Smacks of condescension, elitism, and historical naivety
Sorry, socially engineered infantilization is just an explanation, not a justification
It is not as though the tools to become a well rounded adult have been denied. In fact it’s arguable that with the internet those tools are more accessible than ever. It’s a personal choice to give in to the easy solutions and not seek out broader knowledge and understanding
This reads a lot to me like Sokrates’ speech that the children are all spoiled today. I.e. it has always been that way but people continuously assume that they have it especially bad in that regard.
Already a term for it… maybe they weren’t aware of it on account of being twelve.
