Gen Z and their issues

On video anesthesiologist talk about how mental health are looking for from their side

Very interesting video. It tracks with the other social media issues that Gen Z are exploring, and be exploited with.

Just for referenec: Googling I found that pre-1945 we are the “Silent Generation”. Baby Boomers begin 1946 and run up to 1964. There's a gap between 1964 and 1966. Gen X from 1966 to 1980, and Gen Y 1980 to 1995, followed by Gen Z.

This young man is quite articulate and speaks intelligently about a number of issues....surprising that the video has not been censored and removed yet....but he is missing the fact that today's medical professionals and especially the medical educators have played a huge role in creating this social monstrosity. Today's young people are bombarded with what amounts to brainwashing that their parents are worthless, that they are worthless, and that they must embrace all this insanity. Social media becomes their caretakers. Educators do their best to sow division and hate at a very early age.

There is an actual being...I won't call it a person...out on the west coast teaching at UCSF and heading some type of pseudo mental health dept. of a children's hospital teaching young medical professionals that young children can "identify" as tootsie role pops and minotaurs. As fyi that is a mythical Greek creature that was half man and half bull and was created as a result of queen of the Greek island of Crete having sex with a bull and bearing it's child. Are we getting the picture here yet as to why we have an entire generation of helpless young people? A sane person could not make this stuff up if they tried to.

Top that off with the maniacal hysteria of filling our children's bodies with psychotropic drugs so that those children can easily handle the fact that they are tootsie roll pops and minotaurs. It makes the world of Alice in Wonderland look like an amazing picture of normality.

And then you have this well spoken young man talking about how kids who smoke pot daily must have double of higher doses of anesthesia due to the impacts of said dope on their mental capacities. That's a drop in the bucket compared to what is goin on around him right now.

For the first time in our history no one is looking out for the next generation and trying to make their lives better than the generation that preceded them. There's plenty of blame to go around, but the medical profession and the legalized drug cartels of big pharma have lost control of their mission and oath of ethics. I will say that this video at least provide a glimmer of hope that we still have yougn medical professionals that are alarmed by what they are seeing

Doc4u. We'll said. Scary times!

Doc4u72, FYI after tracing it back past the journalists who aren't always the greatest at reporting medical/technical stuff: The "tootsie roll" and "minotaur" seem to be more discussions on how TG individuals experience being transgender, and some of the other terms ("smoothie") may refer to either TG individuals or just those who may not wish to be forced into strict gender roles. No evidence of it being an expression of psychosis and actually feeling one is a minotaur.

GenZ problems are exasperated by the internet where you can “socialize “ under a stealth blanket. They are having Few real personal relationships and unrealistic expectations based on what they communicate virtually

As far as the video is concerned, an anesthesiologists job is to sedate people without killing them. Psychoanalysis isn’t his forte and he should stick to the gas. Don’t treat it as a truth serum. I didn’t buy into it.

It's like I tripped and fell into a lost episode of Tucker Carlson.

Gives new meaning to the phrase, "passing gas".

Oh good grief - this is a topic in a forum about "psychology". My name is not Tucker, I do not seek out intelligent advice from journalists or tv personalities, and I am not targeting my comments to anyone on this forum. My point in all of this is the use of language, both spoken and written, to influence society can have very serious consequences. And that's the topic...or at least I think it is....what on earth is happening to this recent generation that makes them unstable, unable to function, psychotically fixated on cell phones, and wanting to commit suicide.

The whole tootsie roll and minotaur language comes from a slide presentation...I think the terms were priuses and tauruses in the printed slide, and the entire 5 hour video of the event presenter going through all this. I'm not rejecting your comments moliere...just pointing out that this comes from an actual video presentation. The terms were elicited from children as young as 6 to describe themselves. Those of you who have raised kids will understand how those early developmental years work in terms of conjuring up invisible friends, pretending you are a transformer, it's all part of the human development process. You can get a kid to call themselves a toaster oven and make toast. It's not a literal thing but it's all in fun and helps their minds develop, but it's not so that you can impose some kind of label of whatever ideas you have as an adult on them.

Quote frankly I'm not even trying to evoke a discussion around what's going on with children and this adult fixation on sex. I will say it's not normal in my opinion and in fact is part of the generational issue. The target age from this group to begin to influence them with lables such as tootsie roll and so on is age 2 -, to give them drugs to interfere with their sexual development at age 13, and I think surgically removing body parts starting at age 16.

The fixations with adults influencing children are on everything from drugs to violence to sowing seeds of hate against just about everyone, including hate of themselves and breaking down their self worth. So let's get off the sex crap for a minute. There are many young people who carry autism into adulthood. This is a complicated world to understand. What normal people do is love and respect these individuals and find a path to help them throughout life. What if I started a movement to label autistic individuals, based on their particular version of autism, as bananas, donkeys, and tiddlywinks and convincing them to use this label on themselves. Is that appropriate? And I demanded that medical institutions, parents, teachers, adopted this language and applied it to certain autistic children and adults beginning at age 2. Language has some very deep consequences when used incorrectly. Hence the aforementioned group using the categories of...apples, oranges, and fruit salads....to describe individuals who are going through many conflicting emotions and place those labels upon themselves.....do you seriously think this is funny? Sounds cute doesn't it. This is how bullies operate...labeling a child or person who is somehow different with a name label. It's not even the name...it's not using language to be endearing, it's using language to convince someone that they must be thought of as different, not able to fit in, and that everyone else who is different and who do not have those labels are their enemies.

Like it or not it is tearing our kids live apart. That is shameful no matter what kink or sexual thought or preferences you personally have, where you like to travel, if you like to drink wine or beer, what sports team you cheer for.... anything and everything you want to experience as an adult. It's the Sesame Street question....what's different? what is so different about this generation that no other generation before it displayed?

I'd like to share with my personal opinion. I think that this guy open bowl of issues eh. unstable times, youth have too many options and then often regret it, no stable work, very high cost of life, health problems. Virtual world used as substitute of normal one, we are pushed on that but in the end of day many are overwhelmed on brain chemistry. Crisis wasn't as on old time-once due whole life where everything was much simpler-you had good work and didn't need higher edu. After 3-4 years of work, you been able to buy house by cash and wasn't issue to have few childrens.

Just for referenec: Googling I found that pre-1945 we are the “Silent Generation”. Baby Boomers begin 1946 and run up to 1964. There's a gap between 1964 and 1966. Gen X from 1966 to 1980, and Gen Y 1980 to 1995, followed by Gen Z.

It's all very good and well to create age/birth categories and think up cute (or ominous - take your pick) sounding names for them, but I hope that no one takes the cut off dates seriously, as if someone born in 1979 were obviously and identifiably different from someone born in 1981.

I may be categorized as being from the Baby Boomer age group, but when it comes to many attitudes and character traits, I often feel more attuned and in line with those from the pre-war generation.

Where one was born and primarily raised may be more important than when.
