under 12 years of age, but the oldest of them will become teens in 2022.

Generation Z (or Gen Z for short), colloquially also known as zoomers,[1][2] is the demographic cohort succeeding Millennials and preceding Generation Alpha. Researchers and popular media use the mid-to-late 1990s as starting birth years and the early 2010s as ending birth years.[3] Most members of Generation Z are children of Generation X.

As the first social generation to have grown up with access to the Internet and portable digital technology from a young age, members of Generation Z have been dubbed "digital natives",[4][5] even though they are not necessarily digitally literate.[6] Moreover, the negative effects of screen time are most pronounced on adolescents compared to younger children.[7] Compared to previous generations, members of Generation Z in some developed nations tend to be well-behaved, abstemious, and risk-averse.[8] They tend to live more slowly than their predecessors when they were their age,[9][10] have lower rates of teenage pregnancies, and consume alcohol less often,[11][12] but not necessarily other psychoactive drugs.[13][14] Generation Z teenagers are more concerned than older generations with academic performance and job prospects,[8][9] and are better at delaying gratification than their counterparts from the 1960s, despite concerns to the contrary.[15] Sexting among adolescents has grown in prevalence though the consequences of this remain poorly understood.[16] Meanwhile, youth subcultures have been quieter, though they have not necessarily disappeared.[17][18]

Globally, there is evidence that the average age of pubertal onset among girls has decreased considerably compared to the 20th century,[19][20] with implications for their welfare and their future.[19][21][22][23] In addition, adolescents and young adults in Generation Z have higher rates of allergies,[24][25] higher awareness and diagnoses of mental health problems,[8][11][26][27] and are more likely to be sleep-deprived.[5][28][29] In many countries, Gen Z youth is more likely to have diagnosed intellectual disabilities and psychiatric disorders than older generations.[30][31]

Around the world, members of Generation Z are spending more time on electronic devices and less time reading books than before,[32][33][34] with implications for their attention span,[35][36] their vocabulary[37][38] and thus their school grades,[39] as well as their future in the modern economy.[32] In Asia, educators in the 2000s and 2010s typically sought out and nourished top students whereas in Western Europe and the United States, the emphasis was on low-performers.[40] In addition, East Asian and Singaporean students consistently earned the top spots in international standardized tests during the 2010s.[41][42][43][44]

I truly believe that gens Z and Alpha will be so influenced, impacted, and opened by what they've seen in world climate change, violence and assault in Russia and Africa, and other dystopics of our time, that they'll be open, softened, and ready to solve the deepest issues.

There is today, a crisis in Africa. Well, there are actually many, where displacement, violence, hostage taking, and genocides are taking place. Yes, genocides: today.

One deepest issue of this blog, apart from climate crises, is that:

1. Humans Do naively ignore the dangers of the Dark Disordered: the entrenched and dangerous Narcissistic Disorder Persons, and the worldwide psychopaths. These are two disordered persons, part of possibly 10% worldwide, are those leading and recruiting others (recruit, radicalize, con, hypnotize, promise inclusion / wealth / community parties held at the Dictator's villa in the jungle forest or mansion on Long Island).

2. Concepts that come from this naivete are part and parcel of our human history, one where history may be 95% about this taking and it's victims, from the Roman Conquest to the Inquisitions.

See what could happen if we knew 1 and 2:
