Listen "A Generation Without Thresholds: The social rituals that once marked independence persist in social limbo"
Episode Synopsis
Younger generations find rites of passage unfulfilling because public life has thinned, connection is often performed, and identity work has shifted into private rehearsal that turns anxiety into a shared code. By framing culture as a living story system, we can see where meaning is forming and design credible thresholds for belonging and responsibility. The result is clearer direction in ambiguous times. Solutions to these complex challenges require an open and layered approach to analyzing how culture is changing. Sensemaking that resists conclusions and opens up more questions and connections between points within the cultural system.
