'a classic American soul-wobbly child who is very rude to the parents over not getting the toy he wants—but applied to intellectual toys." So true! but between the childhood vaccine schedule, the magic rectangle, helicopter parenting and tiktok, these children are the most infantilized generation in history (and not all of them are, some of them are incredibly smart). How do we get the slow ones to run when they can't even crawl and they can't get off the phone long enough to learn how? I'm all for being as kind and supportive as we can be, but not if I have to join Facebook to do that.
Maybe our interests are best served by building bridges with those who aren't stuck in an alternate universe? Supposedly it only takes 10-15% of a population to generate a seismic shift

Thank you!!!!! I am smiling from ear to ear, in the literal sense of it. :)
"Maybe our interests are best served by building bridges with those who aren't stuck in an alternate universe?" I think that is it!!! I think we need those bridges because without those bridges, we are just stuck in an echo chamber and a chest-beating competition that disguises the pain. We need to take a deep breath, forgive ourselves, forgive others, and be adults in the happy sense of it (and no, the world is not going to drop everything and start listening but little by little, slowly, very slowly, we get somewhere by not being afraid of loving this world (our ourselves, as a beautiful piece of the puzzle)!!
