The global order is being dismantled by a generation that will not live to see the wreckage they leave behind, says Belgian author and philosopher David Van Reybrouck
It is in the hands of the the worst pieces of human shit that could be found.
And stupid voters. Don't forget the stupid apathetic voters.
Elders were a great source is information when the world didn't change much. Now they know everything about a world that became irrelevant a decade or two ago.
Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Mao – were all in their 30s or 40s when they rose to power.

"Wise Elders" is why we are in this shit show. They "know all" about shit that was wrong even 20 years ago, and hold onto to the feelings of the time (racism) and poison the modern well with those feelings.
I do not agree with the notion of "wise elders". I don't want to dismiss the wisdom that comes with experience and time, but there's too many other factors to disrupt it.

The boomers have completely destroyed the illusion of age equaling wisdom. They're the generation most responsible for today, and today is a shitshow of unbridled narcissism.
IDK; my father is one or two generations before boomers and what they did was not better.

Elders are not the solution. Hero worship is a fatal flaw, and this author might know that, but the headline suggests otherwise.

It might be an opinion piece but that summary is 100% true.
It’s missing “idiotic” in the description, somewhere, though.
World would be better place if womem vote exclusively for women.
True. We need more Margaret Thatchers alongside the Trumps of this world.
We definitely need more Trumps alongside Margaret Thatcher .. all of them would be good ...
