I delivered a keynote to Coca Cola's leadership after being invited to give them the lay of the land on Gen Z and Alpha. Instead of relying on buzzwords like "digital natives," "side hustles," or "climate activists," I focused on the complex realities these generations actually face. What emerged wasn't a simple story about screen addiction, but a generation confronting profound instability across every dimension of life.

Instead of relying on buzzwords like "digital natives," "side hustles," or "climate activists," I focused on the complex realities these generations actually face. What emerged wasn't a simple story about screen addiction, but a generation confronting profound instability across every dimension of life. This perspective directly challenges the prevailing narrative that screentime and social media are primarily responsible for youth isolation and anxiety. While Jonathan Haidt has prominently advocated this connection (and his concerns have merit) emerging research suggests this framework oversimplifies a far more messy and layered reality. Digital habits represent just one factor among many interconnected influences shaping young lives today. The data paints a stark picture: Nearly one-third of young adults aged 16-24 are 'very worried' about climate change, watching environmental crises escalate in real-time across news and social feeds. Democracy itself feels precarious to 63% of UK youth. Economic anxiety dominates their world—a recent UK study confirms cost of living as their primary concern, while the Prince's Trust NatWest Youth Index reveals half of 16-25-year-olds believe economic hardship has wounded them more deeply than the pandemic. Across the Atlantic, 61% of young Americans aged 18-34 live with constant layoff anxiety, and perhaps most telling, more than half report their lives feel devoid of meaning or purpose. THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE PHONES. When we fixate on screentime and social media, we pursue a convenient fall guy while ignoring harsh realities. Young people today navigate unprecedented challenges: economic precarity, geopolitical instability, the erosion of traditional pathways in work and education, AI's looming disruption of career prospects, and accelerating climate catastrophes. Banning phones is a superficial solution to profound problems. The evidence is unignorable and demands our attention. When multiple existential threats converge, anxiety becomes a reasonable response. By reducing these legitimate concerns to mere screentime debates, we not only miss opportunities to address root causes, we invalidate young people's justified fears. If we truly want to support the next generation, we must confront the full spectrum of pressures they face with honest, comprehensive solutions, not convenient scapegoats that let us avoid truly seeing the world we've created for them. | 86 comments on LinkedIn

I decided to start checking LinkedIn again, and my entire feed is:

AI
AI
AI
AI is evil
AI
AI
AI
uspol
AI

And about a thousand ads interspersed.

I'm not even anti-AI like many of you, I think it has legitimate uses, but seeing the dramatic takeover in my industry, I see the writing on the wall. Time for me to look for my next thing.

Je fais une recherche @kagihq sur le terme "xkcdpunk", pour savoir si quelqu’un l’avait déjà utilisé.

Je découvre une publication Linkedin qui commence par : "I am excited to announce the publication of a new blog post that explores the transition from Offpunk to XKCDpunk. This piece delves into the significance of this shift, offering insights…"

À peine publié, mes billets de blogs sont déjà repompés. Mal.

Bravo à celleux qui soutiennent cela en restant sur #linkedin

@wortsalatfinchen @susannelilith Ja, das stimmt, solche Aspekte wie Datenschutz sind für viele einfach lästig. #LinkedIn ist in der Tat auch eine US-Krake, die aber neben #Meta und #X etwas untergeht. Das Problem, dass man nicht weiß, man mit den dortigen Daten dann geschieht, gilt aber natürlich auch hier ...

Am besten ist einfach, das Weite zu suchen, auch wenn man wichtige Kontakte verliert. In diesen Tagen von #Trump und #Musk muss man sich einfach "gerade machen".

Estoy pensando en hacerme una cuenta fake en #LinkedIn y empezar a fardar de que todo lo hago con la #ia

Tenía problemas de control de ira, así que decidí conversar con Chat GPT. La solución era tan clara que no entendí como no lo había visto hasta ahora. Tan sólo necesitaba un pasamontañas y un fusil de pesca...

¿Me ayudáis dándome ideas?

Continued thread

"Des hommes avec des positions ou des hommes avec des descriptions lui proposaient presque des postes. D’abord un café. Jamais un entretien."

"Ils t’envoient des messages gênés tous les jours et ils deviennent méchants le jour où tu ne souris pas, le jour où tu refuses."

Ich lese Recruiter-Nachrichten auf #LinkedIn nur noch, um ihnen gegebenfalls rückzumelden, dass "hYbRiD WoRk (X TaGe/WoChE iM OfFiCe)" Schrott ist und ich in der ersten Nachricht eine Gehaltsangabe erwarte.

Secondo #Reuters il fisco italiano contesta evasione #IVA a #Meta, #X e #Linkedin

Gli importi sarebbero di 887 milioni per #Meta, 12,5 per X e 140 per Linkedin

Il motivo: i dati raccolti sugli utenti sono equiparabili a transazioni economiche tassabili

Se questo principio fosse ritenuto valido avremmo due possibili ricadute:
- l'estensione di questi procedimenti a livello EU
- la loro estensione a chiunque offre servizi in cambio di dati personali

Forse, "ouch!"

So I've been adding a number of outdoor photographers, athletes and climate/diversity/access advocates to my LinkedIn and within days slop AI, cyber influencer "hot takes" and general tech cringe have been replaced by beautiful alpine photography, people of all sorts being epic, kinder interactions, less US-centric and people with enviable life-long missions.

Is it the Tech sector that makes LinkedIn unbearable?

💯 do recommend de-teching and diversifying your LinkedIn.
