Hippies were totally counter cultural, which is why it was totally shut down in 1971. "We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin. And then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities,” Ehrlichman said. “We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.” And so it was. And still is.

Each generation has its role it has played in the growth of the people as a whole. It’s important to note that the difference phases we’ve gone through as a society from the Industrial Revolution to the Technological Boom and now the advent of Artificial Intelligence, all have influenced each overlapping generation in different ways. It would be prudent for us to take both broad and specific approaches to extracting data from these large data sets in order to identify where our strengths will show themselves as younger generations mature and position themselves to transition into the leaders of tomorrow.
