    Yup. Generational amnesia is going to fuck us all, even people old enough to know better…between nonsense like antivaxxer and fascism and probably a few other things I’m forgetting right now, it’d be nice if there were a great way to download wisdom.

    One path for that, one might hope, is education. But that obviously has not worked. Whether that’s by design thanks to the intentional sabotage of the far right and how much of that sentiment is really, really hard to translate to younger minds is hard to say - since younger minds tend to be, as a general rule, extremely narcissistic.
