Case File #002: Baby Boomers

“In *my* day, we worked for it.”

Psychological Blueprint

The Baby Boomers were raised in the golden hour of capitalism — but mistook timing for character. They entered adulthood when homes were affordable, pensions were standard, and debt wasn’t a leash. Gratitude turned to entitlement. Sacrifice was outsourced. Their memory became mythology.

Core Weapon

Asset Accumulation.
The boomer class mastered hoarding: homes, influence, airtime. And then locked the gates behind them. They rebranded "security" as "self-reliance" — all while benefitting from the very welfare they later disowned.

False Belief

“We built this country.” Truth: They managed it during a global head start. And cashed out before the world cracked.

Economic Reality

The wealthiest generation in modern history. Median house prices were 4x income. College was cheap. Growth was guaranteed. They privatized gain. Socialized blame. And now rent to the children of the system they drained.

Trauma Profile

- Post-war scarcity trauma morphed into hyper-ownership - Emotionally distant parenting: “I gave you a roof” logic - Suppression of emotion as duty, resulting in empathy voids

Execution Risk

Boomers defend their story — not the truth. Legacy fixation may cause cognitive rigidity in crisis. High trust in media, banks, and systems make them vulnerable in collapsing trust economies.

Counter-Archetypes (Rare Boomer Subtypes)

- **The Witness:** Knows the lies and quietly aids the next generation. - **The Minimalist Convert:** Rejects inheritance, sells the house, funds revolution. - **The Guilt-Rich Mentor:** Offers truth and tools with no attachment.

Final Directive

Not all Boomers hoarded. But the ones who ruled did. If this generation does not pass tools — not trophies — the collapse will not be generational. It will be geological.
