you are right about that; but the word isn't 'knowledge', it is experience

Yes and no

kids today can ALWAYS find some exception online that counters any tid-bit of wisedom that previous generations had to bitterly swallow

Everyone gains experience eventually yet the social structure remains

but 90% of the time, when we finally reached our parents age, we found ourselves repeating those very words we once considered cringe

the next generation won't have this experience

thats what im most worried about

they will subsitute hair-brain theories supported by lots of stats but have no basis in reality

this is EXACTLY what happend with millenials

like whats going to happen if even the people who are against the woke culture dont even understand why their against it

On that front

Its the false axioms I'd be worried about

As in the easiest way to escape reality is to work from a starting point that is wrong

parents dismissing their parents way of raising kids for some new aged research regarding time-outs

or as I observe with a lot of leftist ideologies axioms built ontop of axioms ontop of axioms that are all wrong 5 layers down

An inescapable web of rationalised falsehood

as an example, time-outs DO work however, they ONLY work with certain types of children

Its about application also

and this ability to understand when an idea or concept is applicable and when it IS NOT is a dying skill-set

Ie they have to actually know they are being punished and not just going through the motions

I wouldnt call that a skill

because while people today 'know more' they UNDERSTAND so very little

thats just based on intelligence and pattern recognition

and intelligent people will always be a minority

it's called 'judgement'

They don't think

something you can only develop by operating in a vacuum

who works in a vacuum today?

no one

Surely if they sat down and thought of how to effectively discipline their children and worked at it trial and error - experience. then they'd work it out

But they don't engage

They don't think

there is no incentive to do so

instead of trying to come up with a solution, instead of trying to solve problems without asking anyone, they simply look how other do it

let the school handle it

There is no problem solving though they know there is a problem

well you enjoy the money you have spent half your life collecting

Yes

thats the mentality

They ask others what to do

not really northern because children are different as well as circumstances are different
