We mostly learn of ideas that a succession of generations thought were worth passing on. That doesn’t mean these ideas are always right, but it does mean that they are more likely to be valuable, in the long run, than most content generated within the past month. Even though they have unprecedented access to all that has ever been written and digitized, members of Gen Z (those born after 1995 or so) may find themselves less familiar with the accumulated wisdom of humanity than any recent generation, and therefore more prone to embrace ideas that bring social prestige within their immediate network yet are ultimately misguided."

it does, in fact, mean that those ideas are virtually always right. they have been specifically selected for over time based on their actual efficacy in real life practice. he's just too much of a pussy to admit it |

it really can't be disputed that every single person living today "knows more" than someone living on a farm in the 1800s. we each have the entire knowledge of the world in our pockets at our fingertips.
are we more "street smart" or "wise"? assuredly not. but there's also maybe less need for that today than there used to be. |
