We Can’t control Fate.
But we can pass on the Wisdom accumulated.
Ignore History. AND The Future is Doomed.
So said. Con-Fu-Cius.

Youth are The Formative Years. Pre Puberty.
Good Bad or Indifferent…
How Parents & those allowed to associated with.
Peers Priests or Patrons. Conduct Themselves.
Become imbedded. Sublimatetive Or Depositional.
To what extent.
Dependent on The Chosen Adult Environment.
AI. Isn’t One of Them.

What I miss most is the lost financial benefits my own abilities once provided me with.

Live is lived back to front. When you were young, imagine what you’d do if you’d the insights, knowledge and money behind you to do the best you could do… Instead you got the insecurities, the lack of resources, the dumbness of youth. Its a miracle any of us came out in one piece.

Must be why some grew up to be such miserable old sods with delusions of granduer. I just loved life in the swinging 60s.

I’m glad I was brought up in a time of innocence.
I know what it’s like with no smartphone, no internet, and no sat nav.
I’ve enjoyed retrieving information from a book, and reading a map, or just being out in the country and out of communication with the world.
Most people who use the internet don’t realise the power they have in their hand, they don’t understand it, and it fills their heads with mush, preventing them from having a life they should be experiencing.

I sure do agree with that, and today’s life lived through the internet by youngsters saddens me. Not just youngsters, but will those who have spent all their working lives sitting at desks and staring at screens reach old age or will today’s average age of dying return to previous times?

Yes, It will be interesting to see how future generations develop in older age Davey.
Already we can a see a vast change in younger people with more obesity, suicide and mental health issues. The need to live up to other peoples expectations that they see on social media and the TV with reality shows and even soaps.
There was never all of this input back when we were young, you were only concerned with events that happened in your own community, now with 24 hour rolling news services we are taking on the troubles of the world. Climate issues, protests, violence and aggression, racism, and gender issues. All the things that were never, or rarely heard of.
