Conclusion is rubbish. Its not entirely the parents' fault. It's more the fault of horrible public schools and their biased non-merit based environment. Forcing talented people to waste time in a class of average and lower than average people is foolishness. Not rewarding those who excel is foolish. Government schools are a significant part of the problem, but government schools were not staffed by brilliant people 50 years ago either. Yet students were able to understand that hard work would be rewarded. (Or maybe they were conned into believing it.;^) Today it's easy to see that more often than not hard work even by those who are above average intelligence does not often result in success- because the business world is more corrupted and less a meritocracy than it was 50 or 100 years ago. Yet these young people can't see that the cause of that is the socialism that they feel is the solution. They are taking jobs working for the enemy - working for the feds which is the only place where job growth exists. Will they ever realize their error?

In my Algebra II class we would call this an Extraneous Solution. He worked the problem correctly and everything is laid out well but the answer he arrived at is TOTAL BULL SH!T! This is where he needs to go back and examine his conclusion and see if it makes any sense.

Obviously those of us who are here see the fallacy of his conclusion. The real question is how do we open their eyes to this fallacy. Personally I fight this fight on a daily basis. Occasionally I do make a difference but mostly I feel as if I am on a Quixotic mission. I will still tilt at wind mills though!

I agree with you. The ending was rubbish, because when it's all said and done, you as an individual are in charge of yourself. No one ever had a perfect childhood, so my advice would be to quit being a snowflake, stop blaming others, and be happy that you live in a country where you can still be the best that you can be..

The false information this generation has been taught .Everyone is a winner, everyone is special just for being. Two parents working , they felt guilty so they didn't instill any discipline.
This has caused cognitive dissonance .

He has pegged the group and their issue pretty well, however, his conclusion does not compute, illogical. It is NOT up to corporations to be nannies to this bunch of misguided, entitlement babies. The school system screwed them up with their "peers will be there always for you", "you are the best" and telling them their parents know nothing. Schools tell them capitalism is bad. They tell parents they are not capable of raising their child, let them do it. Even my daughter, born in 1984, but who read "Anthem: at nine, can't stand millennials working under her. Kids needed to be shown the big picture: you deserve only what you earn, your work your way up by working well, your life is what you make it, not what is handed to you. They would not be such fragile snowflakes had they been introduced to Objectivism early on.

It is not surprising that the nanny state has created these parasites and that guy's solution is to keep doing it for the rest of their life and providing more of the same for generations to come. What will become of them when all the workers are gone and there are nothing but drones?

Admittedly the parents are probably the most culpable for the current state of millennial angst. However I would also place blame on a liberal culture that erroneously fosters victimhood mentalities based on race, sex, education...you name it. Everyone is a bloody victim, and this pessimistic ideology leads to nothing but envy, despair and depression. Socialism also preaches counterproductive hatred of the wealthy, and promulgates the ridiculous fantasy that equality of outcome is achievable. The big lie that millennials all sooner or later butt heads with. The effects of this thinking are at least as disastrous as overly nonjudgmental parenting.

Speaking as one of those millennials this does not describe my life at all. I think this video is full of gross exaggerations. What about looking at it this way.. every generation of young people starts out thinking they are invincible and they can change the world. They idealize everything and are subsequently crushed when reality hits them in the face. Back in the 60's and 70's you boomers had a bunch of people that bummed around in communes and joined cults because you wanted to feel like you belonged to something, isn't that what young people do before they experience life and "grow up" and become responsible? Cults, social media, binge watching Netflix, communes, pot, LSD and whatever drugs my parents were doing in the 70's before I was born, what is the difference?

Once you learn all those lessons about hard work and the reality of the world and find yourself dead broke and unhappy in your 20's, most people start to get it and become productive citizens. I've met so many people in their 50's and 60's today who are perpetual moochers, but they are few and far between - It will be the same with this generation. I started out working for a corporation, I hated it and vowed never to do that again. I now work for a small company owned by a couple in their 70's. They specifically look for millennials to work for them because they don't want their company to stagnate, they realize they need to change, if not, their business will die. So far this has worked out really well for both sides. Maybe some day my company will become a big "evil" corporation. That would probably be good since my generation has been slapped with an enormous debt thanks to some previous generation of people we will leave unnamed for now :) Seriously though - can we just stop generalizing people because it makes them easier to complain about? I just want to say I see a lot of good things in this generation that you might not see because I spend my time with many people my age and younger. We are not a lost cause and we don't need any special help or sympathy as this video implies at the end.

Sincerely,
A Millennial Whippersnapper

When I see most analysis of the Millennials, I am always reminded of the Eloi in H.G. Wells' "The Time Machine." The Eloi had a purpose.

When me dino saw the tail end of the video along with hearing applause, I thought of Fire Down Below with Steven Seagal in it.
Yeah, good ole' Steve took on a dirty polluting corporation.
At that tail end of the flick, if I remember correctly, Steve and his girlfriend outruns a fireball after blowing that stinking corporation to smithereens.
Yay! Down with corporations! Who needs them anyway?
