Yah dumbass...and Gen Z is beating us all.

the differnce is other generations can admit it. But narcisstic raised in glorious times faggot boomers can't. They can't STAND the fact that someone is beating them at something. Because in their pathetic minds all they have ever done is win. And now they hit 60 and wonder why no one respects them like they respected their elders when they finally reached their 30's and 40's.

Not as teens or 20's. But they wonder why people in their 30's and 40's don't respect them. Because by then they had learned respect for the older generation. But they get none of that now and wonder why.

This. This to me is one of the saddest parts of the boomer existence. I fully understand that not all boomers are like this and there are faults within every generation, but I’m sure we’ve all heard that classic boomer rant before. “Im twice your age! You have to listen to me because I’m just SOOOoooOOOoo old!”

I understand that with age comes wisdom... but only when the choice is made to actively cultivate knowledge and to have the humility to learn from experiences. Boomers have witnessed that age begets wisdom, but they somehow took it literally. It turns out that aging on the couch passively starring at Anderson Prolapsed Pooper on CNN address all the fake things to worry about isn’t what creates great thinkers.

I feel disheartened for the grandchildren of the boomers. The experience of having a sage older person who is invested in them and gives profound advice will be missing, and replaced with this attention seeking, psycho stunted narcissist. Perhaps it’ll create a new kind of wisdom. After all, wise men learn more from fools than fools do from wise men.
