Shiftheads - What Boomers and Gen Z Actually Have In Common

Ask a boomer and a Gen Zer what they share and you'll get blank stares from both. Greg Fish has a one-word answer for what's really going on, and it has nothing to do with age. He walks through what happened between a childhood with five TV channels and a childhood with an infinite scroll, and why that shift in choice quietly rewired how an entire generation decides who deserves a platform and who doesn't. There's a harder question buried in here too, about what a generation raised without the security boomers had is actually searching for, and what happens to compromise, politics, and everything built on it if that search keeps going the way it's going.
