I can relate to the allegation that baby boomers like to &#x27;keep millennials down&#x27; - I truly cannot stand aspects of family renunions with aunts, uncles, even my parents who casually dismiss the majority of things I stand for or aspire to as &#x27;a phase&#x27; or as &#x27;nerdy&#x27;... meanwhile they swear by Fox News, pedal oversimplified, uncompromising viewpoints, and are more interested in talking to me about how I find time to party than the projects I work on (&quot;Work hard, party hard, Orthoganol&quot;). I sit at my grandfather&#x27;s table when I can, maybe it&#x27;s just an effect of old age, but I feel like his generation better understands the important things.
