Hi Jason, well written article, great material. Obviously I don't know much about the US, but I can say that in IT and the EU in general the situation is similar but not the same.

These kids, who should be the smartest, are completely lost and I think it is a natural consequence of bad parenting.

Besides bad education, there can be many reasons. Society is falling apart and role models have changed. For example, our generation used to have parants and family members as successful role models, now these stupid kids have tiktoker influencers as such! They would say everything and deny it right away for just a few likes, for just a little bit of public attention. Moral values have also disappeared....

Peer pressure is also a factor. These students feel lonely, and loneliness pushes them to conform to the crowd. I think big events with major media coverage make them feel part of something. If really one day these fools will lead our governments, businesses and society in general, well we are screwed.

So are the stereotypes and prejudices. I have been lucky enough to live in several countries, but the stereotypes are always the same. People are also biased.

I can't understand how these assholes are able to enroll in major universities... and they think we control the media, we rule the world.... It's all so messed up my friend.

Thanks a lot
