There is a silent confidence in many people born in the 1960s and 1970s. It is not swagger. It is not the loud certainty of those who shout their choices into the void. It is the quieter habit of deciding without waiting for consensus. Call it habit call it temperament but it shows up everywhere … Read more

There is a particular stubbornness in the way people born after 1980 tell the story of childhood independence as if it were invented by apps and helicopter parents gone mad. That is not true. The 1960s and 1970s taught independence at an early age in practical and strange ways and not only as a slogan … Read more

There is a particular stubbornness to those born in the 1960s and 1970s. Not stubborn in a comic way but stubborn in the way a hinge resists rot. They keep company with lived consequences rather than with shiny promises. This piece argues that when many people of these decades say they trust experience more than … Read more

There is a stubborn patch of memory I keep returning to when I think about responsibility as a lived lesson rather than a lesson on a timetable. It smells faintly of linoleum and petrol and boiled eggs. It is the bruise on a knee that never became a crisis because someone said get back up … Read more

There is a stubborn, quiet fact about people born in the 1960s and 1970s that most popular think pieces get wrong. They are not simply nostalgic or old fashioned. They finish things. Projects. Jobs.

There is a growing, oddly candid consensus among psychologists: people raised in the 1960s and 1970s have brains and emotional habits shaped by a world that no longer exists. That sentence is simple and dangerous at once. It implies advantage and blind spot. It suggests resilience and unprocessed loss. It creates a narrative that many … Read more

There is a slippery idea going around that people who grew up in the 1960s and 1970s carry a quietly different inner life from later generations. It is not nostalgia dressed up as research. Psychologists are noticing patterns in how childhoods shaped by fewer conveniences and more day to day friction produce people with a … Read more

There is an odd calm that settles over a room when someone born in the 1960s or 1970s shrugs at a tiny calamity. A kettle boils over. A flight is delayed. A phone battery dies. Others gasp, fret, produce a flurry of notifications and then apologize to the air for losing control. The person from … Read more

There is a stubborn truth in my head that I keep returning to when I talk to friends born between 1955 and 1975. They complain about stiff shoulders at work or the way an argument can still land like a freight train. And yet many of them also carry an uncanny capacity to pause under … Read more
