RE: Common Sense Is An Illusion

in #philosophy7 years ago

You explained it really well :) Actually you mentioned something that I had never thought about before. I always assumed that the relationship between age and a not-giving-a-fuck attitude (very funny graph, btw!) was only due to the fact that young people interact through social groups while older people already have their own uniquely sculpted personalities and go their own merry way. But what you mentioned is also true: young people, although in larger social groups are also more "selfish", in the sense that they expect more of other people than what they can give back, and this comes from the fact that as a child, you have everyone catering for you. So obviously you get more frustrated when people don't act like you'd want them to!

Glad our perspectives meet then.

it's funny how humans grow to understand their own tragedy.
