       As an educator, the saddest thing about the last 2 generations is the rampant lack of basic curiosity about the world, Nature, science, etc.Of course, there are exceptions, but in general, my students only want their phones, social media, Chik-Fil-A, drugs, video games and one-night-stand "hook-ups".They don't read books, have no desire to learn, & want to stay in their own silos of ignorance.I even had one angrily shout, "Why don't you just tell us what to think?"👨‍🎓#professor #HigherEd

       @DrOinFLA I was really curious as a child, and became caught up with the things you mentioned, throughout my teens and twenties.  Now, sober and in my thirties, I'm back to being curious

       @fcktheworld587 That's awesome, Chum. There's so much wonder out there, and it's a shame people are just tuning it out in favor of addictive pablum designed to keep them dumbed down and on the same website(s).

       @DrOinFLA I think the youth are also just feeling unmotivated, because so much that was once reasonably achievable is now highly unlikely to happen for them

       @fcktheworld587 True that.I barely ended up making more money than my Greatest Generation (WWII era) father, and it's only gotten harder for young folks since. The old saying that each generation should do better than the previous one is no longer true.

       @DrOinFLA @fcktheworld587 and their parents who benefitted and voted to take it away from them keep trying to argue with them not to do anything.
