At any moment in time in this nation, you will find some pompous ass gloating about a study they read online about how the generations are so very different from each other. And, as is the case with the philosophy of pompous asses, they have no evidence, nor do they believe that they even need such evidence. "It's obvious that younger people have shorter attention spans than the average adult these days," they gloat, "why, just look at how they do not listen to my mind numbingly boring lecture on why children are idiots. Surely, this proves that they are inferior!" Then there are young people, who claim in an equally pompous way, "It is obvious that older people are suffering from cognitive decline," they sneer after seeing some elderly politician give a speech, "All the signs of dementia are there. How could they have allowed this person out in the real world with beautiful, intelligent people such as myself?" Of course the young person blanket diagnosing every old person they meet with dementia is equally as silly as the older person diagnosing every young person they meet with ADHD or whatever popular personality disorder comes to mind at the moment. None of this is rational or precise in any way, yet the generation masturbation continues with no end in sight. Why is it considered acceptable behavior to make generalizations about other groups of people? What are you trying to accomplish by making others feel inferior to you? And how do you expect to have a society that takes its leaders seriously whilst those same leaders are trying to appease the hatred you spew onto other groups with little to no evidence that such hatred is even warranted? If you are a pompous ass, you probably do not care at all, which is the problem in a nutshell.
