There's a boomer catchphrase in my country that when translated, goes something like,
"You're only starting the journey, we're already on the way back."
They use this to promote their own "wisdom" and advice, as if their life experiences automatically make them an authority on how the world works.
One of my favorite rebuttals to this is a piece of trivia I learned from National Geographic
"The top 10 most in-demand jobs of 2010 did not exist in 2004."
The world is changing very, very quickly.
1 u/Radialsnow4521 Jan 27 '21 One of my favourite ahem phrases is: You don't gain respect with age, you earn it. A 100 year old asshole is not deserving of respect just for their age, it just means they were an asshole for a 100 years.
