More on Generational issues and differences

I remember my parents, over thirty years ago yelling at me for studying with music blaring. Now, at 50+ I can’t hardly do any two things at the same time. No doubt I’d yell at my kids for the same thing, if I forgot what it was like to have a working brain.

Maybe their minds/brains will compensate as some have already > suggested. I sense that they fight anomie by creating all their online worlds to have a place to better fit into.

But we, at the same age, fought anomie, but it’s just the tools were different. We played board games, Diplomacy, Dungeons and Dragons, Baseball statistical simulations, and created our social contacts in
different ways, BUT is that fundamentally different from the younger people today?

When you’re a teenager you deal with teenager stuff. The veneers may be different. Perhaps not the fundamentals.
