From every account I have
From every account I have heard he is a total and complete asshole. It is apparently a requirement for leadership in tech. For all the “forward” thinking they sure love their 1930’s corporate hierarchies and income disparities. It is one thing to be Jobs, Bezos, Ellison, or Musk and act like they do, but every mid-level manager up feels like they have to act like that to. Working in tech has just become a shit show of sprints and “unlimited” vacation days but only if all your work is done. Yes I’m bitter.

Elon Musk could go down as the greatest Gen Xer ever; which is saying something considering the overall greatness of Gen Xers in general (we're the true heirs to The Greatest Generation. The Boomers are basically the mutant offspring of the Atomic Age.)
In fact, if Elon gets humanity to Mars as he intends, he will go down as one of the GOATs from any generation, ever.

I don't believe so.
These wars were foisted on us by European fascism, and, wrt Vietnam, by an older-than-us generation of fascists in the US. As I'm sure you know, wars are not fought by those that plan them, but by a younger bunch of folks.

The Mercury and Appllo
The Mercury and Appllo missions were also planned and executed by Greatest Generation visionaries at NASA.
Sadly, the Boomers largely squandered manned space exploration; which is why I mentioned Elon & Gen X being the true heirs, etc.

And wisely so. The only three space programs we need are meteor detection and abatement, SETI, and maintaining satellites. Everything else has a lower priority than dealing with our other problems here on earth.
Space will still be there if and when we have figured out how to correctly live on this planet.

Of course you would think so. That's exactly the lack of vision and ambition we've come to expect from the Boomers. Your results speak for themselves.
>>>Space will still be there if and when we have figured out how to correctly live on this planet
Indeed. Yet another failure by the Boomers, which Gen Xers like Musk are currently working to correct.
I know this is going to sound unbelievable, Surf; but we can actually clean up your mess and innovate for our future. Crazy, right?

It is, indeed. Science allowed for the unforeseen improvement of fertilizers in the 1930s and 40s, not to mention the Green Revolution which helped avert a worldwide food shortage crises. Science and enterprise will soon see us overcome the impending resource crises that the Boomers reaped for my generation to sow.
Also, I was unaware that Elon Musk was a secret agent for the Trump administration. Can you elaborate on that
Lurker?

Science - hell yeah! But it doesn't have to be space. Any large program will have such effects. How about a program to clean up the planet and get it on a sustainable course?

It most certainly is your mess, Surf. I get that passing the buck is sort of a natural, almost instinctual impulse for people of your generation; but surely you can muster the humility to acknowledge the fact that the Boomers have utterly failed to address the environmental crisis the world is currently facing?
History has rendered its verdict of the Boomers, and the verdict is not good. Accept it, and move out of our way.

The competitive and divisive
The competitive and divisive style of thinking is so passé; we need to work together to create a future that's healthy for everyone. That includes using science, compassion, ethical work, art, etc.
Top of Page Bottom of Page PermalinkFull Name: Def. High
Jeeze, Mark - you're either
Jeeze, Mark - you're either totally full of shit or just being snarky. This whole talk of this generation and that generation is just bullshit. Nobody has any choice about when they were born. No group of people born within 15 or 20 years of each other is monolithic in their behavior. Yes, some of "my" generation has been less than smart about the way we've done things. As has some of yours. And every other generation. Seeing the world, as you seem to, in black and white is not going to help.
Also, it's not my mess - personally. I maintain a relatively small carbon footprint and have always voted for candidates who advocate for the environment. I've marched and demonstrated, written letters, and tried to educate people. In my 25 years working in oceanography I have participated in numerous projects designed to investigate and mitigate environmental damage around the world.
What have you done?

Again, I can't blame you for distancing yourself from the epic failures of your generation, Surfdead; but it is very telling that, even in the face of overwhelming evidence, you can barely muster the courage to even acknowledge your generation's massive role in humanity's current predicaments. History gave you an incredible opportunity; and you squandered it.
And no, Judit; we really don't need any assistance from the Boomers in our current problem solving endeavors. We'll take it from here, thanks.

I agree. Despite the many major flaws of the Boomers generation we can help ease them through the last 10-15 years of their lives because it’s the right thing to do.

That's true.
That's true.
You would think with all the pot smoking, songs about pot smoking, pot smoking magazines, and pot smoking demonstrations the Boomers had, they could have legalized weed for themselves; but no. We had to do that for them too.

Since this thread has gone
Since this thread has gone off the original topic and a few have swallowed hard Marks troll bait, I'm going to comment off-topic on what I think is being exposed once again by this Elon Musk smoking weed story...
It is so sad and so telling that in this day & age the general thinking of many (or most?) people is still that smoking marijuana is a bad, dirty, loser thing to do.
I'm amazed that this Musk smoking pot story is such a big deal. If he & Rogan had been drinking expensive scotch out of crystal glasses no one would have said a thing. Hell, they could have been hammering down multiple beers from a keg and the only issue would have been what beer they were drinking.
It seems so obvious to me that in 2018 no matter whether one approves or not of smoking pot, or any type of intoxication, at this point EVERYone should understand that weed is no big deal and is nothing to get riled about in any way.
The lesson of course is that no matter how archaic, societal/moral prejudices are arbitrary and very difficult to break.
As for this thread, the lesson is that some people just can't help snapping at bait no matter where it's cast.
But, for the sake of the veer of this thread, this photo is from the upcoming GenXer children's book, "Where's the Baby Boomer?"........
