Well, the preceding generations with all their intellectual ability combined did bankrupt our nation and reserves to an extent that until caught between a wall and a hard place didn't even bother to come out of their socialist utopia dream. Till the prospect of having a plate full of food for themselves started to vanish, poverty was a topic relegated to dinner table conversations, of pity... not ever having any intent or idea to combat the malaise.
We are engineers, and the entirety of modern civilization rests on our work and shoulders. Engineering and hard sciences gives us the ability to think logically and not fall prey to eloquent words of brainwashing carefully placed in libraries. We make the world work and we understand how the world works. The entire credibility of Universities is based on their triumph in Hard sciences and engineering, where as the pseudonym parasitic "Social Sciences" have sneakily usurped the same. No Book worm has ever created history while sitting in library, he has never been a hero to his people. Its a pity, what we call as "social sciences" (and they dare suffix science to their voodoo) was correctly relegated to streets debates and the entertainment of despotic rulers/kings and their courtesans have found their way into Universities.
The Intellectual compendium, and contribution of all generations of such as the above species COMBINED has lesser value than the few line of codes of "instruction set architecture" that makes the very device, on which you typed your words, function.
Well the old generation (the one that came before the millenials) gave ourselves a democracy, a constitution, conceived rights of freedom and equallity not known in our parts for a milenium, they dreamed about space and laid the foundation for its exploration, when they could barely make two ends meet. These may not seem outstanding achievements, but they were not easily achieved. Trust me on this, there were societies that took the baby steps to nationhood right along us,but today they would happily give a limb or two to gloat about even half of the things that we achieved.
Millenials have a long way to go and claim to have done anything Meaningful. For a start they can move out of their parents home
