    i’m beginning to realize a main aspect of the boomer mentality, which is divorced from actual age or generation, is an unwillingness to acknowledge that someone younger than you may be more informed. it’s so silly. there are teenagers who are way smarter than me and that’s just how the world is.

      an unwillingness to acknowledge that someone younger than you may be more informed.

      this is baffling to me because the curriculum gets updated over time so younger people ought to be better informed about matters they’ve been educated on than people who learned about it 20+ years ago.
