Historically, each generation is expected to surpass the one before it; to be smarter, more capable, and more innovative. That’s how progress is supposed to work. But Gen Z (Generation Z) breaks that pattern. For the first time, a generation didn’t meaningfully push civilization forward; instead, it stalled. In terms of real-world creation and foundational discovery, we didn’t advance but instead, we regressed.
Look around at everything that defines modern life. The internet. Computers. Smartphones. Operating systems. Programming languages. Networking protocols. Satellites. GPS. Semiconductors. Power grids. Aviation. Modern medicine. Even the core ideas behind artificial intelligence. None of these were invented by Generation Z. They were designed, discovered, and built by previous generations long before we arrived. We didn’t create the foundations of the modern world we were born into them.
Our era is defined less by invention and more by consumption. We scroll, stream, remix, optimize, and slightly improve what already exists. We polish interfaces, increase speed, change aesthetics, and repackage old ideas in new forms. That has value, but it isn’t the same as building something from nothing. Earlier generations built the tools; Generation Z mostly lives inside them.
What makes this more striking is access. No generation before us had more information, cheaper computing power, global communication, and learning resources available instantly. The barriers were lower than ever. Yet despite having everything, we produced very little at the foundational level.
And here’s the most interesting part: the generation after us is likely to be one of the smartest and most impactful generations yet. They will grow up surrounded by advanced technology that feels normal, not magical. When people stop being impressed by tools, they start questioning them and that’s when real innovation happens.
That’s what makes Generation Z a historical anomaly: a generation that had everything handed to it, but left very little behind. History doesn’t remember who enjoyed progress. It remembers who created it.
Niggas will tell you Gojo and Sukuna are poorly written, but when you ask them to explain Gojo as a failed Übermensch and how is binding to moral responsibility is in stark contrast to Sukuna as the purest expression of Nietzchen philosophy: embodying a world after the death of morality, theyll freeze up like you caught them perving in public.
Someone is waiting to have their life trajectory positively changed forever by you and your works. You have no idea whose destiny you’re delaying by hoarding your art. Release them.
You forgot the most important bit.
The USA that issued the loan did not actually give your country anything. It merely printed some USD out of thin air (created a new credit entry on a computer) and allocated it to the "Nigeria" account at the New York Federal Reserve bank.
To repay that fake computer money and its interest, your country will then exchange actual resources with genuine value like oil, cobalt, gold, cocoa etc for the fake computer money, and then pay interest for the privilege. So the USA buys your real resources with fake numbers it created on a computer in New York, and then your government (which doesn't print USD) has to hope it can sell enough of your real ancestral resources to be able to earn the fake American computer credit that it needs to make its double digit interest payments.
And when your country obviously can't keep up with the payments, no worries - the helpful US government subdivisions called IMF and World Bank "advise" you to devalue your currency in exchange for "emergency financing," so that they can get even more of your real resources for even fewer of their fake computer numbers, which are now worth 1,500x your own currency. And since unlike them you don't have 800 foreign military bases that enable you just print more of your currency and offload the inflation burden to everyone else, you end up with a lot less money to spend on running your fucking country.
But that's not a problem, because the IMF helpfully creates a comprehensive Structural Adjustment Program for you to defund your education, healthcare, public infrastructure, and everything that might ever give your people hope of a better life. Those things are for el gringos in the Global North. Your country is in the Global South and is full of el negritos, so nothing for you senor. Oh and by the way, the "emergency financing" also carries its own separate double digit interest, so now you have even more debt than before and less money than ever to pay it off with.
So you have to damn near convert your entire country into an open pit mine just to be able to extract enough valuable raw materials to hopefully sell for fake American computer credits at a price they set for you, and you will use the pitiful income from this to make your interest payments while trying to run a semblance of a country, until you can't keep up with the payments again. Then the IMF sends you another PDF headlined "Structural Adjustment Program". Maybe this time you will need to give up the firstborn of every household in exchange for "emergency financing"...
Neocolonial capitalism - unquestionably the best system of economics that has ever been devised and will ever exist.*

I want to repeat this to all Africans. As long as you continue voting for personalities and not for ideas rooted in a clear value system, you will remain stuck in the dark. You will remain backward. You will remain mere spectators of technology and development in other parts of the world, while your continent remains stagnant and a global laughing stock.
The choice is yours. We say these things not because you are unaware, but because it is important that they are recorded, so that future generations who will one day ask, “What kind of people were these who kept voting for personalities and not for ideas?” will know that there were some voices within those generations who cautioned against the danger of such behaviour.
This problem is not unique to Zimbabwe or South Africa. It is happening across the continent, where people boldly declare that they will die for an individual rather than live and work for ideas that can transform their societies. Such people deserve every ounce of suffering that follows, because their misplaced loyalty condemns not just themselves but also their children to the same cycle of poverty, corruption, and stagnation.
A personality cult will never build schools, hospitals, roads, or create jobs. Only ideas and values that are translated into sound policies and accountable governance can achieve that. The sooner Africans understand this, the sooner they can liberate themselves from being perpetual victims of their own choices.
The choice is yours to make, if you want to remain backward, keep voting for personalities instead of ideas, if you want your children to remain a laughing stock globally, keep voting and following personality cults instead of ideas that will get you out of your current mess! The choice is yours to make.
