By "in the community," I guess you mean the community of people under 30 as you refer to "me and my generation." Indeed, I am not in that community in some sense, but they are still my community. I just had breakfast with a 26-year-old whose Toronto start-up was bought by Apple. Apple took her entire company and gave them jobs in California. She now lives near One Infinite Loop. She's part of my community.

If you mean the community of strivers and dreamers -- maybe I am still in that community.

If you mean the community of people who struggle with the fears, limitations, and obligations of former selves ... maybe that community too.

(and even I wonder whether to go back to school and finish a phd.) (but yeah, I am way old.)

    Others, however, may see a quick-speaking, know-it-all whom they have no connection with and see no value in the video at all.
Let them speak up. As soon as he kicked his shoes off, I was sold. :-)
