I'm getting old

[Carl-Richard]

When I see these videos, of these young people and their limited understanding, I know that I'm getting old:

This generation is full of hidden potential, future Einsteins and Newtons for sure

@NewKidOnTheBlock Its post-modern memeing. The meaning of the meme is its existense itself. Not that they are self aware of it. Its just jokes. Wait i'll look a video up for you.

Edit: Yeah i couldnt find the video i was looking for sorry. But check out my newest thread. I selected a few cool videos from the guy that did the video i was looking for.

It's just entertainment videos, nothing more. Was mass entertainment more intelligent when you were growing up?

The first guy wants to teach you how to increase your IQ, showing how he increased his through an unofficial online test, and he sells an e-book with the methods he used which supposedly contains information from 50 studies (which he definitely found on ChatGPT).

The second guy tries to paint a picture of a 20-year-old online celebrity through a lens of a famous philosopher. It's educational.

Yeah the "meme" being a product of post modernism would explain it, although it's probably not so direct I suppose but the the most profound underlying cause on the causal chain would definitely be philosophical, as it always is. Yeah, my expectations were definitely subverted and my belly definitely had a good exercise from all the hilarious absordity, no need for any effort to be relatable, funny etc. I mean, who needs that. Also, who actually needs beauty, meaning, purpose, beatiful architecture, awe-inspiring art and entertainment, all we really need is a disguisting slop

So you mean you have less tolerance for stupidity than you used to have ? Or you are referring to the phenomenon that older people always find the youngsters music trash ?

I mean, snake oil sellers always been around and people always said stupid stuff. Do you think they are louder now or people are actually dumber ?

I think you just wanted to let some steam off and im mansplaining it.

@Sandroew When I watch the videos above, I quite specifically register it as "young perspective". Young as in partial, limited, inexperienced.

@Carl-Richard Oh. Now that you typed it out, i dont know how that wasnt my first logical conclusion. Derp
