Well, if the converse holds, it explains why all the 20-somethings I meet are complete @ssholes.
As I approach old(er) age, I’m increasingly finding that I don’t care about a great many things that some people think are a Great Big Deal.
Children care about far too many things these days. And they’ve been indoctrinated to tell us all just how much they care about every little thing.
Increasingly, I find myself telling kids to STFU, because one of the things I truly no longer care about is what young skulls full of tapioca pudding think about anything. I don’t care what they think about the weather, much less the climate. I don’t care what they think about politics, because they can’t answer even basic questions about the Constitution or structure of US Government.
They’re just noisy blobs of glorious stupidity and ignorance. And as such, until they a) at least rent a clue, and b) learn how to use said clue, anything that comes out of their pieholes is noise.
