  1.  Baby Boomers, are the generation that were born  from 1946 to 1964.
  2.  Gen X birth year is in the interval 1965-1980.
  3.  Millenials (also identified as Gen Y) were born in the interval 1981-1996.
  4.  Gen Z people are from the years of  mid- to late-1990s,

Did we destroy the future of the next generation? Maybe yes. But, we Baby Boomers were always open for dialog, and I cannot offer anything better just to initiate cross-generation discussions.

As I am preparing to my Intro to Complex Systems Class for the coming winter, I think we should start this discussion.  I am really curious whether or not I will be able to involve  Gen Z students to this dialog.   I am just reading and thinking, these  activities define us Baby Boomer intellectuals.

This year sensation is the peace award. According  to the odds offered by Ladbrokes, Greta Thunberg has 4/6, see here. since the numerator should be larger than the denominator. There are two questions: (1) Does it mean than six of four people suggests her?? More importantly, how this prize would influence her life?

Dear Reader, any comment would highly be appreciated.
