Is this generation stupid?

No strong opinion. There does seem to be an ongoing rift between youth and elder that's been around since i don't know, but it took a big dramatic shift during the hippie time. For more incisive minds one may posit the possible beginning in a palpable sense to something like the tennis court oath, where a bunch of enlightenment fellas made the secular like the law or something, and religious stuff couldn't just do whatever the hell they wanted ..... oh yeah, then kids began to think about authority, and the parents had to think too, this is where self help philosophy had a rennaissance and wasn't to get closer to the divine anymore, but to make things more functional in the relational sense.
