> What I'm seeing is someone who is desperate to be right.

I’m desperate to understand what your point is - if it’s that I’m just another old fogie biased against the next generation, then you couldn’t be more mislead.

I’m desperate to have a conversation, for the good of this community. That’s what we’re here for.

> Everyone for the last 2000 years has expressed the same sentiment you did.

I’m not expressing a sentiment. We all are. Entire classrooms of kids are ignoring the authority figure as a default.

That’s the topic in TFA.

It’s…not my opinion. Or a sentiment. Or subject to bias.

Whatever bias you think I’m showing: you should name it! I don’t even know what sort of fallacy you’re accusing me of!

Growing older isn’t accepting someone sneering vaguely and unproductively at you.
