As a veteran of a “youth movement” myself, a student of generationally-driven movements around the world, and now an adviser to some of these change agents today, I am aware that I watch the current wave of social change initiatives through wrinkled eyes. Now fast approaching seventy, I have witnessed many movements to “save” or “change” the world. And what I value most in those movements is the capacity of the young to unlearn what their elders have directly or indirectly taught them.
