then half the people living today are younger than you are. World's median age is around 31. Imagine all those people who have seen less than you, learned less than you. By a slight margin they make up the bulk of humanity. Congrats on becoming an elder. Go teach them what you know.

Congrats on becoming an elder. Go teach them what you know.
But I don’t know anything
And others know even less than you. This is the way of the world and the context in which we must continually mold it!
”context” and “in which” in the same sentence
GET OUT OF MY HEAD! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
We're closer to the end of humanity than we are to the invention of flight
Are these the things I should be teaching or too doomer for the zoomers? 🤔
I keep trying to teach them things but they keep telling me I have L rizz and negative aura and that I need to become a skibbity sigma rizzler.
I watched all the videos about a head coming out of a toilet and I still don't get it.
This shit is more confusing than Hegel!
Jokes aside, I feel that the hexbear mode of communication - confident belief and fearless defense of your principles, combined with slightly unhinged and uncompromising shitposting - is pretty close to what the kids find cool. It's always been that, really. Trying to baby speak to them is a lost cause. Preaching at them even more so.

See, I'm one of those folks who just keep moving the goalposts of what young means to include them too.
The median age in the United States is 38, which is the highest it's ever been. That makes some of us the most middle-aged people of all time.
but the things they need to know are not the things i know
i guess i could start learning how to distill water from human beings and build deep-earth bunkers
yes, i will teach the young ones how to become a pathetic sexless loser, how to be dead broke unemployed and living with your parents as a 'middle aged' adult, and how to obsess over niche sci fi military topics to the point where they cannot have a normal conversation with literally any person.
