Ahhhh. No. I wish. My coming of age was sheer terror and a surreal nightmare that forced me to abandon any notion of higher education and jump into a job at a shoe factory at 17 and leave home or face years more abuse from the adults involved. I learned that motion no matter what kind or in which direction was preferable - and safer - than standing still. That was survival and there was no rose colored anything.
I could go into a similar tack with the assumption that everyone is middle-class and comes from a stable, safe home.. God knows that's something I can only imagine, but I can advocate for action - regardless of the upbringing of the kids. It's not about anything but maintaining motion in one's life.
The "fuck you" to the college students from these tech dipshits is predictable.
It's the same "fuck you" that put the working class to pasture when the country's factory jobs were offshored. I watched mine go to Korea at 21.
If the kids can leverage AI to undermine the dipshits, they could start with the phrase "monkeywrenching" and see where it goes from there.
That would be.. interesting.
