      In fairness, the word “conscious” has a range of meanings. For some, it is synonymous with certain religious ideas. They would be alarmed by the “heresy”. For others, it is synonymous to claiming that some entity is entitled to the same fundamental rights as a human being. Those would be quite alarmed by the social implications. Few people use the term in a strictly empiricist sense.

          Young people are always ignorant, relatively. They haven’t been around long enough to learn much, after all. However, the quality of education has been empirically declining over many decades, and mobile devices are extemely efficient accelerants of brain rot.

          Young people thinking their Ai waifu is real

          Boomers thinking America was great and not just racist and imperialist

          Gen X being really entitled because they were raised by Boomers

          Millennials being the best at everything

          I agree 100%.

              Yeah there’s a couple of millennial shitheads but all in all, and especially in comparison, we’re the goat. Not trying to put anyone down or such just stating facts.
