Dire state of affairs - 20 somethings

posted April 26th, 2018 at 12:40 PM

As I am here, listening to them speak, I think of how authoritarian and naive they sound. Sounds like you have been pumped full of popular opinion... Doesn't mean it is at all as simple as they think it is. If one more undergrad tells me something is "obvious" and then doesn't know why, it reveals an issue in how the generation is being taught to form ideas.

Generational arguments are dumb

You were probably just like them in your twenties but because everything you did wasnt out in the open for the entire world to fake-scrutinize on social media, you suddenly think you were so amazing smh...Everyone today needs to take a seat for a sec

What is wrong

Is that you think it is a generation thing instead of a young people thing. Young people have always been idealistic and naive. Everyone is blaming the millennials for everything, and forget all the stupidities of past generations. I guess it's an old people thing to think they're superior to others, and everything was better back in their days.

They're 20-something. They sound naive because they're naive.

Try to remember your 20's..

It is the age. 20 somethings always think they know all of the answers. They are no longer teenagers. They think they are "real" adults. They honestly believe they are the first ones to do anything alternative or spiritual or counter culture. They think they know all of the answers. they are exploring poetry, psychology, philosophy. They are reading Tom Robbins and Anais Nin. They think no one else has ever thought these amazing thoughts. It's just being 20 something. Obnoxious, yes. But we all have to go through it.

Nothing new

No, nothing new here at all. I was a hippie in my youth and we were no different. I knew everything, my parents were idiots and had no clue about how the world worked, etc. Then I had kids and when they hit their 20’s (and did post-secondary) they became complete geniuses about everything and I was a moron who simply needed to be instructed. Same old, same old.

You have the maturity the OP doesn't. The OP has the maturity of a smug 20 year old.

Survey says.

When I was you age we had to think

and think

I think I think too much was a famous lyric.

And think

This generation.

reacts without thought.

See the issue?

Thinking critically is not illegal yet but it would appear somebody is working on that whomever that might be.

How is what that person posted any different from the previous comments? They are all stating the obvious, it's an age thing. What the feck is your problem with that post in particular?
