How Gen Z’s ‘delulu’ culture impacts their reality | Justine Danielle Reyes | TEDxADMU

📊 Gen Z, born between 1997 and 2012, is characterized by a desire for diversity, collaboration, and authenticity, and is highly practical due to inheriting global issues.

🏆 The speaker, identifying as Gen Z and delusional in a positive sense, uses personal experience to explore the generation's perspective on 'delusional' as a motivational term.

🤔 The debate around the use of 'delusional' raises questions about the generation's understanding of the term versus its clinical meaning, highlighting a potential educational or critical thinking issue.

💭 The speaker suggests that Gen Z's use of 'delusional' may reflect a refusal to accept an untenable reality, rather than a pathological state of mind.

🌱 The script touches on societal pressures and expectations that Gen Z faces, such as economic insecurity and the challenge of achieving traditional milestones.

🌟 The idea of 'being delusional' is presented as a form of escapism that allows Gen Z to envision a better reality amidst current global challenges.

🔑 The speaker calls for a collective change, suggesting that individual efforts are not enough and that societal structures need to support a brighter future for all.

🌍 The script emphasizes the importance of hope and the need to redefine what is considered 'normal' in society, advocating for a collective effort to build a better future.

🎯 The final message is one of optimism, urging Gen Z to embrace their dreams and not to let the label 'delusional' undermine their aspirations for a better world.
