You know my Mom insisted years ago that I fed my children breast milk instead of baby formula, her reason simply was that the babies fed human milk would be humans in the future while those fed with sheep, goat and cow milk would produce children with the same behavioural pattern as those animals. It was a very amusing perspective that she had but I made her understand that the human behaviour could not be influenced by the milk fed him as a baby but by a number of other factors.
Honestly when I see what is happening in our society with the kids, I fear for the future and I have concluded that parents and caretakers are largely to be held responsible for the 'sheeple', 'goatple' and the 'cowple' generation we have today. The environment a distant second.
As others have commented (or will), it's difficult to draw parallels across the generations but one thing is certain, things are spiraling downwards at a rapid rate and it's that which I sort of wanted to point out. Manners, courtesy, the strain on resources, the medical system, skyrocketing inflation, the environment, deforestation, the ocean, air and so on...The rise of AI and the decline of human thought...it's all out of whack and I don't think will lead to a good place...but many think it's going ok and that's their prerogative. Sticking one's head in the sand and ignoring the issues and problems won't make them go away though.
Thanks for your considered comment and thoughts.
