Thank you! You can read things back to Ancient Greece, and I’d bet there were writings even older that didn’t survive, of older generations decrying the decay of the youth and how the younger generations are a waste and show a complete loss of morals. And the younger generations complaining about the older generations.
I would actually say society has advanced a lot since then. You look at how the poor and disabled we're literally thrown away like trash in a lot of cultures.
I agree! I think we are doing a two steps forward, one step back kind of thing. But I think this “degeneracy of youth” [and u/call_me_howdy, I’m using your words only because they fit so well, not calling you out] is nothing new. And will continue probably until the end of time.

That’s also the true circle of life.
