There's this "now that I'm exiting, you're all fucked" phenomenon that exists among older folks. Perhaps a result of optimism waning at the end of a life. I'm not young. But I guess I'm more optimistic than this.


I see a lot of pessimism amongst young people. Mainly related to having spent years preparing to enter the job market and suddenly finding out their skill set is soon to be obsolete.


I wonder how much is related to the aging of the population. You see the world differently when surrounded by young and children. Which is now gone in many parts of the world.
