Dr. Fisher, fearologist, philosopher-artist-educationist, argues that the stream of recent social critics are unduly neglectful of important contexts, as they condemn the younger generation(s) Gen-Z, Millennials for being 'too soft' and 'too interior'--and thus, overly-therapized. These social critics (Jordan Peterson, Frank Furedi, Abagail Shrier, Jonathan Haidt, etc.) are (for the majority) multi-millionaires and white privileged elite 'warrior class' folks, claims Fisher, with a long history of a pervading fear of collapse of civilization. They can't stand critical theory, postmodernism and decolonization agendas and politics. They want to keep things the way they were, and they believe "progress" is still "progress" and that worldview is fine and needs no repair and re-visioning. They see "wokeness" (wokeism) as de-evolutionary. And, they have no concept of "adultism" (from a critical theory point of view)--a term I slip in at the very end of the video.

But they don't admit their fear and pretend to be rational (enlightened) in their biased analysis of the data they pick and/or create in their "studies" of what is going wrong with the next generation. Fisher offers fresh new and non-binary arguments for 'third' alternatives in understanding the problem of the 'generation gap' and all its complex issues. He especially asserts that the critics above ignore what a coping culture is and a healing culture--which is a disastrous error in their analysis and solutions.

Erratum:
"Officially" (albeit, largely arbitrary in division): Millennials came of age in 2000 (thus 1981-1996) and Gen Z (born in 1997 and coming of age in 2020s).
