In this week’s episode of Gen X Crisis, Robert expands the generational boundaries with his first non-Gen X guest, Felix McCormick, a Gen Z philosophy major at The University of Galway.
Robert has known Felix since he was seven years old. Now 22, Felix has been listening to the podcast and brings with his own unique and insightful take on Gen X and the world we’re leaving behind. This episode is part conversation, part reckoning, and part window into how Gen Z sees the future and Gen X.
Robert and Felix talk about:
• What Gen Z really thinks Gen X got righ and wrong
• The collapse of the social contract how Gen Z is responsing
• Why extremism and polarity is rising among young people
• Meme culture, absurdity, and what’s actually funny now
• How social media shapes identity and politics
• Parenting (from both sides), agency, and the traps Gen X falls into
• What gives Gen Z hope in a chaotic, accelerating world
• The philosophy that guides him, and the life he’s building in Ireland
It’s raw, honest, funny, and at times uncomfortable, in the best possible way. If the podcast has been about Gen X looking inward, this episode is about seeing ourselves through another generation's eyes.
