is the fallacy that we are not alive and interacting with the current world
Well said. These people are in their 20s and 30s, talking about people in their 50s as if they have no idea about what is going on. And, have children that they have engaged with, and observed the many issues too.
The one thing I have to check myself on is acknowledging that everyone has to take their own path.
For sure. But if the path is to blame others for the path taken, isn't that something that should be highlighted?
