It’s a cliche to say that today’s twenty-somethings are pretty confused about life.

But according to a recent study by the Pew Research Center, that cliche may be grounded in statistical fact.

The Atlantic set out to chronicle the most glaring inconsistencies buried in the polling data. Here’s USDemocrazy’s top five:

1) Despite growing up in the worst economic environment since the 1930s, we’re the most confident in our financial futures.

 2) Our world is profoundly interconnected through social media websites and apps… and yet we are far less trusting of people than our parents and grandparents.

 3) We are least likely to identify with the two-party system… but have the highest approval of Congress?

 4) We are most supportive of “big government” and universal health care, but disapprove of Obamacare by the same margins as everybody else.

 5) We have the most stake in reversing climate change and preserving the environment… but we are less likely than any previous generation to identify as environmentalists.

 What’s your take on all this? Are millennials confused? Or is there wisdom hiding in the senselessness?
