From @anduriltech’s @PalmerLuckey:
What is the #1 job most kids want today?
“It’s social media influencer, next is professional gamer, next is YouTuber… the problem is, you can’t tell kids to follow their dreams when their dreams suck.”
What was the #1 dream for kids in 1971?
To be an astronaut 👨🚀 🌕
“We had just gone to the moon… These guys were fighter pilots, PhD mathematician super men, who were also really good looking and well spoken… the ultimate American hero ideal. For a kid to see that and say ‘that’s what I want to be,’ okay tell the kids to follow their dreams.”

Want to hear something cray? We are 5 days away from the 20th Anniversary of Demotivator® posters going viral. (Oct 22) At the time, Internet had 147 million users. In the past two decades, it has added around 4 billion more. And most are in despair👍! https://t.co/robWnYEt99
@boredpanda So, not really a million miles from the "demotivator" posters and calendars that @despairinc have been doing for decades (-ish) over at https://t.co/63Y4J3r0YR?
Thanks for the mention. We take a subtler approach, but any and all means should be deployed to stop the corrosive impact of Big Motivation! https://t.co/KP1bDOgMBg
