tbf the stereotype of young people being happier and more active and carefree has to do with the societal expectations involved with the age too, at least on my experience.

i don't think anything says we couldn't ease up as a society with trying to make everyone miserable for a change.

being existentially afraid of new tech instead of excited for the possibilities is a terribly capitalist problem to have.
