        Cesar Hidalgo does an amazing job of illustrating this when he refers to child-birth as time travel.

        There is truth here, but it lets older generations off the hook for the ways they fail younger ones.

        More concerning than this is the fact that most individuals of a given generation won’t actually be interested in continuously improving their understanding of how the world works.

        The basic problem is every generation starts with zero understanding of the way the world works and fewer and fewer give a damn to correct it and older generations are telling them nothing they do will matter.

        Another basic problem is most humans are presented at an early age with a highly improbable story and are told they must believe it or suffer dire consequences.

        The problem with neoliberalism is that it desperately maintains the status quo so that the world always works the same way rather than having the courage to truly better it.
