I think there's a scarey amount of npc people that exist amongst us. They can >put on clothing, eat and drive cars. They can reproduce. Not much else.

And the 18+ year olds among them can vote.

we also had a discussion at my job a while back about how people do not speak up. we had some people that were trained by a poor trainer. despite this they all gave great scores on their training and didn't speak up.

the girl that gave it a 7 out of 5 was put on the floor. she immediately said she didn't know anything and didn't know what to do.

Young people just don't want to upset people or stand out. They are afraid of going against the grain.

There is a reason for that. It is pure game theory.

Already in my generation, in school, the cult of mediocrity was getting established. If you were a good student you made the other students look bad, so people disliked you. If you pointed out at problems that needing fixing, you were bad news, because now they had to go and fix it, and people disliked you even more.

Compound this over a few decades and what you have is people who has learnt that trying to do the right thing will get them scorned, ridiculed and mocked at best by their peers.

I only see people enjoying being productive when they have no peers on their same level and they have bosses who don't go bonkers when a problem is pointed out for them. Or when they are their own bosses.

Quoting Poindexter Fortran to Tiny <=-

entertainment, and more. It was finished right before COVID and
remote work, I'm not sure what happened to it.

Knowing meta they made people come back to it. ;)

And, what happens if/when you're laid off? I couldn't imagine losing
your job and having to look for a place to rent at the same time.

This is a nightmare to be sure.

I could understand someone a lot younger not having a clue, but it surprised me a little that someone so close in age never learned about either of those events.

I couldn't imagine any journalism major not watching "All the
President's Men". Although "journalism" probably doesn't mean
investigative journalism any more. I could imagine a marketing
"influencer" thinking of themselves as a journalist.

They graduated college in 2000, long before "influencer" was a thing. :)
IIRC, their precise major was photo journalism, so maybe they only had to
learn how to take the pictures that tell the story and not about anything historical.

We watched that movie in high school. They went to a different high
school, but in a district where the schools are usually better. History
was something I was always interested in and I would seek out opportunities
to learn about it. Maybe they were not as interested or inclined.

Still I was shocked they didn't know about either event.
