00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Hey, if you go to arrow dot net right now

2
00:00:01.960 --> 00:00:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Aroe dot net, there's a brand new podcast on there

3
00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:08.439
<v Speaker 1>that really taps into your love for music. It's called

4
00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Music's Lost History. You already know the songs, but do

5
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:17.559
<v Speaker 1>you know the real story? Seriously, Music's Lost History only

6
00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:22.239
<v Speaker 1>on arrow dot net aarre dot net. Enjoy your exploration.

7
00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:26.839
<v Speaker 1>Hates me that question guy, that dude that's always asking

8
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:29.440
<v Speaker 1>questions like a little two year old in front of

9
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:33.600
<v Speaker 1>his parents, always asking questions because it's more fun when

10
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:37.880
<v Speaker 1>you start researching for answers such as why are students

11
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:43.119
<v Speaker 1>being called the last generation? Where did this even come from?

12
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:46.600
<v Speaker 1>And is it doing more damage than good? Plus how

13
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:50.479
<v Speaker 1>many creative people are finally crediting the COVID lockdown for

14
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:54.000
<v Speaker 1>their current success. My name is Erro. I'm a daily writer,

15
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:56.479
<v Speaker 1>a silent wolf. I stand in the sidelines and do

16
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.719
<v Speaker 1>nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate. I call it

17
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:02.159
<v Speaker 1>the Daily Mess because it's a chronological walk through an

18
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:05.439
<v Speaker 1>everyday world. It is my daily writing as a receiver

19
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:08.319
<v Speaker 1>of thoughts and ideas. We as people tend to throw

20
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:12.239
<v Speaker 1>things to the side and then attempt to fish them

21
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:14.879
<v Speaker 1>back in the future. How's that going for you? What

22
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:17.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of a worm are you using when a subject

23
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:19.760
<v Speaker 1>arrives inside of me? Dude, I know it's time to

24
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:22.519
<v Speaker 1>dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal, but by

25
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:26.200
<v Speaker 1>doing the research, the picture will become clearer. This is

26
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:31.799
<v Speaker 1>the daily mess. Why are students today being called the

27
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:34.519
<v Speaker 1>last generation? Now we're talking about the students that had

28
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:37.680
<v Speaker 1>to go through the COVID lockdown. It comes from real

29
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.920
<v Speaker 1>concerns about this being the only group of students in

30
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:45.280
<v Speaker 1>the country that truly went through the entire COVID lockdown experience.

31
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:49.359
<v Speaker 1>Topping the first ever walk was how it totally interrupted

32
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:54.400
<v Speaker 1>their education suddenly without practice. Oh oh, we're doing remote learning,

33
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:58.760
<v Speaker 1>adding to the weight, sudden development. It was out of

34
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:04.159
<v Speaker 1>the window and off the map, introducing mental health, I mean,

35
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:08.599
<v Speaker 1>on the rise it came. We're talking anxiety, loneliness, depression

36
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:11.960
<v Speaker 1>and stress. And who will ever forget the huge number

37
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:16.599
<v Speaker 1>of milestones that were missed, graduation from and even sports.

38
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:22.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, the last generation? Ooh. Recent research shows the

39
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:27.639
<v Speaker 1>average student during the COVID lockdown had experienced a major setback.

40
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.719
<v Speaker 1>In fact, many many, many schools are still trying to

41
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:35.840
<v Speaker 1>catch up. The expression about this generation suggests that schools

42
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:38.439
<v Speaker 1>by the way should stop doing this. In fact, health

43
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:41.240
<v Speaker 1>experts say that can we just say something other than

44
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:44.360
<v Speaker 1>the last generation. Others that we need to take off

45
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:47.639
<v Speaker 1>the list include the COVID generation or the pandemic generation.

46
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:51.520
<v Speaker 1>The goal is to make sure that these students are

47
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:56.520
<v Speaker 1>not permanently defined. Society will call these students whatever they want,

48
00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:59.639
<v Speaker 1>whatever is available. But the important part is is that

49
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:04.639
<v Speaker 1>his victorians and teachers get it right. Hey. Coming up

50
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:09.360
<v Speaker 1>next are creative people in music, movies and books finally

51
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:15.719
<v Speaker 1>crediting the COVID lockdown for their current success? Hey, thanks

52
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.479
<v Speaker 1>for coming back to the daily Mess. Creative people in music,

53
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:23.439
<v Speaker 1>movies and books. Are they finally crediting the COVID lockdown

54
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:26.240
<v Speaker 1>for their current success? And I bring this up because

55
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:29.360
<v Speaker 1>I was there March of twenty twenty. I did not

56
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:32.479
<v Speaker 1>turn down any interviews. I knew more than ever that

57
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:35.680
<v Speaker 1>it was time to crank up the conversation because people

58
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:39.800
<v Speaker 1>were going in every direction, especially creative people. I've still

59
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:43.960
<v Speaker 1>got interviews where I was screamed at using every F

60
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:47.039
<v Speaker 1>bomb in the world, s, bombs, you name it, because

61
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:49.639
<v Speaker 1>I brought up COVID and they wanted nothing to do

62
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:54.280
<v Speaker 1>with it. And yet today these same people are crediting

63
00:03:54.560 --> 00:04:00.759
<v Speaker 1>the COVID lockdown for their current success. My my, my.

64
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:04.360
<v Speaker 1>But here's the thing, though, the COVID lockdown is not

65
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:08.319
<v Speaker 1>reason to celebrate inside a victory circle. What creative people

66
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.479
<v Speaker 1>are saying is that there was time available, It was cleared,

67
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:14.439
<v Speaker 1>and it gave them the opportunity to work their art

68
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:18.879
<v Speaker 1>and to really build this thing called social media. Writers

69
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:23.240
<v Speaker 1>started and finished novels. Filmmakers earned a lot of money

70
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:27.399
<v Speaker 1>with this new thing called streaming and podcasting. Oh my god,

71
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:31.399
<v Speaker 1>it was coming out of the woodwork. Iman. Everybody had

72
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:35.720
<v Speaker 1>a podcast. Suddenly, it was the thing to listen to

73
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:40.600
<v Speaker 1>while staying checked in with daytime and evening hours that

74
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:44.399
<v Speaker 1>just would not stop because the question always was when

75
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:47.199
<v Speaker 1>is this ever going to get back to normal? It

76
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:51.800
<v Speaker 1>wasn't an all around circus and celebration. Creativity at the

77
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:55.120
<v Speaker 1>time varied greatly from person to person. I mean, there

78
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:58.600
<v Speaker 1>are many, many, many people who do credit the lockdown

79
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:03.879
<v Speaker 1>for reshaping their creative success today. It's not a universal story, though,

80
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:09.040
<v Speaker 1>and many equally talented people went through hell a lot

81
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:13.199
<v Speaker 1>of setbacks while others are seeing the sun rise. When

82
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:16.480
<v Speaker 1>asked if this means that creativity has been healed. The

83
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:22.319
<v Speaker 1>answer is uh uh, nowhere near it. Creativity got broken?

84
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:26.199
<v Speaker 1>Is that even proper English? It got broken, but it

85
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:30.360
<v Speaker 1>did introduce newer ways to create on different shorelines that

86
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:34.120
<v Speaker 1>take us to beaches we've never met. I'm Meryl, and

87
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:35.480
<v Speaker 1>that's the daily mess.
