I'm 51, and as I've gotten older I've realized that wisdom does not always come with age. Some educated people become less wise as they age because they cannot adopt any new ideas. "That's how we've always done it" is one of the most common explanations for problems we're not fixing. We need the energy and optimism and irreverence of the young combined with the expertise and patience of the old to get things done in politics.

I think every generation has said this. All the new fangled ideas that seemed brilliant, genetically modify food to feed the poor, living an inflated life of consumerism and credit debt because "you only live once" (predecessor to yolo), using new technologies that put more pollution in the environment than ever before, etc seemed brilliant and anyone from the older generation that found any fault or concern were scoffed at with whatever expression preceded "okay boomer". As the same pathway to hell is paved by good intentions, the future generation will be appalled at the current generation and the cycle will continue. In the meantime, enjoy your millions of kurig disposable plastic cups used each day, your addiction to following the unrealistic lifestyles on social media causing suicide to be fairly common, the anti-social results of constant cell phone addiction and skewed social landscape causing the most mass shootings and mentally disturbed folks walking the streets in forever, and even more consumerism than Gen X who were defined by consumerism.

He is correct. Young people who write off elders that know more than they do are dumb.

Portland for example, has had a 523% spike in homicides since defunding the police. It’s gotten so bad that democrats are trying to walk back their efforts to defund the police and blame it on Republicans, which isn’t working out so well.

Thistle I don't have particularly high opinion of Maher but his trying to sell the idea that Biden is on top of things and that it was a disappointment to comedy writers really floored me. Leaving aside Biden's being nothing but the puppet of the radicals that run him, I find the idea that comedians were licking their chops in anticipation of making him the butt of their jokes outright delusional. I suspect they're thanking God and hope that the guys running the show manage him at least as competently as they have thus far, and that Harris takes over officially as soon as possible, so that they don't have to invent ways to defend the indefensible and work on trying to distract attention.

When I realized the same feeling, I came up with the thought I might be an adult antiproportional to that feeling: The longer I could identify back, the more stable my identity should have gotten. Funny thing is, getting older, let me be more understanding of my past selves. They did as well as they could (mostly). And more understanding with other people at their place in life. Then a friend came and told me, why be so insecure? 15 years ago you used to strongly inject you opinion on anything and now you are not sure any longer, who is right. Are you depressed. That time, I really felt like the adult in the room.... by the way, I am in my late 30s now and the more "insecure" I got, the better I became in dealing with things.

When an audience claps when they're supposed to laugh it's because they don't find it funny and in fact they find it embarrassing, so they do the minimum polite thing and they clap.

Welcome to the safe space generation, where kids never heard the character building words of "You're a loser!". It has created a bunch of self-conceited, coddled, and withdrawn individuals who will plant their feet on whatever hill they find attractive, disconnected from reality. They are told that they are special and will begin to believe it, but reality will always have something different in mind. Self esteem movements have the unfortunate side effect of making people less teachable. "Humility is the beginning of true intelligence." -John Calvin
