i strongly disagree with this sentiment, not everyone needs external guidance if they're raised right

kids raised deep in the social media era cant really introspect that well i think. like they're more concerned with how others view them than with how they really are on the inside yk? they watch those videos because they need to know how to perform their life rather than just living it. they look for those external sources to teach them how to be bcoz they're completely disconnected from any sort of internal compass

Eh I gotta disagree. The ability to do these things at the end of the day comes down to a child’s ability to develop within the confines of a learning environment, influence of their parents and their development with intra/interpersonal dynamics.

Growing up in this social media era I think actually helps a lot more kids be able to have the ability to introspect as they are presented to so many of the concepts and ideas you and I didn’t become aware of until we were much older.

I can ask my 4-10 year old nieces/nephews a question and actually watch them try to work the idea around in their head until it makes sense. They also tell me stories and the way they go about a***yzing their social situations, it sounds way more grown than what I was doing at the same age.

Parents these days are less involved than they were in the past because now they have to work more hours. They're not being developed with love and care or learning these interpersonal dynamics. And just because kids have the tools in front of them to learn more and sooner than previous generations doesn't mean that they are. Their attention is being preyed upon by these corpos that only care about clicks and watch time, not actual education. Couple that with how our (speaking of america here) education system has been defunded and sabotaged for decades and you've got a generation of young children who can no longer even read let alone think critically of what they are exposed to.

I think it’s the opposite really

I think most people my age (early 20s) overthink a lot about themselves to the point they search for external advice to see if their doing anything right in life.

Ask any teacher or parent these days. All this s*** is super concerning and really leading us down a dark path. It’s gonna be wild in 10-15 years to see the repercussions of all this

But to say my generation doesn’t do any introspection is kinda wrong if you look at the whole scope of things

Like I think boomers fit this description the most because they have the most untreated trauma and subscribe to random ideologies the most

Tbh I'm glad that I grew up before tiktok and Andrew Tate became a thing. I see their videos now and can recognize how full of BS they are. Unfortunately if I were growing up now I would probably be pretty intrigued with what they are saying.

Sucks for the kids of this generation tbh. They are going to grow up and be super screwed up in the head.

Don’t see how you can say Scorsese was opposed to the concept of a Travis bickle when he was effectively portrayed as a protagonist who inexplicably gets away with all of the f***ed up bullshit he did and literally smiles as he rode off into the sunset

Such an overrated and stupid movie
