RE: Triggered interaction and the generation of value
I am glad I don't have the religious programming :)
I think being triggered has become more socially acceptable and that is part of the reason we see more of it in younger people.
There is no limit it seems to what can be made socially acceptable, as long as consumption keeps driving it. When I was a kid, fat children were considered unhealthy - these days, it is socially acceptable for a parent to feed a kid crap.
People my age made fun of overly emotional reactions.
Humor is a good way to temper emotions and cause reflection. These days it seems that real humor has been replaced by cruelty and attack under the label of humor - quite different.
I think these days in the real world, the thing that triggers me the most (besides my wife) is people sitting on phones while their children are around. It is kind of like "cats in the Cradle" except at least in that song, the Dad was working - these parents are just consuming.
It takes some time to learn how to remove certain programming for sure. Yet, on the flip side I have a lot of great values that I choose to keep. So it's a wash.
I think there will be a short lived embracing of the overly emotional, but because it doesn't work long-term, my expectation is reason will prevail.
Anyone who can't take or make a joke, is pretty hard for me to relate to.
Happy Holidays Tarazkp!
It would be nice if it was easier to identify and onboard the good and let the bad slide.
Have you noticed that there are plenty of people who can make, but not as many who can take these days?
Merry Holidaymas and New year to you too.
