Could be the case. That's what complacency gets you. 🤷♂️
Here's a funny story. The short version, that is. I had a discussion with this 19 year-old kid not too long about what he wants to do when he gets older and his response was "I just want to help people." No doubt a nice sentiment, but then I said towards the end of our convo "That's nice. But, if you don't have the capacity to care for your own well-being, how do you expect to care for the well-being of others?", and that kinda lost him a bit. What I mean by this is that the priorities of the newer generations seem a bit different in comparison to those of previous generations. Of course, I don't mean for this to sound like a generalization in any way. A big portion of them seem a bit lost, is all.

They're taught to be helpful, but not ambitious. Ambition is seen as "toxic masculinity" because basic resources seem to just fall from heaven, due to the welfare state and cheap credit.
They don't realize that male ambition had a purpose.
Just another part of the states indoctrination program. 😮💨
It's not the state's program. The state is just the means to do the thing, not the originator of the thing.
I know.
So be more precise in your speech.
Or perhaps don't overthink everything.
No. I think that under-thinking is much worse in nearly all cases. So, I'll stick to my over-thinking.
Lol. Yes, because overthinking has been working so well for you recently. 😉
I still did the thing. It just took me longer than the two seconds it would have taken you.
