Why on earth would a millennial invest a third in bonds?

I know that there is no way in hell I'm throwing 33% into bonds at 25

So when the stock market tanks and they lose their fricking job they won't have to sell stocks at depressed prices to get by. If they invest the 33% in government bonds they'll likely be able to sell them at a premium, and when the economy recovers and they get their jobs back - they will be a lot closer to retirement than their idiot friends who put 100% in stock and had to sell half their portfolios at shite prices to scrape by.
Its good to think about contingencies.
I'm between 60/40 stock/bond and 50/50.
