I’ve long been puzzled by the idealization of youth in the modern world. I mean that cultural tenet which views younger people as intellectually and morally superior to older people. It’s a very unusual view — virtually no society before modern society has held it.

This comes from the feminisation of western culture.

Women think the sun shines out of their kid's arse and are often competitive and ambitious through their children rather them putting themselves upfront.

Add that to a bunch of men who want to get into the pants of young men and women via flattery and simping then you have a generation of people basically being told they can do no wrong.
