Yes. you win. that is exactly what i was saying. I want to save the world by making more and younger people play the game! Finally someone understands me, feels so good! ---

Are you also going to teach them how to read and give them an attention span longer than the 20 seconds it takes to watch tiktok shorts? If not you’re probably not getting them to play for very long ---

you have a very strange opinion of the new generations, and you’re obviously wrong, but i think you know that and just want to pump out some cool genx/boomer vibes. Which is fine, as long as you don’t think what you say is actually true. ---

Dr. Jared Horvath would disagree with you. He’s the one that published the study that showed the current generation is the first generation to score lower on standardized testing than the prior generation. ---

Oh i 100% hold the opinion, i work with the general populace and i have had a school leaving age child genuinely tell me that bluetooth headphones cause brain cancer because, and i quote “Elon musk said so” So yeah, the tiktok generation 100% does not have the attention span to deal with EVE and having to read and think for themselves ---

No he’s not. We have granddaughters and grandsons ranging from 10 to 20 and the crap they come out with is just baffling. They take more notice of what f\*\*\*\*\*\* “influencers” say than their parents or us, nothing you say can alter what they’ve been brainwashed into thinking. Everything they say is a conspiracy theory of some sort, even their father, our youngest is now as bad, he’s 43 and having a normal conversation with him isn’t possible anymore, he just laps up all the internet rooms throw at him and no matter what we say, we’re the one’s that are wrong. Try to insult the so called “boomers” as much as you want, it’s not us that’s walking down the street wired up staring at a screen. ---
