In this brief spoken commentary, the speaker recounts a conversation with his 23‑year‑old son, who proudly declares that Gen Z is the most truth‑seeking generation—cynical, suspicious, and eager for truth like never before. The speaker challenges this claim by pointing out that the son has never spoken with members of older cohorts such as the Greatest Generation, and argues that every youthful cohort historically makes the same proclamation. He frames the “most truth‑seeking” stance as a recurring teenage/young‑adult phase rather than a unique historical breakthrough, suggesting that generational self‑importance is a common, temporary sentiment.
