At only one time in the history of the earth were the younger people more intelligent or knew more than the older folks, and that was during the 1960s and 70s.
You young folks cannot possibly know all these things out here in the world. That is why you need a lot of 70-year-olds to tell them to you. Remember what you don’t know will be what kills you. The only reason humans are the top predator is that they outsmarted the other predators. So you selfish Xs, XXs and XXXs are thinking, “OK, I’ll just get smarter than everyone else and get all the fame, money and power.” Wrong! In this world today you’re better off being a nice person and winning with others than stealing from them.
If you look at the youth culture of today, you will see that they are mostly interested in sex, drugs and rock and roll, as we also were in the 60s and 70s. Yet we hippies added social awareness, spiritual possibilities, peace, love and justice. And this 2,000XXX generation has added selfishness, phone self-promotion, boob implants and science fiction to their mix. We of the hippie era were also interested in the possibility of ET and spirits. But we have mostly discounted these, and through experimentation we believe that it is all in your mind.
