Are we the problematic generation?
In this episode of Curiosity Theory, astrophysicist Dr. Dakotah Tyler (@dr.starkid) and STEM educator and media producer Justin Shaifer (@mr.fascinate) unpack how fast culture is shifting, why kids see Justin as “unk,” how generational labels get created, and whether Justin’s TEDx talk helped cement the term “Gen Z.”
Topics include:
• How social media has created five-year “micro generations”
• Young people using AI as an operating system
• Whether an algorithm could make better decisions than human leaders
• Dolphin communication, Zipf’s Law, and overlooked animal intelligence
• How future generations might judge factory farming and eating animals
• Plant and fungal networks and whether societies behave like living systems
