“I’m jealous of how artistic people became due to boredom. If you didn’t play an instrument, sing, write, draw, or SOMETHING, you’d be bored off your ahh. Now it’s so easy to constantly entertain ourselves. We have fewer opportunities for boredom and thus fewer times when our brains are naturally seeking out a creative exercise.”

"The confidence and lack of social anxiety. I'm usually considered a talkative guy. My friends make me be the one to sit next to the Uber driver because I'm a talker. I'll approach people and start conversations. But compared to boomers and Gen X, I wouldn't even be considered talkative. I'd be considered about average. They just naturally talk to each other more."

"In the early 2000s, it was weird to have security cameras except in obvious areas. Now, every block is lit up from every angle with 20-plus cameras, and we really don’t even think about it."

"I fucking yearn for the removal of social media. Give me back slow and spontaneous social lives. I am an old zoomer and only briefly felt this life."
