I agree with your thrust according to which today's youngsters are very pleasant -- mild-mannered, conscientious, rational, tolerant. The ones I know are very likeable.

Wouldn't subscribe to the no-hope forecast though. We are going through a difficult phase of de-globalization and de-carbonization, including all the inflationary implications. Better times ahead may come not only due to technology, but also demographics -- Millennials and Z are big, at least in the U.S., which is the place to be (investment-wise) anyway. Some of my sources for this (possibly naive) optimism are Peter Zeihan, and Chris Ciovacco.
