    You and me are pretty similar ages.

    I do have some Gen X friends who I think are not doing much better.

    I wonder it being a “digital native” gives some level of defense against this kind of stuff versus people who were born when information was newspapers, radio, and the TV news one hour out of the day.

      GenX here - certainly in my friendship circle we’re doing better because we grew through both the start of home computing and the beginning of the home internet etc… we remember what it was like before the social media and 10 second videos crap and are generally using the current tech without it
