>Never listen to an old person
The post your are referencing has been deleted, but this, imho, is at the core of the major problem with modern society.
In modern society, the elders are seen as nothing more than a burden upon society.
Historically, the elders were paramount in passing on generations of knowledge and aided with the rearing of the next generation.
Why has this changed?
Rhetorical questions require self reflection.
From an old fuck to arrogant younger generation, I am reminded of a fridge magnet I once saw: To the teenager, quick, leave home while you still know everything.
