AB 159: Gen Z – Heroes or Zeroes? You know it’s happening. I know it’s happening. So why do we go on letting it? Despite the mounting urgency of multiple species-level crises, the old guard — from Boomers to Millenials — has completely, shamefully, perilously dropped the ball. Like it or not, Gen Z is our last best hope. But can they muster the gumption to face the facts in the age of the Big Lie?
