The 'greatest generation' & their parents built the world order we live in today. They built the foundations for space travel, globalisation, international law, etc.

Millennials and Gen Z need to frame a response to that. Here are a few thoughts on that...
We need to build a world where no one has to be sent to a gulag, or prison because of their faith, politics, ethnicity or any other such issue.
We need a world where every member of society lives freely, and maximally. Where no one is held back because of prejudice.

We need to build a world where everyone and anyone can have access to opportunity and the ability to exercise their talents.
We need to build a world where freedom of thought is celebrated, not cancelled.

Where civility is celebrated, where understanding is sought, & differences celebrated. Where compassion comes before demonisation.

Where people actually treat others as they too would like to be.
Last year George Floyd was killed with impunity by irresponsible policemen. We were all (rightly) angered by what we saw.

Egregious as that was--in the time since, many innocents have been killed or raped in Tigray, there are gulags with up to a million people in Xinjiang...
Myanmar is receding back into a Junta ruled dictatorship...the examples are endless.

Seems weird to think that people who died almost 80 years ago were more audacious than we are.

We can do better.
