As a member of Generation X, I would say that it’s not going to be much better.

Just look at, say, Elon Musk as an example of the kind of people from my generation who get to positions of influence.

Most GenX are the product of the Neoliberal era, so have interiorized the whole “lookout for numero uno” idea of how to be in society and whilst commonly aware of things like Climate Change, they’re usually unwilling to inconvenience themselves for the sake of fighting against it, quite the contrary even (just look at how well SUVs sell), and similarly when it comes to Consumerism, they seem to be the most prone to wasteful consumption (the kind of people who replace their mobile phones every year or two).

In summary, Gen X generally are more well informed than Boomers but even less principled than them.
