      i like saying that history doesn’t repeat, it rhymes…

      but bloody hell, this is literally the exact same thing we get every single generation

      “those young people, completely indecent, just look at the way they dress! their hair! the music they listen to! this technology they use! what will become of them. When i was young i was perfectly obedient and listened to my elders.” you could attritbute that sentence to any era of human history and you’ll be correct, literally all the way back to the beginning of written history this rings true

      Socrates complained about how the youths depend on paper and books too much. And since then little has changed but the exact thing the olds complain about
