“This Generation Is Doomed!” — The Ancient Tradition of Blaming the Youth

“This Generation Is Doomed!” — The Ancient Tradition of Blaming the Youth You’ve heard it before: "These kids today are always on their phones!" "They don’t go outside like we used to!" "They’re soft, disconnected, and distracted!" This chorus rings out from porches, podcasts, pulpits, and barbershops alike. But the more we listen, the more we realize—it’s not a new song. It's a remix of an ancient tune. What we’re hearing is not prophecy. It’s tradition. Not the youth breaking something sacred—but the elders struggling with the sacred breaking open and becoming something new. The Cycle of Complaint: A Timeless Pattern Every generation gets blamed for the downfall of the world. It’s almost a rite of passage. Ancient Egypt (KMT): Elders worried that young scribes were too informal with sacred texts, diluting divine knowledge. Socrates & Writing: The great philosopher warned that writing would weaken memory and destroy true understand...

IGNORANCE

What happened to the desire to learn? Where has it gone in our youth, and most of our adults?

Zombies

I was thinking about Americas fascination with zombies. I wonder why they seem like the rage of the times. There is zombie shows and movies popping up everywhere, and I cant help but to wonder why? Is the American public enjoying the idea of mindless, twits running around with a bottomless hunger that can never be satisfied. Is subconsciously taking a look at its self in these fantasies. Hell, as i was driving to work I swear a saw a few zombies walking to their nest.  Shit we seem at least to me to be living in a post or maybe current apocalyptic time, in which people are being infected with a mental virus that catapults them into a zombie state. I have witnessed many occasions in which people have shut there thinking off and acted as zombie. I myself am guilty of this shit that I am describing. Christmas is approaching and watch some of the shit the masses do in the name of this holiday. Zombies are not on the TV or in movie theaters they exi...
